Key Dates and Information from Wendy Hammerton

Dear Board, Delegates, Committees

1. Zoom Get Together: You are all invited to join a ZOOM “get together” with the Board on Monday 21st January at 7.30pm. Zoom is similar to Skype. You will need to download it to your device or desktop. You will be sent a link on Wednesday to log in but you will need to have installed the app. This will be an opportunity to ask any questions of Board members and we will be using the exercise as trial means of communication to test its potential for Dressage for the future. The duration will not more be than 30minutes
