Show Affiliation 2022 available online
Dear Show Secretaries,
I would like to draw your attention to our show affiliation process for 2022, we have a new simple online format at www.itsplainsailing.com/org/
We ask that if you are running a side saddle class that you would affiliate it to our club so that our members may gain points towards our annual awards. Any members that compete in our affiliated classes are also covered by our own club insurance which we renew every year.
When we receive your affiliation form and fee we will advertise your classes on our busy facebook page and on our website www.ssaireland.com and we will post your rosettes to you.
If you have any questions at all please send me a text on 0872266321 and I will phone you back as quickly as possible to give you any help I can.
Best wishes and good luck with your show,
Kind Regards,
Ciara O’Connell
