We have opened a new bank account for Central (as our old bank account now requires a phone-app based online security process, but the app has dreadful reviews and their phone customer services line usually has a long queue). This account should hopefully pass all checks for online banking, which the old one didn’t always. Please could anyone who pays money to the club by BACS update their records with the new bank details:

Lloyds account, sort code 30-54-66, account number 34880160

PayPal payments will of course be unaffected (so can still be sent to paypal@trecgroup.co.uk if being sent direct, as well as via the Store), as I have updated the necessary details my end.

On the subject of PayPal, I would like to make a request – please send payments over to us in the smallest number of transactions that you can. PayPal charge fees (they are as low as we can get them, as we are a registered charity) made up of a transaction fee and a percentage of the payment amount. Putting a membership fee and an event entry in the same basket in the Store means they are paid for together and so only one transaction fee is paid.

For example, paying for a year’s membership (£15) and an entry to a one-day event (say, £50) diverts a total of £1.11 in fees to PayPal when done together but £1.31 (41p and 90p) if done as 2 separate PayPal transactions. The difference is small (only 20p in this example) but it does mount up over the year – possibly £20-30 is going to PayPal instead of Central each year, and of course we need to make as much profit as we can if we are to keep our membership and entry fees as low as possible.

If you have any problems or queries about either of the above please contact me via central@trecgroup.co.uk. Many thanks, Helen

We are really excited for our first competition of the Summer 2025 season: a level 1 individual and pairs competition at Thorpe Langton on Sunday 18 May 2025.

Please click here for the schedule containing full details. Entries open on 31 March 2025 and will close on 30 April 2025 (or once the competition is full, if earlier).

The entry form is available here and please visit the Store to pay for your entry once you have completed the form. We have a special offer for non-members that their entry also includes CTG membership until 30.09.2025 – if this applies to you, please also complete our membership form available here so that our Membership Secretary can process your membership.

We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you there. Please email us if you have any questions.

The start times (v3 FINAL) and competitor information for this weekend’s Moulton 3 competition are now available.

Please note that the PTV rounds in the Open Intermediate and Intermediate have Brenda’s horses going ‘out of order’ – the times are marked in orange to make them stand out.

We will be parking behind the cattle building again, so follow the map at the end of the Comp Info. The cafe won’t be open but there will be a snack van (somewhere!) – no idea about whether they will take cash and/or cards so it might be worth bringing both.

The scores for our second Arena TREC of the 2024-25 season are now available on the Results page.

The schedule for our third and final event of the season is now on the Calendar page, get your entry in quickly to secure your place!

Please click here for the Competitor Information for Sunday’s arena TREC.

Version 1 of the start times is available – please check back on Saturday to make sure that nothing has changed. If a round that you are expecting (for yourself or someone else) is not showing please email moulton@trecgroup.co.uk and we will look into it.

We will start building the courses at 9am, any help is very gratefully received! Similarly at the end of the day – all the kit needs to go back in the trailer and many hands make light work…

The schedule for our next Arena TREC competition is now available.

We’ve taken your feedback on board and included an open and open intermediate class, as well as the training. This is detailed on the calendar page (rather than in the schedule itself). We may need to amalgamate/cancel some classes or the training if there are not sufficient entries.

CTG members will have received an email recently about the upcoming AGM, being held on Zoom this year on Wednesday 4th December, starting at 7pm.

As part of the AGM we usually present the trophies that the club awards each year, as well as the CTG Summer League prizes.

We would like to invite nominations for the 2024 Katy Memorial Award, which is presented to the horse or pony owned or ridden by a CTG member that club members feel most deserves recognition for its contribution to TREC.

Nominations may be submitted to central@trecgroup.co.uk by any CTG member for any horse/pony (or other equine) they deserves recognition – they don’t need to be the owner or rider of the horse concerned. Nominations need to be received by 8pm on Monday 2nd December 2024.

If you would like to dial in to the AGM but didn’t receive the Zoom details please email the above address. We hope that lots of members will join the meeting (items for Any Other Business and apologies for absence can be sent to the same email address).

Come and try TREC with some training or practice the PTV obstacles that you find tricky. 45 minute sessions either with a trainer or practising on your own, both in groups of up to 4 riders.

Full details are available here.

Please contact Mary Weston (07712 557721) or Helen Martin (07979 5964665) with any enquiries. Sessions are available on both Saturday and Sunday, please indicate on the JotForm all the sessions that you are available and your level of experience so that we can group riders for the best groups. Times will be available here by Thursday 5th December.

We were very lucky with the weather for most of the day today at Moulton College EC, but the afternoon classes did get rather damp – so much so that the Newcomer class didn’t run. Those who competed in the morning had a good time though, and the rosettes and prizes were hotly contested!

The results from the 4 classes that took place are now available on the Results page, and we look forward to seeing lots of people again after Christmas (16th February and 16th March 2025). Scoresheets from the afternoon classes will be distributed to riders where possible, and taken to Moulton 2 in February if no alternative can be found.

Version 1s of the start times and competitors information are now available for Sunday’s competition. Please check back here on Saturday in case any changes have had to be made (the version number will be advanced if so).
