Equestrian NSW Board Announcement

At its postponed Annual General Meeting last night, Equestrian NSW elected Alex Townsend, David Lawrence and Peter Dingwall to the Board for two years.

Judy Fasher, President of Equestrian NSW, said that she was delighted to welcome Peter Dingwall onto the Board.  “Peter is a Magistrate, President of ACT Show Jumping Club, was Chef D’Equipe for the Australian Show Jumping Team in Korea in 2008 and has served on the ACT Rugby Union Judiciary, so will bring his wealth of legal and sports administration experience to the Board” Judy said.

In announcing the results, Judy Fasher, supported by the Board, paid tribute to Michel Benson who was unsuccessful in his bid for re-election.  “Michael has served Equestrian NSW and the wider equestrian community for many years, as a Board member, supporter, owner and enthusiast.  His detailed financial knowledge and commitment to secure and protect our finances was highly regarded and much appreciated.  The strong financial position that Equestrian NSW enjoys today is due in large part to Michael’s stewardship.  His first priority has always been dressage, but this never compromised his passion and support for all equestrian sports.  We wish him well for the future”.
