Dear members
As you are aware from the most recent newsletter, the club is currently seriously struggling financially. Therefore we have set up a Crowd Funding page to raise money to build our Cross Country course. We really hope initially you can all get behind this and then spread the word by sharing via social media. Without the course we can not raise money, and we need money to make the course! We are keen to provide a top of the range facility at our new field with the hope that it can be used for many years to come for all members to enjoy. In order for crowd funding to be a success, prior to sending out viral we need to show the public that we have people behind the cause-this is where our members come in (you).
For those of you who might be new to Crowd Funding it works by supporting organisations and clubs who need to raise money for projects. We set it up and ask the general public to support it! You can pledge as much or as little as you like, there are certain rewards that can be earned depending on the amount pledged or you can just donate without claiming rewards in order to save our club that has its 75th Birthday this year.
We have never asked members to help us financially before and really hope that you will support it with as little or as much as you can spare. You could even get your company to sponsor a fence or get together as a syndicate! We have 6 weeks to reach the huge target of £10,000 but as you can imagine with this target reached the facility will be something great.Please follow the link to donate, let’s keep this club going!http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bath-riding-club-cross-country-course Many Thanks for your kind support Bath Riding Club fundraising Committee

2016 Awards
We had a great turnout for our Awards and AGM evening at the Fox & Hounds on 30th November. It is always nice to recognise those that have done well throughout the year, whether it is at Bath RC run events or through the ever popular versatility awards where points are gained across all disciplines. Below are the results from the evening.
One award that is also extremely important is the Helper of the Year Award which is presented to the member who is not on the committee but has helped a considerable amount of time over the year. We could not run events without our helpers and we really do appreciate our members and friends giving up their time to assist at competitions.
