South Region Conference

The South Region will be holding a conference next year! It is going to be a very exciting day packed full of knowlege and a wonderful opportunity to make connections and build friendships between groups

Date – 21st April 2026

Location – Warbrook House Hotel, The Street, Hampshire, RG27 0PL

Timings – 9:30 am to 4 pm

Agenda – TBC, but we are currently working on an exciting, informative and inspirational adgenda that will include breaks for all food and drinks

Keep an eye out for more information! – but for now put it in your calendars!

The Windsor Lions arrange this event https://www.windsorlions.co.uk/sponsored-horseride every year and every year they very generously donate the proceeds from it to us!

Not directly ‘us’ as in ‘your group’, but ‘us’ as in the South Region and every year, the proceeds go towards funding all of our South Region First Aid Training.  This year, we have the added bonus of extra funds being allocated to us to support our South Region Conference (21^st April 2026 – save the date) next year.

They need volunteers to marshal the event, and it would be super helpful if you could offer your time to go along and support them.  It’s a wonderful event and your help would be greatly appreciated

It is on the 6^th and 7^th of September at Windsor Great Park and either day or both days are available for us to help.

If you can manage to spare some time for the event, then please email Diane at [email protected]
