1 Who we are and what we do
The North Weald Bridleways and Riding Club was formed in 1982 to provide a range of activities for riders of
all abilities and interests in the local area. As well as shows, clinics and talks from experts, we have also
provided financial support for local and national charities; Spinal Research, Kent Air Ambulance, St.John
Ambulance and BHS work to improve Local Access.
We have a small committee who work with members to decide each season’s programme and ensure that all
our events run smoothly. We have a busy website where you can find additional information, chat with
others or see pictures of last season’s events - why not take a look at www.nwbarc.co.uk
