Pony Club 90th Anniversary celebrations

This year the Pony Club is celebrating its' 90th Anniversary. A 'Round The World' event has been created to take place at noon on Saturday 3rd August and will be the key moment of the celebrations. The Pony Club hope to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of young people and it is in all our interests to raise the profile of our organisation showing our membership that they are part of an organisation with global connections, all sharing the same passion for horses, having fun and creating friendship opportunities that continue long after we cease being a pony club member.

Head Quarters would like all Branches to upload photographs/videos as near to noon as possible on 3rd August showing their own celebrations.

Saturday 3rd August coincides with the last day of senior camp and the interbranch jumping event being hosted by Southdown Hunt West at Hickstead. SDHW are proposing to create a giant "90" with 10/20 unmounted members from each branch within Area 11 in the main arena.

We would like to create our own "90" and would like to invite all present and ex members to join us at Plumpton Racecourse on the evening of Thursday 1st August. More details will follow shortly, but we propose to meet around 6.00 after evening stables and would like everyone to bring a picnic and join the campers and camp staff for the evening to celebrate.  The plan is to have this filmed by drone, along with the 'horse shoe' on the final day of camp and have it uploaded to HQ as our part of the celebrations.

Please try and keep the evening of 1st August free and help Southdown Hunt East with their celebrations – it will also be a great time to catch up with fellow  present and past members.
