Also attached are the audited FY16 accounts for Equestrian NSW, to be submitted for approval at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 22 Nov 16.  The main points include:

• Revenues increased by 40% to $3.096m, from Equestrian NSW staging four major events.
• A deficit of $157k was generated against a budget deficit of $129k.
• The variation was mainly due to increased costs incurred for Sydney International Horse Trials and staff costs to run the four major events.
• Discipline support increased by 6% to $465k.
• Cash holdings remained healthy at $1.424m, including $386k for FY17 membership pre-payments and $156k held in the Olivia Inglis Scholarship Fund.
• More details will be provided in the Annual Report.
