2008 Season Draws To A Close

Felix limbering up!


As the season draws to a close we start looking ahead. The horses shoes will be coming off on Monday 13th when driving will cease and the horses start a well deserved holiday.

Extracts from the EHDC Trustee Meeting on 1st October 2008:

To start with, Wally received an invitation from the Household Cavalry Association to re-submit our application for charity funds at the HCA AGM in October, but when he discovered that there would also be another submission from the Household Cavalry Operational Casualty Fund it was unanimously agreed by all trustees that we should withdraw our application in favour of the Casualty Fund. The East Holton Driving Centre has been receiving very generous support from the HCA for many years for which we are most grateful, so we wll be looking around for other funding sources.

September has seen quite a healthy income due mainly to donations.

Coffee Mornings.
It was decided that coffee mornings would feature regularly on Wednesdays at 11.00am during the closed season. These sessions are open to members, all disabled drivers and their carers, volunteers and prospective volunteers at The Courtyard Centre in Lytchett Minster. It will provide a good opportunity for everyone to keep in touch during the winter and for prospective volunteers to check us out!

Christmas Lunch
To be held on Wednesday 17th December at 12.30 at the Courtyard Centre.

Carols and Lantern Walk
Holton Lee was delighted with the success of this event last year and have proposed date of 11th December at 6.30pm.
