BDSC Ball 2009
 
 
 
 
 
If you represented Great Britain in 2008 or took part in the Senior or BYRDS Home Internationals but were unable to attend our Ball on 24 January you can have your certificate sent to you.
Cathy has sent out over 400 letters to those entitled to a certificate and below is a selection of nice letters from some of those who were unable to attend:
 
 
Dear Ms Wright
Thank you for the invitation for the invitation to the BDSC ball, unfortunately I will not be able to come this year.
It would be super to receive the certificate as a memento of an occasion which was pretty special.
You have my details correct: ALISON PAYNE (The Hand Home International). I had a great year with my Welsh part-bred who not only took me dressage-ing but also eventing, so it would have been great to top this off with the ball.
With best wishes for the New Year
Alison Payne
 
Dear Cathy
Please find enclosed my SAE for certificates from BDSC – thank you very much! The spelling of my name you had correct. It is CORINNE McNAMARA and yes I rode at The Hand. Also can you send me Alex’s certificate. He rode at Bischwiller CPED12* and Hartpury CPED13*. His spelling is Alex McNamara.
 
Dear Cathy
Thank you for your kind letter re a BDSC award certificate. What a lovely surprise! Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the Annual Dinner on 24 January. I have enclosed a SAE though please for the certificate.
Many thanks and best wishes
Sara-Jane Lanning
P.S. Spelling for my name is Sara-Jane Lanning and yes it was the Hand Home International.
 
Dear Cathy
Please find enclosed SAE as requested in your recent letter. Thank you very much for organising and distributing the certificates. It is an honour to be asked to represent your region and even more exciting to get a certificate as well!

Dear Cathy
I am sorry I will be unable to attend the BDSC annual dinner but have enclosed large A4 SAE for the certificate. Many thanks for all your hard work
Yours sincerely

Dear Cathy
Please find enclosed SAE for certificate for Becky Bone, the name to be written on the certificate for recognition to ride for a team during 2008.
I regret that we are unable to have a table this year at the BDSC ball as we will be away for that time, we all had a fantastic time last year and I am sure it will be a great success again. We look forward to 2010’s ball.
Many thanks and look forward to receiving Becky’s certificate.
Yours sincerely
Sheila Bone
 
Dear Cathy
Thank you for your letter regarding the BDSC Award Certificates for 2008. Unfortunately I am unable to attend the ceremony but have enclosed a SAE so that you can send it to me. You may notice that the address is different; this is because I don’t want my puppy to get hold of it and chew it!
Thank you and BDSC for this award, it was very unexpected.
Yours sincerely
Christopher Charles
 
Dear Cathy
Thank you very much for letting us know that Emma and Philippa have been awarded BDSC certificates. I can confirm that the competitions are correct and that you have the correct spelling of their names now which are EMMA, PHILIPPA.
Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the Dinner Dance on 24 January but I enclose a SAE so that they can receive their certificates.
Can I thank you for your continued support of the young people within BD. Emma has won a couple of training grants now at talent spotting and it does encourage them to work harder at their sport.
Thank you
Yours sincerely

Dear Cathy
Thank you for your letter regarding the BDSC award certificates. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the award ceremony this year. I have enclosed an SAE as requested so that my certificate may be forwarded to me. I would like to thank the BDSC for all their support of BYRDS which has given me valuable training and competition opportunities over the past year.
Kind regards

Dear Cathy
What a lovely surprise and honour to receive your letter a few days ago informing me that I had been awarded a certificate in recognition of representing the Central Region at the Home International in October 2008. Unfortunately I am unable to attend your Annual Dinner on the 24th as I am visiting my step-daughter who has just had a baby in Kenya!
May I take this opportunity to thank the British Dressage Supporters Club so very much for this certificate, and I really hope that I may be able to represent Central Team and England again in 2009!
To confirm my details: I rode at The Hand Home International in October 2008 as an individual at Advanced Medium riding Magic Moment.
Again, very many thanks and a happy new year to you.
Yours sincerely
Roseanne FitzGerald
 
Dear Cathy
Please find enclosed an SAE for Franziska’s certificate. She is so excited about it. Her name should read Franziska Goess-Saurau.
We will certainly look out for the Supporters Club tent during the season.
Once again thank you for all of your help. I hope you have a fantastic evening and hopefully we can make it next year.
Very best wishes
Susie Goess-Saurau
 
Dear Cathy
Thank you very much for your letter informing me of the award of a certificate from the BDSC. It was a very pleasant surprise!
I can confirm that the event shown (The Hand Home International) is correct. The name on the certificate should be:
Moira Richardson
I am unable to attend the dinner dance but am enclosing the requisite SAE for the certificate to be sent to me.
Many tanks for the recognition from BDSC/
Kind regards
Moira
 
Dear Cathy
Many thanks for your recent letter informing me that I have been awarded a certificate by the BDSC for representing my region (Central) at the Sheepgate U25’s National Championships for which I am absolutely thrilled
Unfortunately your letter has only just arrived, although it was dated 21 December 2008! Presumably must have got lost in the build up to Christmas so sadly I was unable to attend the BDSC Annual dinner in January!
Despite this mishap I would dearly love to receive my certificate and would be very grateful if you cold forward it in the enclosed pre-paid envelope.
I hope to be selected to represent BYRDS Central in 2009 so hopefully will get the chance to attend the BDSC dinner next year with a bit of luck!
Many thanks
Georgia Francis
 
Dear Cathy
Thank you so much for your letter re the BDSC Supporters ball and awards. Unfortunately I cannot attend the ball.
If you could post the certificate to me (SAE enclosed). 
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Thank you letters from some of those who were able to attend the ball:
 
From our Founder Jane Wykeham-Musgrave
Dear Penny
What a wonderful evening. Every year seems just better than the last. You and your committee members really do excel themselves. Thank you so much for including me and producing such superb hospitality – quite apart from a heart-warming welcome. I really enjoyed the evening.
I hope you were pleased with the result. It was splendid being given 2 x £1000 Chelsea shirts. The auction must have made about £4000 over and above the raffle. BRILLIANT!
Considering recession the members seemed to have held up very well. I really do congratulate you on your incredible effort.
Many thanks again
With all my love from
Jane

Dear Penny and Committee
Just a quick note to tell you we had a most fabulous evening at the Ball on Saturday. It was our first year as members of BDSC and we were made to feel most welcome. The evening was very entertaining as a participant and spectator with the games providing a welcome informality to the occasion.
My daughter was thrilled with her certificate and pleased to join with many of the people she competes against but has never really met properly.
Please extend my thanks to all the committee for such an enjoyable evening.
Yours sincerely
Tracey and Chloe Vell
 
Dear Penny
Kate and  I would like to say a huge thank you for the invites to the BDSC ball last week. We had a wonderful time and it was so lovely to see so many people.
I hope you had a good time and have recovered from organising such a good evening?!
Hope to see you soon
Kelvin and Kate
 
Dear Penny
Just to say thank you so much for a great evening at the BDSC ball. We were very proud to see Chloe receive her certificate and then went on to have a very jolly time indeed!
Please pass my thanks to the committee and well done for all your hard work!
Best wishes
Heather
