Chesley Saddle Club

Hi Folks – the ride this weekend has had a major setback – too much rain!

So the ride will go on, however there will be NO OVERNIGHT CAMPING because the field will be too wet to access.

Sorry folks

Mother Nature strikes again

Bob Butlers wife, Theresa, passed away today at the Hanover Hospital.  She was 64.  Can you get the information out to all the members.  He knows so many people in the St. Thomas area where they both grew up.

Theresa will be cremated and the first viewing will be at the Mighton Funeral Home in Hanover on Tuesday, Dec. 27 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m..  The Funeral will be held in Ayton on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at 11 a.m..  Another viewing will be held at the Williams Funeral Home in St. Thomas on Thursday , Dec. 29  from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m..

At this time of year especially this will be so hard for Bob and all of his family and our hearts go out to him.

It was asked at the general meeting during the 5 Day Ride that information regarding donations be posted on the site. At this time, the only way to do so is to send your cheque (made out to the Chesley Saddle Club) to treasurer Cathy Dibble at RR 2 Drumbo N0J 1G0.

If we move to an online membership administration system, we will be able to accept electronic payments online at that point.
