New Centres Group not hanging around
The group rose out of the recent dispute over insurance cover between ShowjumpingIreland and Millstreet’s Noel C Duggan, but is adopting a broader, more positive brief, according to chairperson Anne Waistell. In that respect, she says the group will hold a meeting next Tuesday and she is confident it will be productive.
“It is an open meeting, mainly for show centre owners, but there are no restrictions on attendance. It will be a chance to meet each other and discuss ideas for the betterment of the show centres and the industry as a whole. We are also finalising our constitution for approval on the night,” said Waistell, proprietor of the long-established Ballyrafter Centre in Lismore, Co Waterford.
