Southside Virginia Saddle Club
Newsletter July/August 2008
The meeting was called to order by President Betty Ann Poythress July 8, 2008. Minutes from our May meeting were read by Secretary, Andy Austin and accepted by attending members. Treasurers report was given by Kim Perry.
Members discussed past rides and talked about the great turn out at James River Park July 4th. We had about 20-25 members throughout the weekend. They rode, went canoeing/tubing and just relaxed.
The only pressing business is the upcoming American Cancer Benefit ride at Piney Pond Farm. This ride will be hosted by The Poythress family and is sponsored by Southside Va. Saddle club. The cost of admission and other details were discussed so that the flyer could be sent. It will be distributed via e-mail mostly. It can also be downloaded from the website. By the September meeting Betty Ann will need to know who will be able to help on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Andy Austin suggested we have a ride at his home on August 2, since we wont have a meeting. Its his Birthday and the club will provide hamburgers, hotdogs and drinks. Members are asked to bring a covered dish. Time will be 2pm. The ABC Show in Blackstone is the same day so we can check out the eveing show (15 mins away).
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, September 9th at Sue Gregory's pavillion. Time is 7pm. Major topick will be the Sept. 21 ride and the Oct. 4th ride.
