DOONGALA PONY CLUBJULY 2018

DC & CI Report – July 2018 Welcome to the first rally of the financial year, if you do not received your grading at this rally it will be sent

through by PCAV within the coming weeks. If you require your grading card for a comp please contact Alice - 0408114774

New Members Please give a warm welcome our new members Caitlyn, Isabella and Georgia

Roster jobs – a very important part of a rallyFor our rallies to be able to run we must first set up the equipment as per Libby’s rally plan, this means that

the member or family listed on that timeslot and job must be represented to share the load.

With our smaller number of families you will notice that each family will now have 2 jobs per rally, but please do not think that you can’t just help out – the more the merrier and quicker we all get home.

Setup or Pack up AND either Canteen or Clubroom/toilet duty.

Bunning’s BBQ Fundraiser – Saturday August 4 th This day can easily earn over $2000 for the club, which we plan to spend on improving our grounds and

facilities for our members and their horses. Sita Katsaras is head of fundraising and will have the roster to fill out at rally and will be contacting families.

We are asking for a couple of hours from each family - just standing around cookin’ snags and chatting.*please note* this does count towards your required “volunteer” hours as per our ByLaws.

(These can be found on the club website)

SMZ C Certificate Testing - Saturday 13 th October Applications and C workbooks are required by September Rally.

Please contact Libby regarding the certificate videos on a Thursday night.**Riders who are 12 or older 2019, it's a great time to get started, ready for next year’s assessment days**

State Games, Flat Teams and Musical Ride - Mentone We are looking to enter as many Doongala members in the Games, Flat and Musical ride on September16th to

qualify for the State Championships which are held as PCAV Park in Gladysdale We will be working on selecting teams this rally and going through requirements for this competition.

Doongala Pony Club Members GroupAn email has gone out with the link to our new members only “closed” facebook group

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1755529047854808/Here we will post all things for our members - notices, rally attendance and upcoming events. We will continue to keep our public group open as it is a good platform for advertising and local news. At the

beginning of every new membership year we will remove any members who have not renewed and ensure all current /new members are added.

We are really looking forward to this Sundays’ rally. Regards, Alice & Libby

THE 1 ST ANNUAL DOONGALA DERBY – October 28 th 2018

We are hosting our 1st ever grade 5,4 & 3 Derby and will need plenty of help updating our cross country course over the coming months, the club is looking to purchase a number of new jumps and are negotiating with Boonara for the supply for some new/ready-made jumps to install http://www.crosscountryjumps.net

Clear your diary for SET UP on the 27th and COMP DAY on the 28th October.

A Derby is a combined Showjumping (SJ) Course that comprises both Cross Country (XC) and SJ Fences. The competition

takes place over a distance of between 750m and 1300m over a course which comprises at least 50% natural obstacles (ie xc

jumps). Think of it as being like a Horse Trials competition, without the dressage, and where you do the SJ and XC as if it

were one course. Where applicable, the rules used are the horse trials rules – for instance the grades used are the same as for

horse trials.

We will need to clear some of the grounds to make way for the new course – there may be some movement of jumps around the grounds this weekend (weather permitting) but as all sessions will be in an enclosed arena or away from this action.

We welcome anyone who would like to sponsor a jump or part of a course – speak with any of the committee.

If any parent is handy with a chainsaw and can spare a few hours this Sunday or any other time please contact our president Lisa 0433 396 758

Please contact Alice on dc@doongalaponyclub.com.au if you if you are unable to do a specific time/duty. If you need to swap please put out a FB post or contact members.
