If you are waiting for a reply to your query or your membership card to arrive, please bear with us. The office is very busy at the moment and we aren’t able to bring extra staff in due to the restrictions so things are taking a little longer than usual. Thank you and keep safe.

Due to the pandemic, our AGM will be held virtually via the Zoom app on Saturday 12th December 2020 at 2pm.

Many other societies have run successful virtual meetings in this extraordinary climate and reported positively.

If you would like to attend, please email the office by Wednesday 9th December for your invitation link.

We will need to know who is attending so if you are joint members please include both attendee names.

If you haven’t received an invite by Thursday 10th December, please make contact with the office by the 11th December.

Due to time constraints, we will be requesting that any questions be submitted in advance of the meeting to the office by 9th December. We will endeavour to answer them during the AGM but if unable to, will respond during the following week.

Instructions on how to use Zoom will be sent with your invite for those members who are new to video conferencing.

Forestry England are running a survey into what physical activity you do in their forests. Riding and carriage driving are not one of the listed activities, and therefore would fall within the ‘other physical activity’ box. This is an ideal opportunity for us to remind Forestry England how much their forests are used for riding and carriage driving.

If you ride and/or carriage drive in a Forestry England forest please complete the survey, selecting the ‘other activity’ box stating that you ride and/or carriage drive in one of their forests.

The survey remains open until 31 March 2021, and can be found at this link
