Changes to Dales Pony Society Administration from 1st July 2023

Important – Please Read Carefully

As the last step in our transitional change to Society Officials following the retirement of long-standing Secretary Jo Ashby and Treasurer Ian Graham, the Society are bringing the secretarial work currently handled by Pedigree Livestock Services back in-house. From 1st July, our Honorary Secretary, April Lawn (née Hughes), will be taking over all aspects of secretarial work currently covered by PLS, including pony registrations, transfers, changes to passports and Society memberships. 

We would like to thank Andy Ryder and his team at Pedigree Livestock Services Ltd. for their work over the last two years, in particular Lucie Graham whom many of you will have liaised with. The Society office at Holme House, Carlisle, will close on 30th June. 

For further information and contact details for April, please see the Secretary Change Notification Flyer.
