To:         All Members who want to go to 3 DAY CAMP

 

 

From:     Candy Robbins – Branch and Camp Secretary

 

Camp arrangements for 2025 are underway!  This will take place at Bucklands Farm, Balcombe, Tuesday 29^th  – Thursday 31^st July.  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 £240.  To secure a place I will need to receive your non-refundable deposit of £75 by 1st June – the balance of £175 will be due by 15^th June at the very latest.

 

Fees are kept as low as possible as we don't make a profit out of camps, and 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 1st June these will be offered to members from neighbouring branches who have expressed an interest in joining us.

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.

??????Plumpton Village will be busy on Sunday as it is the final day of racing at Plumpton Racecourse - I would suggest avoiding coming through Plumpton village completely, as traffic often is stand still for quite some time until they open racecourse gates at midday!
