About Us
One of Cwm Derwen Riding Club's main aims when starting the club
back in 2002 was to re-introduce people to the saddle, especially
those mums and dads, whose children have grown out of their horses,
gone to university or even left home and are now left looking after
them!. As well as providing a relaxed atmosphere for people to
learn, have fun and meet like minded people.
The objectives of the BRC
movement are:
* To assist and encourage
those interested in the horse
* To improve and maintain
the standard of horsemanship
* To improve the welfare
of the horse
British Riding Clubs (BRC)
is governed by a democratically elected National Executive
Committee (NEC) who meet up to four times each year. The NEC
assists BRC office staff and advise on BRC policies.For
administration purposes, BRC divides the UK into 23 areas. Each of
these BRC areas elects a National Representative, who sits on the
NEC. NEC members serve for terms of three years.
The Chairman and Vice-Chairman's terms of office run for two years.
A representative from the NEC also sits on the BHS Board of
Trustees. Three sub-committees also form part of the NEC. These are
the Competitions Committee, Marketing Committee and Training
Committee.The BHS Board of Trustees is legally responsible for BRC
finances. The British Equestrian Federation (BEF) also represents
BRC.
BRC is administered by a
team of staff based at the BHS headquarters in Stoneleigh,
Warwickshire. There is also a large volunteer network across the
UK, without whose valuable assistance it would not be possible to
run the vast number of local, area and national competitions
available to BRC members.
