E/D/D+ rally 16th August - replies tp Anne Cook

I am sorry to let you know that Melanie Cammies will no longer be running our E, D and D+ rallies due to a change in personal circumstances.  Melanie has been a part of this branch for many years and she will be greatly missed.   She was so good at looking after all our younger members.   However, ?I am pleased to announce that we are going to run some working rallies at Vixengrove, the first being on 16th August, 1pm to 3pm. These will be in rides of 4, any age, any standard but I'm afraid no lead rein or those that need assistance as we have to adhere to the strict social distancing measures and follow the rules given by Head Office. Polly will be instructing.  The cost will be £10.  Please book in the usual way on the website.   We look forward to seeing you all.  Anne

Resumption of rallies - from Anne Cook

Dear All

Following on from my e-mail of 14th July regarding resuming rallies from 1st August, I am pleased so say our organisers have been working hard behind the scenes to get some rallies up and running safely.

This has taken some time as not all venues are open yet and PPE has needed to be sourced to keep organisers and instructors safe.

Dates will be added to our web site shortly and opened for booking.

In the meantime I ask that you all carefully read "Guidelines for Rallies" as these are rules from Head Office that we will be strictly adhering to.

Will be good to see you all soon.

Anne Cook

District Commissioner 

 

 

Guidelines for Rallies

 

 

·        In rallies maximum of 6 people in the one gathering e.g. : 1 coach, 1 rally organiser/first aider, 4 members

• One group in an arena, paddock or field area. There will be no dividing of arenas.
• Rallies must have a 10-15 minute hand over period to allow members to leave the teaching area. The rally organiser will then indicate to the next session that the area is clear to enter.
• Track & Trace – names of all attending persons per vehicle/on foot to be registered by text/e-mail to organiser on arrival
• Instructors/Officials are unable to lead or assist any member that needs to be lead.
• Members must be tacked up and waiting beside their vehicle until called to avoid delay.
• Parents are requested to stay clear of the teaching area, preferably in their own vehicles.
• Only members of the same family should travel to the rally together. Only one member of the family to accompany the riding member and that siblings are left at home.
• Coaches are asked to keep a 2m distance from the member, therefore stirrup length and girths must be checked by the accompanying person before starting the lesson. Instructors can only provide a visual check.
• Do not help with poo picking and pole lifting, this will be done by the coach in the arena. However please ensure the area around your trailer/lorry is cleared before you leave.
• Parking of vehicles must be at least 10 metres apart.
• All attendees at the training must observe the 2 metre rule.
• All payments for training must be made in advance online, no cash will be accepted on the day.  
• PPE will be provided for the first aider only. Please ensure you use hand washing or hand sanitiser before and after the session.
• No photography allowed on social media as requested by Head Office.
• Please respect the venue we are using by not touching gates or fencing etc. where possible. Be aware that there will be no toilet facilities so you must make your own provision for this.
• No dogs

 

 

This is very different to what is natural behaviour but social distancing is an essential part of keeping everyone safe.  Failure to follow any of the above may sadly result in you being asked to leave without refund.

 

Our organisers give up their time freely for the benefit of your family, please respect this and follow instructions without resistance.

 

Thank you for your cooperation during these unusual times

 

 

Cherry Mitchell

Dear All,

I am sure many of you already know, but it is with great sadness that I have to report that Cherry Michell died last Friday.
Cherry was a former Chairman of The Pony Club and was loved by so many. She was warm, kind and hugely supportive of the Pony Club. She will be very much missed.
I am  waiting to hear  regarding arrangements, perhaps the Romney Marsh would let us know what the family intend as Cherry was very much involved with the Branch.
Best wishes

Keep Safe & Well.

Dear All,

Please find attached information about the PC Dressage Home International for the Autumn Virtual RWHS. Hopefully all clear, but just to remind you that this is a very separate competition from live Windsor and the team members selected for 2020 will keep their place for 2021.

 

Thanks 

Keep Safe & Well.

resumption of rallies

Dear All  I hope you are all keeping safe and well.  After a recent zoom Committee Meeting, we are hoping to resume running rallies during August and will confirm the exact start dates by the end of July. Obviously, if at any time the Government guidelines change, this will have to be reviewed again.  The dates will be put on the calendar for booking in the usual way and open for bookings once the start date has been confirmed.

There are strict rules which must be followed and these will be emailed to you all shortly.   It will be lovely to see you all out and about again.   Anne  

Royal Windsor Virtual pony Club Home International September 2020

Dear All,

Please see the message below from Helen Griffiths regarding dressage at the virtual Windsor Horse Show. More details will follow but you make like to alert your members.

 

"Dear All ,
I hope all is  well with you and you are starting to enjoy a slightly more normal life ! 
I am sure by now you have seen the Press release from Windsor about their virtual Horse Show in September . Windsor are 
very keen to involve the Pony Club Home International Team competition and for us The Pony Club to reproduce the very high standard of riding we demonstrated at RWHS 2019 .
It is a fantastic opportunity for the Pony Club and Pony Club dressage to reach a much wider audience.
The dressage committee and myself have been very busy to see if we can put something together ,and we have .
Firstly this is COMPLETELY separate competition from the "real" Windsor and there will be a virtual qualifying round in Mid August on grass judged by a panel of 3 British Dressage Judges  . We hope that mid August will give Scotland and Wales time to get going . 
The Teams that were selected for RWHS 2020 WILL keep their places for 2021 but they can all still enter the qualifying round for Virtual Windsor if they reach the eligibility.
The eligibility and rules will follow but I just wanted to let you all know that is exciting adventure with Virtual Windsor is going to take place for Pony Club Dressage .I will update shortly on how the qualifying round will work 
Thanks 
Helen "

 

Keep Safe & Well.

Senior Camp and Day Camp

It is with great sadness, due to these uncertain times and the restrictions that are in place, we are unable to run either of the Pony Club Camps this year. Naturally this will be very disappointing, but the safety of our members and their families is paramount.

All deposits will be refunded in due course.

We are hoping to organise some specific day rallies towards the end of the summer and will monitor the situation regularly and keep you all updated.

Senior Camp 2021 will run 24^th – 31^st July and  the 5 day long Day Camp will run Monday 2^nd  - 6^th August inclusive so some positive dates for your diaries!

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe.

Decorate Your Pony

Please see the attached entry form for this competition. I welcome any feedback. I will also need to ask a kind branch to supply rosettes for this competition, obviously not Southdown Hunt East who very kindly donated the rosettes for the Easter Bonnet Competition (a big thank you to Claire Fry for sending them out).
