VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
We often need an extra pair of hands at our events and training sessions. We work with some of the best trainers and riders in the region and helping out at our events - eg seminars, BYRDS Camp, lecture demos etc not only means you get in for free (of course!) you can hear from some of the very best and most experienced equestrian people around and it's amazing how much you can learn that way.
Have you ever thought about being a writer at affilliated competitions? Again, you can learn a phenomenal amount by sitting in with an experienced list judge, so whether you are starting out or thinking about making the jump up to the next level writing can help you to see things as a judge does and gain a better insight into how vital marks are won and lost.
Please contact Sharon or Members Rep Sharon Edwards if you would like to offer your services as an occasional volunteer. We are trying to build up a list of names of people we can approach for extra help on the occasions we need it and we'd love to hear from you!
