Pony Club E-mail - Update

Dear Members and Friends

As you know the branch regularly sends e-mail out to it's members to keep everyone up to date with rallies, events, items for sale and so forth.  On or about 25th March it became apparent our mail was being rejected by yahoo.co.uk and gmail.com domains due to a validation failure.  Validation exists in an attempt to make sure mail is being received from the address is says it's coming from.  Pretending to send mail from an address is common in phishing so the validation is helpful.  I'm not 100% sure why this issue arose; something changed in the infinite Ether and it wasn't my doing!

The upshot is Pony Club mail will now be sent from the address sdhepc@thefourfootway.org .  The fourfootway.org is a domain owned by me (Mike Nichols, Branch Treasurer) and so I can set up the required validation key (DKIM for the technically minded).  In order to avoid our mail being processed as 'junk' it's recommended you add sdhepc@thefourfootway.org to your address book.  This can replace the previous address sdhepc@btinternet.com which will no longer be used.  As I have commented on before sending mail to a long list of recipients is actually quite a difficult thing to do.

Don't forget all our outgoing mail is copied to http://sdhepc.blogspot.co.uk so you can always check to make sure you have seen everything.

Some recent e-mails have been sent twice to make sure they are received by those domains that were rejecting them.  To those who got them twice my apologies; I'm sure the delete button will fix it!!

I hope you all enjoy the Easter holidays.

Kind regards

Mike

Sponsorship Opportunity with Southdown East Pony Club (resend)

Hi,

 

I am a volunteer for Southdown Hunt East Pony Club and we are very lucky to have our own Cross Country Course at Wivelsden Farm in North Chailey.

 

We run a number of events throughout the summer months and this year we are planning a new layout, which includes some very exciting new jumps.  We are inviting sponsorship of these new jumps, which is a wonderful way of advertising your company or just your family name on there to show your support.

 

In exchange for sponsorship we will provide a plaque advertising your company on each jump sponsored, and our commentary team will give information of each sponsor as the competitors go around the course.  We would also advertise your business on our Facebook page and in our show schedule booklets. We can also put up banners or other items for you on the day of our events.

 

The cost of sponsorship would be:

Single  jump -  £50 per jump

Combination  jump  -  £100 per jump.

 

We are planning a launch of the new course, which will be covered by a local paper, before we open again in May.

 

If you are interested in supporting a local pony club or have any queries regarding the above, please contact me on 

gemma_547@hotmail.com   or 07901876199

 

Many Thanks

Gemma Johnson

Hi Everyone    I have arranged two C and C+ Rallies for the Easter Holidays. If you are one of the girls who would like to take your C Test in the May Half term it would be really good if you could attend. If there is anyone else who would like to be considered for the test in May please ring me next week.     Claire 0772 988 0293    The Rallies will be 2 hours. 1 Hour riding and then 1 Hour Stable Managerment.     Time 9.30 to 11.45 - Thurs 5th April at Oakfields, Crawley Down    Time 10.30 to 12.45 - Thurs 12th April at Oakfields, Crawley Down    Both times are £15     I have only booked the 1 Slot each time and can have up to 6 members ( 7 at a push ) this is because there doesn't seem to be enough members wanting to take any tests at the moment.

Older members at Junior camp - from Anne Cook

Dear All  I am sending this email as I believe there are a few members who would like to attend senior camp but do not want to stay overnight.  However, the Committee has agreed that Senior Camp must remain residential.   If we allow members to go home at night this could cause unrest with members that are staying as homesickness is a perennial problem. Having day campers also makes security a complex issue.  However, we do want to try our best to accommodate the members who do not want to stay overnight at senior camp so we are happy to arrange for a 'senior ride' at Junior Camp with extra age appropriate activities, for example going to Wivelsden to use the cross country course.   I do hope you will find this an acceptable compromise.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email c.cook578@btinternet.com or telephone 07795547712.  Regards  Anne    Sent from my iPhone
