Next Committee Meeting

January 12 2014 3pm

Discussion an finalisation of SJ Series

Committee meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month

starting at 8pm at the pony club rooms.

How time flies! Xmas and our Gymkhana seems like its long gone and now the New Years is already here.

So as you would know there is no rally this month but Jon & Tori are again starting the games training this Sunday the 12th January at 3pm. So if you are keen please come along and also early next month we are starting our Summer Show Jumping Series so please come along & support us, (the program will soon be released). It’s a great opportunity to jump at home in a competition. For our February rally to beat the heat we are planning a twilight meeting details are still being worked out so these will follow.

Happy riding.

Sven

If the house coloured barrels are not out can you please go to the area where you gear

checked for the November rally. It seemed much more orderly and a lot safer than

everyone merging into one group.

C Certificate There will be two opportunities to sit your C Certificate Exam in 2014. You need to be nominated through the pony club to sit this exam so please see Sven if you would like to be included. The cost is around $50 and the dates are Saturday April 5 and Saturday September 6. You will need to have your C Certificate book completed prior to the date you wish to sit the test and signed off by Sven. The location will be advised closer to the date. If you are over 14 and wish to ride at State level you are required to have this certificate.

RAFFLE

Great prizes donated by Lokaway and displayed at the Upper Beaconsfield General
