Attention, Attention!! We need you!!
Berwick Riders Association are looking for a new Principal to join our team for 2027. This is a 3-year post, with our new principal coming into the right-hand position "to learn", followed by their Chief position "to do" and finally their left-hand position "to teach". The ‘Riding of the Bounds’ is Berwicks longest standing annual tradition, started by the Garrison and dating back over 400 years. Our ride attracts around 100 riders and thousands of spectators every year. Getting bigger and better each year!
Our new principal must have a strong link to Berwick and preferably live in the Borough of Berwick-upon-tweed. A confident and experienced rider is always an advantage but not a necessity, funding may be available for lessons for the correct candidate. The ideal Principal must be passionate about Berwick, and have the want to work hard to promote and grow our tradition. Applicants must be over 18. Principals will be expected to incur some expense of their own however some financial help may be available at the end of each season.
This role is a once in a lifetime, never to be forgotten experience that requires passion, commitment, and lots of hard work.
Still interested?..
Send us an email to [email protected] before 30th November 2026 and we will send you a copy of our principal’s handbook which gives lots more information. If you have any questions prior to applying, please write to the same address or contact a committee member.
