FANTASTIC TRIP OF A LIFETIME TO HONG KONG WITH INCENTEVENTS
Shirley Reed, our Prize Draw winner, has returned from a trip of a lifetime to Hong Kong to watch our eventing squad bring home double bronze. Accompanied by her husband, Shirley said that 'the trip was marvellous and very well organised by Incentevents. The hotel was magnificent; the best I have ever stayed in and having Richard Waygood on the trip was a great asset'.

Many congratulations to EHOA Board member, Sharon Hunt on her Olympic selection with Tankers Town. We wish her great success in Hong Kong in August.
A TRIP TO THE OLYMPICS!
As part of the EHOA's 10th Anniversary Celebrations, Incentevents offered all members of the EHOA the chance to win a Trip for Two to the Olympic Games in Hong Kong for the Three-day Eventing competition in August. This was a most generous offer from Incentevents, allowing two people to have a life-time opportunity to experience the thrill of the Olympics.
The eagerly-awaited Draw took place in the EHOA's tent at Badminton and Ian Dennis, Managing Director of Incentevents, with Sharon Hunt, an EHOA Board Member and now a selected member of the Team, drew the winning ticket. Mrs Shirley Reed was the fortunate name to come out of Sir Michael Turner's splendid hat-box. She and her husband are thrilled to be able to go on the Trip and so excited at the prospect of visiting Hong Kong and what will undoubtedly be an enthralling competition.
We wish them a wonderful, memorable, time and we offer our most grateful thanks to Ian Dennis and Incentevents for giving our membership the chance to celebrate 10 hugely successful years of the EHOA.
