MEMBERS NEWS
Change to Dress Code for Members’ Competitions
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey
which was sent by email in May to our members
to gauge your views on relaxing the dress code at
Members Days’ (i.e. internal comps) at the
PRARG grounds.
The Management Committee have discussed and
decided that as of 1st August 2021, the dress code
can relax (for Members’ Days only) as follows:
• Members can wear black or navy breeches/
jodhpurs instead of the current requirement for
white, cream or beige.
• Members can wear a long sleeve polo shirt in
the club colours (i.e. light blue), instead of a
PRARG club shirt if they prefer to have long
sleeves, or they can wear sun sleeves with
their club shirt for sun protection.
Alternatively, the members can choose to follow
the EA dress rules (see the EA rule book) as is a
current option for Members’ days.
July’s Ribbon Day Postponed
Unfortunately we had to postpone the Ribbon Day
which was due to have taken place on Sunday 25
July due to the arenas still being too wet after the
rain late in the week.
The new date for this event is Saturday 11
September. All competitors have been contacted
by email and their entry will be carried over to this
new date. If any competitor is unable to compete
on this date, they need to contact Emma Flegman
(insert email/mobile) to arrange a refund and
withdraw.
Entries have reopened to new competitors and
details can be found on Nominate or via our
website.
AGM / Trophy Presentation
The Management Committee have started
preparations for the Trophy Presentation Dinner
(incorporating the AGM) which will take place on
the evening of Saturday 13 November at the
Albert River Winery. Make a note of this date in
your diaries, we will be providing further details a
bit closer to the time.
Half Year Memberships
The half year membership fee system commences
on 1 August. There are still plenty of events
between August and the end of the membership
year on 31 January that makes being a member of
PRARG of great value. If you know of anyone
who isn’t a current member and would like to be,
direct them to the membership page on our
website for details on how to join.

A Property Identification Code (PIC) is used by Biosecurity Queensland and is unique to your property.
This code is necessary for maintaining property and livestock records as part of the National Livestock
Identification System (NLIS).
These requirements:
• Protect our livestock industries from pests and diseases
• Provide a system for individual or group identification if your stock are removed from your property
• Allow you to record individual performance data for management and breeding purposes.
All Queensland properties that have livestock, such as cattle and horses, must have a PIC number.
If you have not already provided PRARG with your PIC number when joining or renewing your
membership, please email this through to [email protected]
Failure to register your property can result in a $4,000 fine.
Further PIC information can be found here (or use a search engine using Property Identification Codes
Queensland)
INSURANCE
What does this mean for YOU as a member of PRARG?
As the club has just renewed its EA Insurance Policy, this is a timely reminder as to what is covered
and what is not when you as a member ride or compete at the PRARG Grounds
What is defined as a horse activity day?
What cover do club members have at club competitions?
As a rider at PRARG, unless you are a FINANCIAL member of EA/EQ, you are NOT covered for
personal injury should you have a fall at the grounds.
You are covered 24/7 for personal injury as an EA/EQ member when you ride. This benefit alone
should be reason enough to join.

YARDS FOR 2021
IMPORTANT RULES TO FOLLOW
The expectation from our Management Committee, Insurance Provider, Logan Council and Equestrian
Australia is to ensure that only financial members of PRARG and registered competitors are permitted to
ride on the grounds. To maintain our excellent reputation as a compliant and diligent club this warning
reminder is stated:
Do not allow your friends or other persons to ride your horse while on the grounds. A coach
may but must have either EA insurance or their own a certificate of currency.
There are no exceptions from this ruling and a serious penalty process will apply to anyone who
jeopardises the rule. The rules we apply are to protect, one and all, so we expect that you will
understand and respect this warning.
