Murrumbidgee Carriage Driving Club

Last updated July 2010

The club celebrates its 10th Birthday with a reunion dinner in July, whilst plans are under way for a One Hour CDE in August and the Carnival Capers in September. A couple of working bees have seen the completion of the new wash bay at the Murrami.
Members have been out and about competing over the last few months. The Hammonds completed a number of events including the Australian Championships with their pony pair. The Schmetzers drove Yarrandale Moonstruck, owned by fellow members Luke and Chris Burns, at the Marrar CDE and the Brands followed up their performance with the pony team at the Australian Championships, by taking two singles to Nyah. Meanwhile, Linda Newman volunteered her help at the Marrar CDE.
Congratulations to Bruce McNally for being nominated for NSW ACDS Dressage Driver of the Year.
Trevor and Belinda Brand along with Yarrandale Rosepetal attended the Zone 21 Pony Club camp at Rankins Springs recently. Over 30 pony clubbers had the chance to learn about carriage driving. Each had the opportunity to assist in harnessing and putting to. They then drove Rosie around the Football Oval accompanied by either Trevor or Belinda. Many displayed excellent skills.
John McGough and Betty Miles send their regards from New Zealand to all the friends they made in Australia during the cultural exchange. Belinda Brand
