USIHC Annual Meeting...

The USIHC Annual Meeting was held in Reston, VA mid January. Rich Moore and friends did a great job organizing the meeting and finding the venue. We had a great time meeting so many members and friends again.

At the dinner Hjálmar Hannesson the ambassador of Iceland presented the National Ranking system for Sanctioned Shows and gave out the awards. Anne-Marie won the T2 for the year and I won T1 and V1. Lucy won the Youth Classes T8 and V6 and also T3 and V2.
And Rachel won V3 the Intermediate Fourgait.

There were few of us from last summers US team and we honored Doug as our team leader.

We also made time for some sightseeing on Friday before the meeting since Will and I had never been to the capital before.
