SJI executive to discuss AGM ‘fines’ motion

THE Showjumping Ireland (SJI) national executive is to meet on October 6, when they will discuss the directive given by members at Tuesday’s AGM that fines and sanctions be scrapped for members and officials who participated at last month’s “independent” Millstreet Show.

A motion put forward by Sheila White that the executive “wipe out” fines/suspensions upon receipt of outstanding levies from Green Glens proprietor Noel C Duggan was passed by a huge majority at the AGM in Mullingar, Co Westmeath.

Mr Duggan had withheld the levies from his 2008 show, as he questioned the adequacy of the SJI’s insurance cover, claiming he had not been indemnified following an accident at his 2007 show.
