A NEW committee of the Connaught Region of Showjumping Ireland was returned after a marathon AGM of over six hours, which, at times, was out of control in Claremorris, Co Mayo, on Wednesday evening.

A crowd of approximately 150 members turned out for the AGM, called by the National Executive of SJI after they cancelled what was to be the original AGM on December 9th when the Connaught Region withdrew from attending executive and standing meetings of the association on November 29th.
