Two New RDA Whips

Nick takes Aaron on his first drive out as a qualified RDA Whip
Keith has his drive out as a qualified RDA Whip with Wendy

On Saturday 27th September two of our regular volunteers faced Jenny Pennell, the RDA south west regional carriage driving examiner to become qualified to drive disabled adults.
We are so proud at the East Holton Driving Centre to have Nick and Keith join Jane and Maureen and myself as qualified RDA whips. This allows us so much more flexibility and perhaps enable us to take out a few more people with disabilities in the next season.
I should make it clear that we shall keep the horses shod and continue driving when the weather permits throughout the winter this year.

We still need more volunteer helpers and a second 4-wheel wagonette. For every drive that goes out we need at least three volunteers to escort the RDA whip.
