Amateur Committee Vice President Carol Elliott Mobile: 0419 911 273 Email: laketyrell@ gmail.com Hi Fellow Team Members, We are very proud of our Amateur Division Logo. All letters, surveys and general communications will have this logo displayed. Our Amateur Committee for 2017/2018 is Carol Ahern (Tas), Carol Elliott (Vic), Jade Thomas- Spicer (Vic), Yasmin Lee-Steere (Vic), Rebecca Fatchen (SA), Jodie Jakubenko (QLD), Carla Cox (SA) and Leonie Gorski (Vic). AQHA Amateur Division Clinics for NSW and Victoria: A link to the "Survey Monkey" will be sent regarding these upcoming Clinics. Amateurs must fill in the Survey to reserve their riding position at the Clinics. Only Amateurs that have given permission for their email address to be accessed will receive the link. Amateurs that do not have an email address will need to access the information from the AQHA Facebook page. Only Financial AQHA Amateur members will receive correspondence, please ensure you renew your membership, to avoid any disappointment. This ensures all members receive the information at the exact same time and Riders responses are recorded on an independent timeline. I suggest all Amateur members ensure the AQHA have permission to use their email address and check that your address is correct. The Amateur Division Business Plan has been submitted. Our direction for the 2017/2018 Year was communicated to the Committee via the Survey that was completed by Amateurs earlier in the year. We are planning to complete Clinics in Victoria, NSW and QLD. We are developing a ‘Welcome Pack’ for new Amateur Division Members.
