Mr Norman Hathersich was the clubs president from January 2001 until he passed away in 2007. Long before his presidency, Norman was a great supporter of the club and rarely missed an event. The Cabbyl Clubs Easter Fun Show.....The Norman Hathersich Memorial Show was very successful, which was very pleasing as,at the AGM it had been decided to donate all the profit from this show to the Palliative Care Nurses (previously known as McMillan nurses) at Hospice. Today (13 August) Committee members, together with Normans daughters Jane Hathersich-Jones and Tracey Wiltcher and Normans grandson Toby Wiltcher handed over a cheque £1008.60 to members of staff at the Hospice. RBS International have a community cash back scheme. Members of staff involved in fund raising can make a claim to the scheme and their fund raising efforts will be matched. Thanks to our hard working committee member Janice, we were able to double our profit total of £504.30 and donate twice that amount. This is the second year in succession we have donated over £1,000.00 to chosen charities. Last years recipients were The Isle of Man branch of Riding for the Disabled and Island Horse and Pony Aid. Thanks to every one who has in any way supported the Cabbyl Club over the past year. We are especially indebted to the land owners who allow us the use of their land to hold our events

CABBYL CLUB February 2008 Hi To All, Time is marching on ..February already and days are thankfully getting longer. Enclosed you will find a high viz armband. This year the Cabbyl club will be giving an armband to all of our members. Unbelievably there are still equestrians out there who do not see the need to wear high viz. Everyone should make every effort to be SEEN and hopefully they will then be SAFER. This not only applies to you and your horse, it also applies to all vulnerable road users. This handy armband can be kept in your pocket,handbag,car etc, ready to be used whenever needed. Please do not get lulled into a false sense of security if it happens to be a nice sunny day. In the shadows you and your horse can just disappear! Wear it; IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! This year the Cabbyl Club have a new initiative. THE CABBYL CLUB SUPPORTERS COMPETITION. This will be open to members and non-members alike. We hope to encourage and reward those who support the club, be it as a competitor, steward or general helper. Points will be awarded in the following way Every class entered at any event
1 point At each event we will have a competition book where you can sign in to earn your points. The onus will be on you to sign in. Competitors will automatically have their points awarded. At the risk of there being a mass resignation from the committee, it was decided that committee members were not going to be eligible for this competition!! The prize for this competition will be a pair of DUBARRY GALWAY BOOTS in a size of your choice. The winner of this competition will be announced at the AGM in November. Our thanks go to Stephen for this very generous sponsorship. Stephen can be contacted on 897310 (please leave a message) or 459158 to discuss your needs.
