Many thanks to everyone involved with the Quiz night on Saturday 17th June. It was a huge success with lots of laughs.
Through ticket sales and raffle we raised a total of £328 after taking off costs for the food and hall hire.
We now have enough money to be able to tackle a bridleway improvement project which we will discuss at our next meeting.
We need to promote the Quiz night. Clare has created a poster (link below to pdf). Please print and put up/circulate.
Mortimer Forest is a wonderful local place to ride and walk away from traffic and people. You are probably already aware but there is a threat to the forest with the proposed development of a holiday park with 68 log cabins. If you want to save the forest please sign the petition now.

Thanks,

We have been told by Shropshire Council that the work on Walters Lane is now booked for May this year. A quote was supplied to the council by a local contractor which they have approved. Start on the project has been put back to May to allow the ground conditions to dry out.
Thanks to Jo for her persistence.
Please find below a link to the Shropshire User Survey for 2017-2018.
We really do need to get responses up from Equestrians.
Each member of a family can fill in a separate Survey as an Equestrian. They can also do a separate one, if they wish, for other disciplines like walking, as this would have different responses.
Equestrian responses were outnumbered last year by responses from cyclists.
In 2016 there were only 48 responses from Equestrians to the User Survey, and in 2017 this increased to 133.
At the end of October 2017 the BHS alone had 1,357 BHS members in Shropshire, with regionally 7,456 BHS members, with no doubt many equestrians on our borders who ride into Shropshire.
I know we all get fed up filling in these sorts of survey and not seeing any outcome but for 5 minutes effort we need to be doing this and get the numbers of responses up. This is an annual survey so please do fill it in, and pass the link on.
