Equestrian Australia Carriage Driving Committee Appointments announced for 2018/2019

Following the recent National Discipline Committee Elections, which took place as per the Equestrian Australia (EA) National Discipline Committee Appointment and Procedures Policy, EA is pleased to welcome Jackie Boyd and Jessica Meredith to the EA Carriage Driving Committee (EACDC). Christine Gibbons was also re-elected to the EACDC.

The appointments are for one term of two (2) years and are effective immediately. 

However, with these new appointments, we are saying goodbye to Dot Willcoxson and Lorraine Cairns, whose terms have expired. 

Both Dot and Lorraine have been on the EACDC for two years, during which time Dot has also held the position of Chair. Over the past two years, the EACDC has made great efforts to promote Carriage Driving and encourage new Drivers, including the recent introduction of the EA Carriage Driving Committee Funding Grant. This initiative helps support EA affiliated clubs to run events and workshops in the discipline of Driving and has been greatly received in its inaugural year.

EA would like to extend a sincere thank you to both Dot and Lorraine for their hard work and dedication to both the sport of Carriage Driving and the EACDC.

EA looks forward to hearing about the positive contributions to Carriage Driving we are sure they will continue to make, and hope to work with Dot and Lorraine again in the future.
