Thankyou to those that have expressed an interest in taking part in the show jumping competition at Hickstead on 3rd August, hosted by Southdown West Pony Club
We have lots of interest among the younger members who will be competing as individuals as sadly there is no team competition until you reach the 70cm class. The 70cm, 80cm and 90cm classes do have a team competition but again sadly nobody has committed to taking part so all interested combinations will be competing as individuals.
Now is the time for you all to make your entries - this is done via MY RIDING LIFE (https://myridinglife.com/eventdetails.aspx?id=468138) as the hosts will not accept entries via any other means.
Please do this asap as although entries officially close 1st August, SDW will close earlier if over subscribed.
Any problems please contact Katie Wright 07881 404542 katieandadien@hotmail.com
Many thanks
Katie

A reminder to book onto the working rally at Plumpton College on Sunday 16th June. Although calendar booking shows rally is for E-C levels, there is currently 3 hours booked, so can run sessions suitable for all members. There has been a change of instructor and Sonia is now teaching. Please book on by Friday because I will have to cancel any hours not required.
3 DAY CAMP
Camp arrangements for 2024 are underway! This will take place at Bucklands Farm, Balcombe, Tuesday 30th July – Thursday 1st August. This is a 3 day non residential camp and will make full use of the fantastic facilities that Bucklands Farm has to offer, including their cross country course.
The cost will be £225. To secure a place I will need to receive your non-refundable deposit of £75 by 8th June – the balance of £175 will be due by 30th June at the very latest.
Fees are kept as low as possible as we don't plan to make a profit out of camps, but they usually require some cross-subsidy from Branch funds.
I am happy to receive bookings by e-mail backed by payment direct into the Branch Account (20-49-76 30810541) Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis and bookings will not be treated as confirmed until supported by the non refundable deposit as above. You will receive an e-mail notification after both your application and payment have been received.
Camp numbers will be capped – should there be any spaces as of 8th June these will be offered to members from neighbouring branches who have expressed an interest in joining us. Sadly 2 of our closest branches are not able to run any form of camp this year due to lack of interest, so we are all very lucky to be able to go ahead with ours.
After your application has been received, you will be sent paperwork asking for pony and rider details and also medical information.
If you would like any further information at this point please feel free to contact me - 0781 6580322
