Old Business –
Parades – Light Horse group is now cancelled out of the Stampede Parade but
would like us to participate in other parades in the surrounding areas. Would
like all participants to be uniform – black shirts, stampede serapis, white hats.
They gave us a list of parades that they are planning on being in and have
invited us to join them. Discussion about the surrounding parades and the
CCHA group has agreed on the Crossfield parade on June 16 – vote held all were
in favor. The participants from our group in this parade are Gary & Irene,
Heather and no one else can be there for sure.
Shirts & Logo Discussion was held pertaining to a parade and event shirt – this shirt could
showcase us as a group and we could also use it in the booth at the grounds. All
were in agreement. Agreed to put the logo over the left front pocket approx 3 ½
inches in size. On the back of the shirt a script of Ride the Curl is to be
embroidered. Vote was held – unanimous. Chris volunteered to look into the
shirt supplier – color choice and sizes.
Stampede & Light Horse Pageant Scheduling
Chris reported that there is some confusion – but expects to get further updates.
She has provided our music and script to them for the pageant. The demo times
are not complete yet and are being tweaked, she will advise once she has been
advised. Chris is looking for dates from everyone as to the times when everyone
is available for the booth. We are to remember that all horses participating at the
grounds have to have their Coggins Test. Info from the Stampede Board is
forthcoming as Bio-security is heightened do to the scare from last year.

mind that we do own the domain and that Deanna has been looking after it for a
number of years and has been asking for content for everyone.

as there are new additions. Deanna has a digital copy and will share it with
Chris.

Phone List –
Started to compile information for our club phone list – only have 4 names at this

Protocols
Great discussion was held pertaining to this email discussion surrounding the
shirts that we had Dani Thomas looking after.
We agreed that we do need to have the availability to use the email system as a
form of getting info out to the members especially in circumstances such as this.
However, emails must be sent to all – not just to some. That is why it has been
determined that we need a list – so that all can receive pertinent information.
Heather has agreed to help put this together.
