C+/B training - reply to Hazel Perry

Dear All

I am hoping to set up some regular stable management rallies for those working towards their C+ or B tests. I am thinking a weekday evening would work best and I am aiming to hold at least one a month. Each session will cover a specific topic which will enable members to read up in advance and bring along anything they might find useful.

If you think this might be of interest to you please could you let me know your preferred evening and I will do my best to make it fair for everyone. My email address is hazelperry@live.com.

Many thanks
Hazel

Camp setting rallies

Camp standard setting rallies

 

 

Please could all those who have asked for spaces on the 1st and 25th June camp rallies send me their completed rally forms and payment! 

 

Anyone who has not yet booked one of the above standard setting rallies, please do so asap., so we can accommodate all of you wanting to go to one of the camps.

 

It is a condition of going to camp that one of these standard setting rallies is attended so that you can be assessed and put into the correct riding ability group.  In addition you will need to have attended a further 2 mounted working rallies in this current year ideally on the pony that you are taking to camp.

 

All rally forms are to be posted or hand delivered, NOT E-MAILED!  If paying by BACS please remember to attach a copy of the transaction with the form to support payment and to make the job of myself and Mike, our treasurer, much easier.

The camp booking forms themselves will be with you very shortly and again will need to be returned in full by post or hand.  Senior camp itself involves 14 forms to be returned x 72 campers and that is far too much printing for me to do!  

 

Many thanks in anticipation of you co-operation.

Follow the drive down to the 5 bar gate, and then continue past the buildings to the lorry park on the righthand side – there is lots of parking, and again the area to be cleared of hay and droppings.  To access the indoor school, turn left out of the lorry park and then bear left up a short track that goes between the buildings to the school entrance.

Please shut all gates behind you.  Horses are not to be left unattended tied to trailers/lorries.

 

There are toilets on site.  There is also a kitchen area we can use, but you will need to bring your own tea, coffee, milk etc. – quite civilised!!
