Hey All,
I have been wondering how many IHers there are in Berkshire - in particular Newbury? I know some of you but not many...so come out and show yourselves!
I have been thinking of arranging a coffee morning one Saturday for all us like minded people to share ideas. I know it's been talked about on here in other areas but doesn't look like anyone has arranged anything in this area...hey Kelly could even come along as she's only up the road!! ;D
So - anyone fancy it? Let me know as I don't mind arranging it....
Jen

Ooow, good luck Jenny, we started very small but have attracted loads of people who now all seem to have joined IH and book onto courses, so we are acheiving what we set out to do - subtly spreading IH and CR!
Now, let me know if Kelly pops in won't you? I've been inviting her to our HCMs for nearly 12 months and as yet she hasn't made a single one! I guess she's not 'just up the road', from us though! Maybe she will make the HCM birthday party in March?!
Good luck.

Jenny, don't hold your breath for locals we hardly get any. Nearly everyone travels for at least 30mins! That's real dedication! I'm in Chester, LisaP is in Knutsford and people travel from all around! We meet once a month, have built up to having talks and toasties. We are now getting 20+ coming along to have fun. Check out the next issue of 'YOUR HORSE' mag for more details and tips, we have even got ourselves in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny A
I would love to have come but I am down in the New Forest doing a Pleasure Ride (Silver Gambler Series of Rides).
Another way of meeting people is to meet up at a local pub for a drink and a meal.
I go with a group of friends from Arabian Lines

I'd be up for this too....guess the first thing would be to pick a location that's central to everyone who is interested....I know me, donniedarco and Jenny are Newbury-ish....

Well there should be a few of us now! Should we plan a weekend get together? May be easiest. Anyone any ideas on where to meet?

I'm in Basingstoke, so not too far.
Coffee sounds good, and a weekend perfect.

Hi Jenny - I'm not too far away in Oxfordshire - so depending on the date, I'd be up for a coffee morning!
