## **’ – rd CTG AGM Chairman s Report 3 December 2023**
The Club had a very busy year in 2022/23 – many thanks to the members of the tiny committee who organised all the events.
The year commenced with Arena training for PTV and MA at Longdrove Equestrian Centre with Tara Osborne on October 1st.
Unmounted POR training was held at Irchester Country Park in January using some of the Orienteering trails – many people attended and found it very challenging but worthwhile.
A guided walk and POR training was held at Dimlicote Livery yard, Great Bowden in early May as preparation for the Level 1 and 2 competition.
4 Winter Arena TRECs were held at Moulton Equestrian Centre, outdoors in October, March and April and indoors in December. All classes except the Open were well attended, the In Hand classes at the two latest events had to be divided due to the number of entries. Good entries were made in the Novice and Newcomer Classes at all the events suggesting the Winter Arena TRECs are achieving their aim – getting more people into the sport. Sarah Wynn and Bev Abbott did a magnificent job running all 4 with a very small band of helpers.
Two summer competitions were held in 2023.
Shangton Grange TREC at the end of May attracted 47 entries for Levels 1 and 2. The organisation on the weekend was challenging to say the least with such a small committee, some of whom could only do 1 day. However the Event was very successful and appreciated by all who competed. The ladies of Shangton put on a superb meal and the Event made a substantial donation to Shangton Church from the profits (as requested by the landowners). Plans are underway to hold a higher level competition at Shangton Grange in autumn 2024.
Jackie Bennet, a long standing member of Central TREC Group and Lyn Mabbit put on the English Championships on behalf of CTG at a new venue close to Cannock Chase in July for Levels 2, 2A, 3 and 4. 64 entrants, including several committee members who cannot normally compete in CTG events because they are organising them, met the considerable challenges that The Chase can produce on the Saturday and then tackled the formidable PTV course on the Sunday. Due to the distance that Jackie and Lyn and the TDs had to travel to set the courses less money was raised than hoped but the event still made a profit and was very well received by the whole TREC community. Again the landowners were impressed by the organisation and the behaviour of the TREC competitors and we expect to be able to go back there again.
There was one National TREC Championships in 2023, held at Bibury, Gloucestershire on 18[th] to 20[th] August. 14 Central Members took part and all were placed highly in their respective classes (see table below). The greatest achievement was Anna Lea and Mary Weston becoming Level 3 Pairs Champions.
In addition CTG won the Club Team Award for the second time (previously won in 2015). 3 teams were entered for the Team Challenge Award. The Central Conquerors – Anna Lea, Mary Weston and Chrissie Upchurch – won with the Central Crusaders coming 5[th ] and the
Central Challengers not far behind – magnificent results when one considers over 20 teams from 10 Clubs were entered.
Members have also had successes at other summer competitions and 11 CTG Members will be getting TREC GB Summer League Awards in January.
This all shows how dedicated our members are to the sport of British TREC. At the end of the year we had 47 Riding members and 3 Supporter members.
The members of the committee are also very dedicated and hard working. In May Sarah Wynn stepped down as Chairman and left the committee to pursue work commitments and her career. Sally Elliott also left the committee in July. We thank them both for all they have done over the years.
Helen Duckmanton joined us in the summer and Katie Leak joined the committee in September. We very much welcome new faces with new ideas to the small band of Helen Martin, Bev Abbott, Siobham O’Toole, Trish Donnelly and myself, Mary Weston. 3.12.2023
