The 100 Mile Sliders held their second annual AGM this December. Although we had a smaller turn out than we had hoped for, we still had a great meeting and were able to elect our new executive for 2011, and start planning for the new year. Some of the highlights of the night inclued a slide show celebrating some of the club's successes, as well as a discussion around plans for this year including possible clinics and shows, as well as creating a member access to "Reining Training Online" a website with hundreds of reining training and related videos, and plans for a Sliders sponsored photo contest-more details to follow!! After the meeting some of us came to Bella's for appies and more talk. We are very excited about 2011!

OUR NEXT MEETING IS PLANNED FOR SATURDAY, JANUARY 15TH AT THE RED ROCK CAFE IN 100 MILE, AT 12:00. We will be discussing clinicians we want to bring to 100 Mile, setting dates and discussing our planned used tack sale at the 100 Mile Horse Bazaar.

President: Dawnna Monks
Vice President: Randy Broadaway
