A presentation was made to Roie McGill in recognition of her outstanding contribution to Pony Club, particularly the training of senior riders for outside competitions. There was a good attendance at the Raetihi annual general meeting with no changes in office bearers. Co-ordina-tor Nicki Williams thanked all parents for their help and support throughout a busy season, which included a number of fine achievements at National competitions, namely two representatives at the North Island Dressage Teams Championships at Katikati, a team at the Timberlands O.D.E. at Tokoroa and two members in the King Country team to compete at the New Zealand Pony Club Championships at Cambridge this week. The Waimarino A.G.M. resulted in a compl'ete change of office bearers, with Nicki Williams elected District Commissioner, Nita Wilde as president, Jill Evans as secretary, Evelyn Cooper as officer in charge of equipment, and Roie McGill as chief instructor. Pony Club in the Waimarino wishes to thank all those members of the community who helped and supported them throughout the year with their activities.
