BHS on the move

Exactly eleven years since HRH The Princess Royal opened The British Horse Society’s headquarters at Stoneleigh the countdown to its new building has begun.
On Friday (23 October), the Society will close the doors behind them for the last time as they make way for the builders. Most of the staff will relocate to an office near Coventry railway station, but the Merchandising Department and the Riding Clubs and Competitions Department will move up the road to Allander House on the Royal Showground. If all goes to plan, the new HQ will be ready by October next year.

Members will not notice any disruption to the service from the BHS, except that its offices will be closed on Friday 23 and Monday 26 October for packing and unpacking.

The BHS’s phone numbers and postal address will remain unaltered (BT and the Post Office will redirect calls and mail).

The Society will be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to sponsor an element of the new building, or a piece of equipment, perhaps in memory of someone special to them. If anyone would like to do so, they can contact Graham Cory, Chief Executive of the BHS, to discuss how they can help.

 New BHS Headquarters

Follow Equestrian Team GBR in the run up to the Olympics

Follow the Olympic dream – visit www.teamgbrontrack.com and join today

Team GBR Ontrack is designed for anyone who wants to be part of Team GBR and show their support. It offers a range of benefits and includes two options to join – basic membership is completely free and full membership just £20.

As a member you will receive a monthly e-newsletter to keep you abreast of what is going on across equestrian sport, along with a variety of special offers and discounts. You will also receive invitations to exclusive GBR Ontrack fund raising events and have access to the online publication Impulsion, which will now be available only to GBR Ontrack supporters.

Full membership for a one off fee of £20 includes significant further benefits – such as a Team GBR Ontrack membership card, which also acts as a loyalty, discount and prepaid debit card. This card will give access to a wide range of further discounts, special offers and additional benefits. The discounts are for the things you really need – feed and forage, veterinary services, saddlery, tack, clothing and tickets at selected events.

Vitally, every time you use your card you will be raising funds to help potential medal winners
train, compete and achieve their goals. Although equestrian sport in the UK receives substantial lottery funding, unfortunately this financial support is not enough to cover all the costs associated with sending individuals and teams to international competitions, especially when they are abroad.

One lucky GBR Ontrack supporter will win a VIP trip for two to the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, USA.
