Just like to wish Jim Many Happy Returns on his 70th BIRTHDAY on Thursday 5th February. Because he cannot drive the big silver lorry anymore (due to age changes in his driving licence) his birthday present to himself is a new’ish horse box painted in very “girly” lime green and claret with lovely ponies with silver manes and tails painted on the sides. Look out for the new lorry at the events this year – it is hard to miss!!..Berry..
Car boot sale went really well even though it was a very cold, icy day. We had about 11 cars there selling and lots of buyers. Vicky from Horse World and Clare from Mill House Stables where there selling off stock. There was plenty for everyone.
The teas and coffees were selling out fast, it was a good day, so “Thanks” for the support and we made £170 for the NICDA Club. Christine Wright. (Club Treasurer)
John Goodwin (Club Chairman) would like to add:- “on behalf of the Committee, I would like to congratulate Christine Wright and her willing helpers, who despite the inclement weather conditions, carried on and made our first fund raising event of 2015 a success. With this level of enthusiasm and commitment our Club is in good hands”
We would like to thank all the Drivers who responded to the “Text Questionnaire”, and as a result, the Organisers have booked MacKenzies for the 4 dates on the Event Calendar. Well done to all. Click here for MacKenzies website
