Letter from the President

January - April 2009

Dear Members:

Our 2008 Year-End Finals for bulls and barrels will be Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20 at the Goshen Agricultural Society Fairgrounds, 116 Old Middle St., Goshen, CT. Our 2008 Year-End Finals for junior bulls will be Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13 at the Clarkson Horseman's Association Grounds, Clarkson, NY. Letters of invitation to the top 25 bull riders, the top 4 junior bull riders in each division, and the top 11 barrel racers will be sent out by the end of April. Please see Hittin' The Road for details.

Since expenses to HPBR have gone up this year, this will be the last hard copy of The Hardway Informer you will receive. In order to preserve funds for added money and prizes at the 2009 finals, all future issues will be available on our website. If you absolutely have no access to the website and need a hard copy, please include an extra $10 and a note indicating such and we will send you hard copies for this season.

Since the first event of the 2009 season immediately follows the finals, we ask that all 2009 membership applications be received in the office by May 15 to receive the $60 membership rate. After that date, the cost of a card will be $85. Starting this season, our rule book will be on the website. I encourage each of you to print it out and read it thoroughly. If you are unable to access the website, please send $5 to Darlene and she will send you a hard copy of the rule book.

We will continue co-sanctioning our events with Rawhide Rodeo Canada's Extreme Tour. Congratulations to Brandon Moore, who was the finals champion and Ian Charman, who was second in the average at their finals in December.

We have a very dedicated board of directors. Any one of us would like to talk with you about any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. Please feel free to contact any one of us. Let Darlene know if there are any injuries, marriages, births, or other events you would like acknowledged.


Sincerely yours,

 

Sam Swearingen, President
