Possible loss of Groton MA fairgrounds to equestrian use

[Sadiegem]

Great news! I just got the GPC email about the upcoming event so this is very timely.

Thank for keeping us informed. I can’t wait to bring my filly down next year. She visited her very first xc course earlier this week and learned all about jumps where you can see your shadow and how to cross water. By next spring we’ll be ready to be seen in public

Shameless plug for memberships and donations to continue improvements for Hazel Grove Agricultural Association aka “Groton Fairgrounds”.

We are maintaining it on a shoestring budget and could use some friendly support.

Thanks…

We have received some GREAT feedback about Hazel Grove Agricultural Association (HGAA) hgaa.org. You know who you are and we are taking it to heart and trying to identify things to do and how to do them. Keep it coming!!

We are planning a newsletter (we are slow, minimal people running it, summer vacations, etc.) but it’s coming!

We are planning 2 events:
Sept 14 a Derby Cross
Sept 28 2nd Annual Trail Ride and Versatility

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone is supporting HGAA with your memberships and donations!!! We haven’t (yet) put a good mechanism in place to recognize or even properly thank all of you kind, caring and supportive people who are basically keeping the Association going at this time. Your donations are keeping the place from being turned into playing fields.

(Note, I have nothing against playing fields! Just not where people currently ride).

Until we get our newsletter out and a better way to push communications, I will update this thread. (We do use Facebook as well).

Hopefully this link works.

Please PM comments, suggestions and anything else you want to make HGAA aware of (or send feedback using links in the newsletter).
