EHOA – AGM Burghley

It was great to see so many of you over the weekend at Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials.  It was a challenging weekend weather-wise with beautiful sunny days and rainy days but it had a brilliant atmosphere and congratulations go to all.

The AGM was well attended and I am delighted to report that all new board members were duly elected. Jeremy Skinner commented on the 2015 accounts  (available on the website) and confirmed that subscription income for 2016 was holding steady.  If you were unable to join us, you can read the chairman’s welcome speech here.
