Pony Club Membership Renewals 2015

Hi

I trust you have enjoying the Festive Season!  You are receiving this e-mail because the address is linked to one or more current members of Southdown East Branch of the Pony Club.  I bring good news which I quote from the renewal letter from the Chairman:

"Membership normally falls due on January 1st. However, we have received representations from several Branches that parents can find this financially difficult, because of its proximity to Christmas. Accordingly, we have decided to change the renewal date to February 1st., and will give free membership for the month of January 2015. In future, the membership year will run from February 1st. to January 31st. Both membership and insurance cover will automatically terminate if the subscription is not paid by February 28th."

Those wishing to be prepared well in advance can download the membership renewal form from the HQ website: http://www.pcuk.org/uploads/dcs/Membership_Renewal_2015.pdf

I will be mailing again later in January regarding renewals with more detailed information regarding the process.

I will be sending out the camp mailing on or after 1st January.

Seasonal greetings!

Mike Nichols
Treasurer and Membership Secretary

Strangles

As you may know there is a case of strangles with our region.  While this is nothing unusual (strangles is a nasty equine infection which crops up with monotonous regularity) please remember that it is very infectious so if you are stabled at a yard where there is a case please adhere to veterinary advice and do not travel or attend Pony Club activities until given the 'all clear'.  If we end up spreading strangles to another equine population we will not be popular!

I trust everyone is enjoying the festive season despite the difficulties which can occur from time to time.

Mike

Childrens Meet Cancellation

Dear All,

                                                                         26-12-2014

 

It is with great disappointment that I have to announce a case of strangles at our farm today. Therefore the Childrens Hunt meet on the 31st December at South Brockwells Farm, Little Horsted, TN22 5QS will be postponed to a later date. Apologies to all those who were planning on coming and please keep a close eye on these emails as we will reschedule , the legacy of my late mother was to get children hunting and a case of strangles is a small hurdle in our way currently! Wishing you all a happy New Year and hope to see you soon.

Tetrathlon

 
Tetrathlon Shoot Practice
The meeting last Sunday was very successful and Sally Bowman (Area 11 rep) answered lots of questions and allowed everyone to handle an air pistol.
 
Following on from this we have been invited to join the OS&B branch of Pony Club for their shooting practices which run weekly at Taylor's Gun Club in East Grinstead every Thursday evening from 5:30pm until approx 7.30pm. This is open to all members aged 8 years and above. They provide guns, pellets and targets and training is given. It becomes a sociable evening as there is a pool table! It costs just £4 per session.
 
The shoot training will start again after the holidays on Thursday 8th January 2015.
 
Long trousers/tracksuits and trainers/shoes must be worn (no boots or anything over the ankles).
 
Any SDH East members who are 8 years & above and would like to join some sessions in 2015 can email their details to Nicky Collins nicky.collins@waitrose.com and she will let the organisers know who is coming along.
 
This will be a good starting point for our branch: ultimately leading to us purchasing our own guns and setting up our own sessions. We will also be purchasing the target throwing equipment required for members who are under 8 years of age so that they can practice their throwing.
