Ripley Riders Club
Ripley Riders Club has been a successful riding club for over 65 years. However, this season has possibly been our toughest yet. Earlier this year it was confirmed that our showground would no longer be available for use and hence an EGM (extraordinary general meeting) was called. At this meeting it became apparent that the majority of the committee, who had successfully run the show for a number of years, were also not going to stand for reelection. At the AGM, as predicted, a number of the old committee stood down and it became apparent that there would be no more Ripley Riders Club unless a new committee and a new showground could be found. Thankfully a new committee was formed and, with much hard work and perseverance, we now have a new showground too. We are based on Riddings Park, off Park Side, Somercotes, Derbyshire. (SATNAV: DE55 4LA). Our next shows are on 7th July, 21st July (open show with Equestrian Life Qualifiers), 4th August, 1st September and 15th September. Ripley Riders Club is now in its 66th season and we hope to see friends, old and new, at our new showground. Jane Morgan
