Resignation : Deanna Ramsay

After 17 years of continuous service Deanna Ramsay will be stepping down from her assorted volunteer positions with OCTRA effective the end of September.

Deanna has been awarded the Prince Caleb trophy on multiple occasions for her outstanding contributions. She currently serves as co-chair of the veterinary committee, designs and manages all of OCTRA’s databases, enters and compiles horse and ride points, and is the webmaster for our website performing both design and administrative jobs. Deanna’s contributions will be missed by all OCTRA members.

The board of directors sincerely thanks Deanna for her steadfast support. And while we regret her leaving we also understand that there are limits to everyone’s contributions; everyone needs a break.

Additionally, I would like to express my personal thanks to Deanna for all the help she has provided as I’ve attempted to navigate the position known as president.

All the best Deanna.

Doug Price
OCTRA President
(on behalf of the entire Board of Directors)

CTR PC QUALIFICATIONS – TAY VALLEY RULE BOOK AMENDMENT 2016 ONLY

CTR PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
A request to waive the Rule Book CTR PC Qualifications for the 2016 CTR PCs only was put forward by the Ride Manager, Elaine Steele.  Elaine has requested some leeway with regard to these qualifications as there have been limited CTR events over the past two years, although the discipline is currently experiencing an increase in popularity. Elaine stressed that she did not want a permanent Rule Book change, just a softening of the rule for this year only.

CURRENT RULE:

A2.2. a) 
The horse and rider separately or as a team – must have successfully completed 240km (150 miles) within the 2 preceding calendar years and that period of the current year prior to the closing of entries for the Provincial Championship Event, with at least 80km (50 miles) from competitive rides sanctioned by OCTRA or other organizations recognized by OCTRA.

The Board agreed that it was in the best interest of the event, as well as members wishing to participate in this event, to allow for a rule amendment for this year onlyAs this is not a rule change, neither an AGM resolution nor an evote is required.

ONE TIME AMENDMENT (Tay Valley – 2016):

Amendment to A2.2 a)

The horse and rider separately or as a team – must have successfully completed 240km (150 miles) within the 2 preceding calendar years and that period of the current year prior to the closing of entries for the Provincial Championship Event, with at least 80km (50 miles) from competitive rides or at least one ride over the past two years from any OCTRA discipline equal or greater than 40 km (25 miles) or 2 rides of at least 40km (25mi) over two consecutive days sanctioned by OCTRA or other organizations recognized by OCTRA.
