CGS Equestrian Club
It is with considerable sadness that we announce that the Chesham Grammar Equestrian Club will cease to run at the end of the Summer Term 2026. The club was established in 1972. Since 1981, it has been run by Antonia Thoday who taught at CGS for 47 years, until her retirement in 2024. Over time, as you will appreciate, many things have changed and we have reached a stage where, despite exploring every possible avenue to allow the club to conitnue, after 54 years of operation, it is no longer viable for the club to continue under the auspices of the school.
For over five decades, the Equestrian Club has been a source of joy, confidence and friendship for students. It has fostered a unique community and created memories that will endure for years to come. We believe we were unique in being the only state school to have retained a strong and active Equestrian Club until this point, and you can read about it here!
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and parents who have given their time and energy to the club over the years and to three generations of the Mash family who allowed us to keep the ponies at their farm. The club would not have been able to run without this incredible support.
