Darby Competition
A newer event for ADCS. The first one was held August 4, 2007. Link to Darby Informtion and Rules.

Pleasure Driving Shows
The Festival of Driving Pleasure Show is held each spring near Easter. This show has a variety of classes in pleasure driving, reinsmanship, and some games classes as well. This is a one day show and open to anyone, and held at West World in Scottsdale for the past number of years.
Scheduling problems and lack of willing organizers meant no show in 2007 or 2008. Future shows are possible, but not currently scheduled for 2009. Interested in organizing one? Contact any Board Member.

Combined Driving Events Competitors must be members of ADS or pay a non member fee.

Two CDE competitions are traditional in Arizona.
The Arizona Combined Driving Event is ADS and has sometimes USEQ recognized and held at Goree Farms in Coolidge, AZ in March. The 2006 - 2008 events offered Training through Intermediate Levels. Prior years havd offered Advanced.
2009 will change to an HDT - two day and Training thru Advanced Levels.

The Old Pueblo CDE, ADS recognized and held at the Fairgrounds in Tucson, AZ in November or December each year, was discontinued after the Dec. 2005 event. Furtue "Old Pueblo" events are uncertain.

Grass Ridge Farms in Sonoita began to offer a CDE in 2005 and expanded to include Intermediate Level in 2006. While not a club sponsored event, many club members will compete at this event which is hosted by club members George and Nina Masek. The 2009 event will October 23-25.

Pleasure Drives
Held in various locations and at various times, pleasure drives give members a chance to get out with their rigs and enjoy the surroundings and other club members in an informal atmosphere. Drives often end with a pot luck meal. Many ADCS members enjoy drives with a Tucson area driving club, the Desert Harness Drivers. Dates are listed on our calendar.

Clinics
ADCS invites clinicians in several times during the year. Many clinics run over a two day period allowing for more members to participate, or multiple lessons for the same driver. Recent clinicians have included Lisa Singer, Muffy Seaton, Olyf Nyby, Mary Ruth Marks and Paul Sidwell, who was sponsored by Grass Ridge.

See the calendar for future dates. Local members also hold "beginners" clinics when there is a demand.
