Why join WSRC?
Our members of WSRC are keen to share their experiences and why they enjoy being part of the club. Chrstina Easton quotes "I have been a member of WSRC for 14 years and have loved it all that time. There are lots of events run for combinations lacking confidence, including inexpensive training. The people at these events are very friendly and supportive and we always have a lot of fun."
Sarah Orchard enjoys the team and competition side of the club. Sarah quotes "The teams are brilliant. Everyone is so supportive even when you and your horse don't see eye to eye and have an off day! I have achieved far more than I thought I would have the courage to do thanks to such a friendly and fun club."

BRC statement on membership relief for 2021 - WSRC response
Recently you may have seen a communication from BRC regarding their sudden decision to give each club a three month reduction on membership. This question came up at the WSRC AGM and we wanted to share the stance of the committee on this decision, and the history behind it. The Area 11 committee met with BRC HQ staff (including their Chairman), last November and discussed ongoing concerns over the increase to insurance and membership fees set by BRC for the year 2021 when all clubs had suffered from a loss of income from membership and events due to COVID. The result was that the increases would happen and that there were no plans to provide any relief to the clubs nationally. So all clubs went ahead and set up membership rates for the new year and commenced their membership drives. As we had some reserves from 2020 we took the decision to put in some reductions to membership and incentives which we would absorb the cost of to enable us to hold on to our membership - if not try and increase it - at the start of what we knew would be another difficult year. We then received an email from HQ, one hour before the national facebook post, informing us of their generous decision to provide a three month reprieve to each club on membership.
We want to draw your attention to the following paragraph within the statement:How you choose to account for the membership fee reduction is entirely up to your club; of course, you may choose to pass this saving on to your members as a reduction to the club membership fee. Should you wish to do this, it will equate to £4 per person. We will be issuing an update to all members, informing them of this news and advising them that it will be up to clubs to decide how best to manage this financial relief.
West Surrey has already had 40% of its annual membership take up re-join for the year 2021. Many of whom took advantage of the ‘renewal saving and/or the refer a friend scheme’ and have already had significant savings or incentives at a cost to the club. Although this gesture of good will from HQ is wholly appreciated by us and other clubs, it comes at a time where membership is already ongoing and poses issues for us in instigating a further saving on our plans. Therefore, as a club we will use this money to recoup the budget impacted from our renewal incentives AND to reinvest into the club in other ways to benefit us all further on in the year when we hope that we will return to some normality with clinics and competitions. It is our complete intention that this should benefit as many of you as possible later on in the year – for now the committee are happy that we already offer significant savings on membership, particularly compared to other Area 11 clubs. If however, any member feels really strongly about this issue they should contact the Chairman (Julie Johnson) and Membership secretary (Liz Crossan) directly. (contact details on the website or reply to this email).
