© David Loftus easy peasmethodWhether you are using fresh or frozen peas, for 4 people you need to put 4 good handfuls of peas into a wide frying pan or casserole-type pan which has a lid (or you can use tinfoil), with ˝ a wineglass of white wine, ˝ a wineglass of water and 2 good knobs of butter. Place the lid on top and bring to the boil, then remove the lid and simmer for a minute or two while you finely slice a handful of mint leaves. With this reasonably small amount of liquid, the butter and wine should form a fantastically simple sauce. Throw in the mint at the last minute and serve straight away. Don't forget that it only takes a handful of grated Parmesan cheese and some cooked tagliatelle to turn these peas into a wonderful pasta dish. Or you can add them to a risotto, or whizz them up with some chicken stock to make a fine pea soup. |

In the table below are the references to the release notes of the IT Management Suite 7.0 MR releases:
The "Symantec Management Platform MR4" was release to SolutionSam yesterday via an update of the Symantec.pl.xml files [1].
This SMP MR4 comes on top of the current SMP SP5 release and includes numerous fixes provided in HOWTO36013 (the SP5 pointfix rollup).
Here are some important information's on the file itself:
Using CreateSolnSamMirror [2] we can see the changes in the package repository with a new addition of 7 directories and 75 files.
Note that the extracts below are extracted from the pl.xml file itself, and that the package files extensions are appended the "_info" to avoid any confusion with the real files (the _info files actually contain the file name, file hash (SHA256 used in SIM) the file size and full url).

Issue: Proxy Authentication for a first time SIM install
I currently work in an environment with a proxy server where authentication via user id and password are required. For this initial 7.1 install, I had configured the proxy in IE and ensured I could connect to the Internet prior to downloading and running the SIM install. For further information, I had already installed and configured SQL, so if you're trying to use the option to install SQL Express via the SIM process this may not work for you.
However, after the SIM installation, any further steps would fail, and I would get a HTTP: 407 Proxy Authentication Error. I wasn't even able to get to the SIM configuration screen to configure the proxy.

Hi everyone,
My name is Luciana. I'm from Brazil and I'm a teacher at a public school. I love what I do and I'm looking forward to starting this course, I haven't been studying lately, but as I've started a post-graduating course in school management and I'm working on Computer Assisted Collaborative Learning(CSCL), I thought this course would be perfect to help me with my studies and at work, too.
Well, that's all for awhile.

EdinburghGreat place for your special celebrations.
We have stayed at Toftcombs for the past two years and had a fantastic stay with our group of friends. The owners make you very welcome and the house is excellent.
Bill Wingate
Maybole, South AyrshireGolden Wedding Celebrations at Toftcombs House
The service we recieved from start to finish was excellent. The only down side was an overnight problem with part of the central heating system which was rectfied the next afternoon. That type of problem could happen to any system.
Toftcombs fitted our size of party, 17 and 2 small children, very well. The Dinning Hall with its long table was able to accommodate everybody at the same time, which was unique. The snooker room with its full size table was an immediate attraction for the men. The open fires were a bonus and gave off good heat. The smaller of the 2 lounges was great for the children to be able to watch their Dvds etc.
The kitchen area was massive and very well equipped even down to achoice of gas cooker or an aga which was great for those that wanted a cooked breakfast at various times. One of our party was a professional Chef and was able to produce a remarkable celebration dinner.
The area was very convenient being in walking distance of the local town of Biggar. We were luck with the weather but we would not have been bored if the heavens had opened.
At one time this property had been a lived in family home and that came across well and was what I liked best. The only downn side was having to leave. My 4 1/2 yr old grandson did not want to leave,
YorkshireFantastic location and house
We recently rented Toftcombs house for a family celebration. It was just perfect from the sunshine on arrival & Claire's helpfulness to the suitability for all ages of the house. Our dogs came too and they were home from home in front of the aga.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a large house, close to amenities with the scale to accomodate all ages. -
LondonAmazing weekend!
I found this property online, and it turned out to be the perfect location for my brother's upmarket stag weekend - and it would certainly work for similar events, or family get-togethers etc.
Toftcombs is a luxury 11-bedroom mansion in the Scottish countryside, furnished with beautiful antiques, with two huge kitchens, several reception rooms and dining rooms, and more bathrooms than I could count! The photos on the website really didn't do this property justice - there is a real old-world elegance in every room.
Claire, the owner, met us to check us in and give us a quick tour of the property, which was very kind of her. We were then left to our own devices for the weekend, as we were self-catering (though catering is available if desired). Everything ran seamlessly, and the owner helped us contact local companies to arrange various activities, including archery on the lawn, which was excellent. Edinburgh is only 40mins taxi away for people wanting a night in the city. Biggar is a small village 5 minutes walk away, which has several supermarkets, local stores and pubs. Despite this, you really feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, which is a lovely feeling!
I could not recommend this property highly enough - we all had an incredbile weekend, and will certainly be back again. -
GlasgowA truly luxurious, yet cosy house, exceeded all expectations!
A wonderful house, fit for any special occassion! We felt very regal and loved every second of our stay! We could not wish for anything else, the house provided everything and more! Very clean and wonderfully decorated! I will be back for sure!
GlasgowA fabulous girls weekend away!
We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the luxurious Toftcombs Mansion. The house is fabulously decorated yet homely. The Butler Isaac was a much appreciated addition to our stay and he couldn't have been more helpful or professional. I would thoroughly reccommend staying here be it for business or pleasure. I can't wait for the next occasion to book time at Toftcombs!
Maria & 9 Others
Perth, AustraliaAn holiday experience that exceeded all expectations!
After many months of research and then the many months of planning for our week our Toftcombs we couldn't have been more over-awed and over-joyed at our wonderful home for the week! From the minute we arrived we knew we'd picked the perfect place, complete with elegance, comfort and every convenience we could possibly need. So much thought has been put into setting the House up, with so many special touches.
From the beginning Claire couldn't have been more helpful, promptly answering question after question. So even though we were liaising across many miles - Australia to Scotland - she made it easy.
There were recommendations for delivery of food for our first night, grocery ordering, butler service for a formal dinner at Toftcombs. Every recommendation was spot on!
Claire ended up having to wait longer than expected for the first of our group to arrive - which was very much appreciated.
Anyone staying at Toftcombs would be blown away by the experience as we were. Very highly recommended!
Thanks so much Claire!! -
Alastair Spurr
BathA wonderful venue
I fully and wholeheartedly recommend Toftcombs. The house and grounds are superb and the internet pictures, whilst great, do not do the property justice.
Anyone wishing to play the Laird for a while should look no further.
The owner and staff provide a wonderful stress free process for booking, checkin & checkout - all truly professional. -
Tom Bennett
LeedsSuperb stay in the wonderful Toftcombs
This house is incredible and in excellent condition. Often houses like this are clean but a little run down but the entire Toftcombs accommodation was in excellent first rate condition. Everyone had a tremendous time during our stay. Claire and her mother Diane were very organised and a pleasure to deal with, thanks very much.
Regina Young
Jacksonville, Florida, USAMost Amazing Family Trip Ever...
My husband and I, with our 2 boys (ages 9 and 11), spent several days at Toftcombs House last summer. Toftcombs looked beautiful in pictures but, honestly, pictures did not do it justice! I would descibe this "castle" (as my kids call it) as understated elegance - so tastefully decorated with beautiful furnishings and wonderful, original paintings. Yet, despite its elegance, Toftcombs could not have been more comfortable and inviting. It is located in a countryside setting that will take your breath away. I will always remember our boys learning to play cricket, rugby and "football" on the beautiful fields in front of the house with the horses, sheep and green hills in the background. Thank you Andertons for the most amazing trip ever!
LichfieldExcellent House, Fantastic Service
Dealing with the owner was a pleasure, she was polite, very helpful, and extremely response to all my requests. Upon arrival all my quests commented on how beautiful the house was and what a great garden and view the property had.
The first evening we found the house became floodlit after 8pm which was wonderful. Our 1st nights evening meal was enhanced by being able to light a real fire in the front dinning room.
Over the weekend we found the house and accomodation to be of a high standard and many of our party expressed a strong interest to return. I feel happy to have found and picked such a wonderful property to stay in. The fact that my quests wanted to retiurn also speaks volumes for the quality and ambiance of this property.
Many thanks, I will be visiting again:)
House parties live
Edinburgh/LondonA comfortable and theatrical house
We've used the house on two occasions to run a house-party style corporate course and are returning for a third visit. It's very peaceful and comfortable with lots of good spaces for meetings. There's also a great theatricality to the house with its links with Glasdstone, the galleried hall, the billiards room and the interesting artwork all around. Particularly good for a creative gathering.
Rental and back up service has always been painless. -
Peter & Kathy Smith with friends
BirminghamBeyond expectations!
'A Luxury Country Mansion' is certainly an accurate description for this property.I go away twice a year in the UK together with my wife and seven other couples,staying in large self catering country houses around the country.I would rate Toftcombs as one of the best,if not the best.It is a very comfortable house,well furnished and equipped, with plenty of space. I imagine the owners use the house themselves as it has that'lived in'feel and everything you need is to hand, which is unusual in self catering properties.You are certainly aware of the owners attention to detail.It is well placed for touring and is only 45 minutes from Edinburgh and Glasgow.If you are looking for a relaxing break and want to spoil yourselves Toftcombs is for you -you will not be disappointed.
Jane Bambridge
A lovely family house.Great facilities and wonderful location. Will stay there again.
Toftcombs Fan
Ponte Vedra Beach, FlordiaSimply the best...
experience you can have without actually living in Scotland on a permanent basis. The large home was immaculate yet warm and cozy. Recommend a morning jog from the house to Skirling and back with day trips by car to visit the many castles and coastlines. Simply beautiful!
HertfordshireAn amazing house!
Everything was perfect. The photos are great,but they don't do Toftcombs
justice. This means that there is a "wow" factor as you come up the drive, and
again as you go around the house. The facilities were excellent, and it felt like
like staying in someone's home( albeit a grand home ! )-you could relax
straight away.
We had a local chef provide a casual meal for our first evening, soup and
homemade bread for lunch, and canapes and a formal four course dinner on
the Saturday night,all for 20 people. All the food was excellent.
The location is good. As we were only there for 2 nights, we did not see much.
Nobody wanted to leave at the end, and I would love to go again. -
Houston, Renfrewshire40th Birthday Party
An excellent property to share with friends and family.
Well organised with a friendly helpful owner and staff.
Well equipped kitchen for dinning and dinner parties.
It is a short walk to the village where you can stock up with supplies.
There are some great walks within a short drive i.e. Tinto hill.
We hosted an excellent 40th Birthday party for my wife which my fiends and family still talk about, especially the location.

Postponement of submission deadlines
Due to other engagements, I didn't get to check all the SDDs.
I hope to finish checking them in the next couple of days,
and to personally respond to each group by email.
Due to this delay,
all the coming deadlines (described in FirstLecture.ppt) are postponed in a week
Last updated on 17/5/2004, 15:38:06
Some Guidelines for your Second Report
Remember you have to submit the Software Design Document (SDD) until May 3.
This SDD should include a description of the structure of the software you are going to implement, meaning:
description of the classes, functions, parameters etc.
Do it good and you will make your life easy in the implementation stage !!
The report of the Integrators is now available in the course's web site, under 'course material'.
Read it and look for the part that is relevant for you.
In your SDD you have to fit your design exactly to the definitions of the Integrators.
You have to define exactly the parameters you need as input to your module:
- define exactly a 'struct' datatype that includes all the needed parameters.
- for each parameter, give it a 'name for display' (the name that will appear in the main user-interface of the system),
the range of values it can be set to, and its default value.
If you think you can't fit yourself inside the integrator's design, let me know ASAP,
because the integrators are starting their implementation already.
Good Luck.

First Reports Checked
1)The first reports are checked and graded.
Come and take them to discuss our remarks.
Try finding us in our offices (we are usually there in conventional working hours)
or coordinate by email.
2)Remember you have to submit the software design document until May 3.
More details on its content will be announced in a day or two.

Reminder - First Submission - April 15
This is to remind you that on April 15 you have to submit the report of your 'theoretic stage'.
This report should include:
1)A summary of the algorithms you are going to use.
Don't just copy equations from the paper you got. Write the algorithm in 'your words'. Be sure you understand everything now.
This paper is mostly for you to use as input to the next stages (software design,implementation and integration).
2)A listing of the input and output parameters for your part.
This is the time to think about all possible parameters, even those that you think are not important.
When I will check the report I will maybe eliminate the non important ones, but having too much parameters
will not make you loose points in the report's grade.
3)How do you plan to test your software.
4)How do you plan to demonstrate/display your results.
For those of you who didn't come to ask questions:
You have only until Sunday. I will not be here on Passover.
So send Me/Micha email to set a meeting ASAP.
Reminder for the integrators: you have to submit the software design at April 15
Good Luck

Looking Beyond the P/E
Stephen is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On 11 July 2011, I made what may be one of my dumbest CAPS calls: I predicted that Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) would underperform the market. I won't say it was a bad call based on the fact that Whole Foods has since outperformed by 34%. I will say it was a bad call because it was based on one simple metric: the P/E.
What is Overpriced?
For many of us, the P/E is the first metric we learn about in stock investing. It's our first opportunity to feel intelligent about investing, to use the lingo. We rely on it, we love it! Sometimes you can be blinded by love, and I ignored every other piece of conventional wisdom about investing when I decided Whole Foods was overpriced in July 2011 because it's P/E was around 34. To conclude, this meant Whole Foods was overpriced, I compared this to the P/E of other supermarket companies: The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), and Safeway Inc. (NYSE: SWY).
My thorough analysis ended there. Overpriced, right?
Maybe I'll Take Another Look
"If you stay half-alert, you can pick the spectacular performers right from your place of business or out of the neighborhood shopping mall.." - Peter Lynch from One Up on Wall Street
In my case, I wasn't half-alert every Sunday morning when my wife and I buy groceries at Whole Foods. Yep, I shop there! I have firsthand knowledge of how expensive it is, how busy it always seems to be, the type of people who shop there, and the quailty of the shopping experience. I know that several years ago I never heard of the company and how it's a household name today. The market research I had unknowingly conducted on Whole Foods over the years would have pointed towards a strong company still at the early stages of a great growth story. Instead, I chose to rely on a metric over personal experience.
Another good idea would have been to compare these companies using some other metrics. Here's a quick table I put together using the most recent filings that would have been available to me in July 2011.
It's starting to become clear why Whole Foods was trading at a higher premium than Kroger and Safeway. To be honest I really didn't even need to refer to the filings. It's fairly intuitive to think Whole Foods would have higher margins and stronger growth rates than Kroger and Safeway. It's not even entirely fair to compare these companies as apples to apples. Whole Foods caters to a customer base with more disposable income and who place a premium on the quality and ethicality of their food. Over the last year I've heard or read dozens of stories detailing the continued success of higher-end retail despite the poor economy. It stood to reason Whole Foods would fall in this category as well.
Lesson Learned
I'm not going to beat myself up over making a CAPS call that turned out wrong. That's one of the things I love about CAPS. It's an easy tool to test out investing ideas and strategies without risk. I use CAPS to gauge the reliability of some stock screens I come up with, to test 'word of mouth' investing ideas, and sometimes to simply judge a stock based on a single metric like the P/E. What's important is that I periodically review the performance of my selections and look for lessons to be learned from my failures and successes. My CAPS call for Whole Foods taught me to look beyond the P/E ratio.
Have you made an investing decision based on a single metric or piece of information? Did it bite you in the end or did it pay off big? Leave a comment below.

Digital Learning Spaces: Lessons from the MSc in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh
Digital Learning Spaces:
Lessons from the MSc in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh
Jen Ross, University of Edinburgh
Monday, April 15
Noon – 1:30 PM
Seattle Pacific University Library Seminar Room
Register: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/digitalspaces
Every course design is philosophy and belief in action. This is no less true – indeed it may be truer – in courses with a significant digital dimension. Online courses can be designed to invite particular kinds of participation, to take particular sorts of approaches to knowledge. But, like the physical classroom, they do more than embody the pedagogical values of the teacher – they are also greatly affected by the nature of the environments in which teaching and learning take place. In this talk, Jen will reflect on the experiences of teachers and students on the wholly distance MSc in E-learning programme, exploring issues such as how being at but not in Edinburgh affects students and how the values and educational philosophies of teachers on the programme impact, and are impacted by, the learning spaces they use and create.
Jen is the programme director of the fully online MSc in Digital Education programme at the University of Edinburgh, co-author of the Manifesto for Teaching Online, and co-organiser of the Coursera MOOC "E-learning and Digital Cultures". Her teaching and research concerns digital education now and in the future, online identity, and how cultural and educational institutions are changing in the digital age. The evolving meaning of space and place is one of the most interesting topics in digital and distance learning at the moment, and Jen's visit to SPU will focus on these and other issues relating to a broader theme of active learning spaces.

First EdCamp Seattle Scheduled for November 17, 2012!
Educators are lifelong learners who continually look for ways to improve their craft. National and regional conferences can be good sources for new information but can be expensive and time consuming.
Enter EdCamp, a group of "unconferences" held across the country throughout the year, putting educators in control of their own learning. EdCamps have been held for three years, and the first Seattle EdCamp will be on November 17, 2012.
In an unconference, attendees brainstorm their interests and needs to make a giant Post-It note schedule of the day's sessions. Speakers may have a presentation prepared, or volunteers facilitate the conversations so learning happens organically.
Seattle's EdCamp is free to all attendees, but organizers ask that teachers add their name to a Google Form on the EdCamp website. Educators at all levels are welcome to join the conversations at EdCamp Seattle, held on the campus of Seattle Pacific University.
For more information, visit www.edcampseattle.org. Follow us on Twitter as @EdCampSeattle.

Successors to the Vic's Crown?
Sliding past the end cones, lights flashing and siren wailing, I laughed to myself "there oughta be a law."
Had we been on public property, I'm sure there would have been several, but since we were on a closed course, with the full blessings of the local constabulary, it was all in a day's work. And today, that entailed flogging the new Ford Police Interceptor Sedan and Police Interceptor Utility to get a taste of how they'd fulfill the needs of a law enforcement workday. The departure of the venerable Ford Crown Victoria, long the stealthy symbol of law and order, has left a large empty space on many forces – its loyal fans lamenting the inability of any of its potential replacements to fill that long-held role. But Ford is banking that a pair of all-new pursuit-rated Interceptors will be the natural successors to the Crown Vic's legacy. In their favour – the Ford badge and compatibility will make it easy to swap over various components from the old Crown Vic – a definite plus for the bean counters. And in a huge departure from tradition – the new Interceptors, a sedan based on the Ford Taurus, and an Explorer-based utility vehicle – are powered by frugal V6 engines and offer all-wheel-drive capability. It will be difficult to overcome the fierce loyalty most law officers have for the rear-wheel-drive, big V8 platform. Using input from a special Police Advisory Board made up of 24 law enforcement professionals across North America, Ford purpose-built the new Interceptors to their specifications, in the hopes of continuing the Crown Vic's legacy. Both sedan and utility share the same platform and identical cabin layout to make switching from one vehicle to the other as seamless as possible. Heavy-duty steel safety cells and extra bracing create an ultra-stiff body that can withstand rear-end crashes up to 120 km/h. Not only are the door panels bulletproof, but the seatbacks have been reinforced with stab-proof steel. There's a bit of sobering reality for you.
Suspension is made up of heavy-duty shocks and springs, and the brakes are 60% beefier than those on the consumer models. Engine and transmission have extra cooling systems – the radiator is 50% larger than that of the conventional Taurus. Underneath, a steel skid pad protects the drivetrain during off-road pursuit. Both vehicles ride on the same police-purpose Goodyears, another budget-aiding interchangeability feature. The spare is full-size and ready to bolt on to either model. "Everything we've done, we've done to meet or exceed the Crown Vic's specifications" said David Shuttleworth, Ford of Canada's Product Marketing Manager for Commercial Vehicles. He's quick to point out that the Interceptor is far more than a stock Taurus with a few bolt-ons – but has been purpose-built exclusively for law enforcement.
The biggest complaint many cops have about wannabe cruisers is lack of room. Nobody wants to spend an entire shift rubbing elbows with their co-workers, right? Interior space in the new Interceptors rivals the Crown Vic's – with a comparable 9" between seats, adjustable pedals to increase legroom and specially contoured seats to accommodate bulky utility belts. The layout is police-specific – the column shifter has been moved to the steering wheel to free up space in the centre console. Easily accessible steering wheel located buttons can be programmed to control up to four different electronic systems. The floors are covered in easily cleaned vinyl (and that's all we have to say about that…) and rear doors open a full 71 degrees for "customer accommodation." If the three V6 engine choices buck tradition, they offer more power and far better fuel economy than the eight-cylinder ever did. The Police Interceptor sedan's base 288-hp, 3.5L V6 is rated at 11.4L/100km city and 7.5 highway – 38 more horsepower than the Crown Vic, yet 35% more efficient. An optional 3.5L EcoBoost V6 produces 365 hp at 13.3/8.8 L/100km, while the utility vehicle's 304-hp, 3.7L V6 has a rating of 13.1/9.1 L/100km city/highway.
Tossing cop-car keys at a bunch of auto writers is like turning loose a pack of pre-schoolers in a Toys R Us. Tires squealing, lights flashing, sirens wailing… we were able to thrash the two Interceptors around a large slalom course to see if they lived up to the claims of "drama-free handling." Both vehicles were impressively stable – particularly surprising was the utility vehicle whose handling was remarkably similar to the sedan's. Neither tight turns nor quick slaloming produced much body roll, and the brakes stopped both Interceptors with brute force. Best of all was the occasional visit from on-duty officers. One cruiser rolled slowly by, cell phone held aloft recording our antics. Another big, strapping young uniformed officer pulled in to have a closer look. "Did he want to have a go at them?" asked the Ford folks. "Naah, just wanted to check them out," the officer said, jerking his head towards his bow-tie bedecked utility vehicle. "That thing's a piece of s**t." Other Reviews Available For The 2013 Ford Taurus |

Last night I attended a benefit with a group of fabulous women. In a conversation before the show started, one of my companions mentioned that she was thinking about opening a brokerage account. She asked the very common question: Should she use a broker or do it herself?
I tend to lean toward the "do-it-yourself" route, but not everyone is the same. It can be reassuring to have a professional help you make important investment decisions and guide you on the steps to manage money. That said, remember that you're going to pay for this service. If your goal is to get ahead, a full-service broker or advisor is going to slow that process with their fees.
Here's what you need to ask if you go the full-service route:
- What are the fees associated with your service? Make sure all fees are in writing and that you understand how and when you'll be paying.
- What is your investment philosophy? You want to make sure that your broker is on the same page you are. Generally (though not always) someone around your age will probably identify with your goals more than someone much older or younger.
- How experienced are you? Sitting in a chair for a long time doesn't make someone an expert. That said, I don't necessarily want to be the "test run" for the new broker.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides a website to make sure your prospective broker has never been in trouble. You'll find it here.
If you decide to fly solo, you'll also need a few tips:
- Are you a self-starter? Starting an online brokerage account is more than about avoiding fees. I've met plenty of people who never trade, never invest and don't make prudent investment decisions while they're savings a bunch of money in fees. Remember: saving money in fees won't reach your goal. You're going to need to plan and keep yourself on that plan to succeed.
- Compare services. Some online brokers offer convenient methods to add and subtract funds. Others offer incredibly low trading costs. Some work with many mutual funds. Others only let you choose from a few. Call the phone support people and ask them how to open a Roth IRA (whether you need one or not). Judge the service you receive. Was it helpful? Were you transferred several times?
We'll do a full blog piece on this in the future, but hopefully this will help anyone out there considering this very question to get started!

Equestrian Queensland would also encourage all Clubs to place before their members, Equestrian Queensland membership. The benefit to riders in having 24/7 personal accident insurance alone should be incentive enough to have them seriously consider this offer. Your Club will receive a rebate of $10.00 for every new member endorsed by the Club, that signs up with Equestrian Queensland for the first time. We will credit $10 toward your Club that can be used for future affiliation or as directed by your club.
We wish to remind you that any Club that runs an 'Official' Equestrian Australia (EA) event must be an Affiliate Member and must hold a Public Liability Insurance Policy. In the circumstances where a non-affiliate club holds an EA event, its results will be regarded as 'unofficial'. They will also be in breach of the intellectual property rights of EA as they will have illegally used EA rules that they have no right to use as a non-affiliate. Riders participating in such events also have no insurance cover as the event will not be considered an endorsed EQ event.
We require all Clubs/Groups that hold 'Official' events to send in their results electronically to the Equestrian Queensland Office within 2 weeks of the Event. The reason for this is to ensure our records are as up-to-date as possible on our web database. In addition, we are seeking to increase the exposure of equestrian sports. To do this, we would like to promote the events and results to the media as quickly as possible, as well as placing the results on our website.
We appreciate any feedback or input you would like to offer in relation to how Equestrian Queensland can ensure that there is a bright future for equestrian sports or how Equestrian Queensland can service your Club more thoroughly.
Equestrian Queensland is committed to facilitating Affiliate Member Groups in developing equestrian sports in Queensland in 2013.
I look forward to welcoming your Club/Group to Equestrian Queensland and to working with you in the delivery of equestrian sports in 2013.
