Jan 2026
At the end of last year our longstanding Trustee and former Chairperson, Gay Redmond, decided it was finally time to retire from all her RDA activities.
Gay had served over 50 years in a variety of RDA roles including County and Regional Chair, and Chair of our group. But she was much more than our Chair - she took over the running of the group in 2006, at a time when it was in danger of folding. She was a force to be reckoned with (and still is despite her retirement) and without her drive and enthusiasm, Cambs College RDA would probably not exist today. She worked tirelessly, finding volunteers (including her replacement as Chair), helping to buy new horses, and creating fundraising opportunities. Each summer she hosted an amazing summer party for riders, carers and helpers and made the group what it is today.
With her wonderful sense of humour, energy and dedication, Gay was a wonderful person to work with, and she is much missed by our group and the wider RDA community.
