District Commissioners Report

Hi Everyone and welcome to the June rally, please be patient the groups are all getting reassessed for the July rally we just have to wait for everyone to pay and confirm their return before they can get re-sorted. We are trying a new system if you name is in bold it may mean that you are not riding at this particular rally, or you are only doing half a day, or on vets advice you are only allowed to do one discipline, so before you worry about the size of your group look how many bold names you have in it. Of course this only works if people continue to notify me on [email protected] or 0419 351198 if they know advance.

Also, what ever lesson your child starts the day in, it is your responsibility to help set it up, and it works just as well at the end of the day up help pack it up you last lesson of the day. This applies to the ménage groups too. Our club has heaps of equipment, it is no fun in the shed, get it out there and use it!! Obviously xc your lucky there is no set up, but if you see someone that needs a hand jump in. A huge thankyou to all those volunteers at out Dressage & Showjumping Day. You were all fantastic, what a successful day.

The cleaning only takes approximately 15 minutes if everyone does their share (sweep & mop floors, clean toilets - all cleaning equipment is located in cleaning room behind first aid room). The canteen needs helpers to operate and prepare the food so please help in the canteen on your allocated roster day. Thanks. Please place your lunch orders by 11 am to ensure enough food is available for all. Orders can be picked up between 12:15 & 12.30.
