The Association of Irish Riding Clubs (AIRC) would like to extend a huge thank you to Kate’s Tack Shop for their very kind sponsorship of prizes in recognition of our volunteers who helped out across our championships this year.

The generous prizes were entered into a draw for those who volunteered at the Riding Clubs Festival, National Show Jumping Championships, National Dressage Championships, National Eventing Championships and National Hunter Trials Championships.

The draw took place earlier today at National Office, and we are delighted to announce our three lucky winners!

Congratulations to our winners:

• Sophie Byrne – Warrington Riding Club

• Diane Baylis – Tynagh Riding Club
  Prize: Gallop Lightweight Turnout Rug
• Lisa O’Neill – Thomastown & District Riding Club
  Prize: John Whitaker Bridle Bag
• Damien McCormack – Tara Hill Riding Club
  Prize: Numnah

AIRC Chairman Chris Carter said:

“Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at the AIRC, and our championships simply would not be possible without their time, commitment and hard work. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who gives up their time to help make our events a success. I would also like to thank Kate’s Tack Shop for their generous sponsorship and for helping us recognise and reward our fantastic volunteers.”

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered throughout the year. Our championships simply could not run without the time, effort and dedication of our volunteers, and we are incredibly grateful for all your support.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Kate’s Tack Shop for sponsoring these fantastic prizes for our overall volunteer draw, and to Premier Performance for generously sponsoring prizes for volunteers at each individual championship throughout the year.

The support of both sponsors is greatly appreciated and helps us recognise the invaluable contribution our volunteers make to the AIRC.

Thank you for helping make our championships a success!
