Confirmation of the rally schedule is available on the Club’s Web Site or in the e-newsletters. Who Can Come You must be a financial member of the Pony Club Association of NSW. A responsible adult should accompany junior members (under 17 years) on Rally Days. Only Pony Club riding members are permitted to ride at rallies. Senior riding members over 25 years, are only permitted to ride if they are paid up as riding members and with the Senior instructors approval for instruction or demonstration only. Adults are not permitted to ride, exercise or lunge their horses during a rally any time in the area where the rally is being conducted. How the Day Runs During the warmer months (September-April) rallies commence with a 9.00am gear check. During the cooler months (May-August) rallies commences with a 10.00am gear check. Most rallies are planned as full day rallies however, some rallies may only run for 1/2 a day finishing at lunch time. All parents and riders are asked to assist with setting up and packing up equipment, show jumps etc, before and after each rally. At all times riders stay with their allocated group and walk their horse between lessons. What Happens There are lots of different activities that you may participate in at a rally including jumping, dressage, troop drill, mounted games, sporting, polocrosse, horse care and theory. x Riders must present themselves for gear check in troop lines. x When all riders have been checked, they will be organised into groups. x Size and composition of groups depends on many factors including – which members are present, which instructors are available, what activities are organised. Generally riders of similar ability and/or age are grouped together. x Your attendance is noted each rally. Wet Weather Policy If it is wet and you are unsure whether the rally will go ahead contact one of your committee members for clarification. What You Should Bring Food for your horse, bucket for water, secure headstall and lead rope. Tack should meet Pony Club criteria, be well fitting and in good, safe condition. You may need to check the suitability of your equipment before coming to a rally day. Please bring snacks and drinks for yourself. Tumut Pony Club NSW www.tumutponyclub.org.au 4 Parking Car parking is provided at the grounds. It is a requirement of Pony Club NSW that a horse free parking area be provided - therefore no horses are to be tied up on the vehicle, hitching rails or to floats/trucks. You are not to ride your horse in the parking areas. Parents are asked to pay attention to where they park their cars, floats and trucks. The committee suggests that you park your vehicles away from the yards as the area needs to be kept clear for riders to take their horses to and from the yards safely and without doing any damage to vehicles. PCA does have insurance coverage, however the excess fee is $1,000.00 up front and the executive would prefer not to have to make a decision about who should have to pay this large amount of money if an accident was to occur. Horse Yards Pony Club members are fortunate to have ample yards for the horses to be held in before, during and after rallies. Please remember the following safety rules when using the yards: x All horses are to be saddled and unsaddled in a yard. x Horses are NOT to be tied to a horse float or truck at any time. This includes before, during or after the rally. x All horses are to be kept in a yard during short breaks and lunch time. x Riders should be supervised when leading their pony to their yard. x The pony should be tied up with a headstall before unsaddling and then again when saddling up in a yard. x All equipment should be removed from the yards and the saddle and other gear placed clear of the yard. x Riders should ensure that their pony is provided water. x During breaks children are not to play, or spend time in or around the yards. x When riders are dismissed by their instructor, they should dismount and lead their pony to their yard. Proficiency Certificates Throughout their Pony Club career, riders are encouraged to undertake various efficiency tests according to their age and ability - commencing with the basic ‘E’ certificate through to the ‘A’ certificate. These certificates aim to encourage the interest and improvement in knowledge of riders. They are viewed as a measure of a rider’s progress in their overall efficiency. In working for them riders acquire valuable knowledge and skills, which enhance their riding. No matter what your age you must commence at the D Certificate and work your way through the levels. Theory workbooks will be utilised by the club for riders to work through these certificates. Workbooks are available from the Club. Workbook Fees D/D* Activity Book (under 7) $16.00 (suitable for E Certificate) D/D* Workbook (7 and over) $25.00 C Workbook (12 and over) $32.00 C*/K Workbook (14 and over) $37.00 Tumut Pony Club NSW www.tumutponyclub.org.au 5 E Certificate – Under 7 years D Certificate – 7 years+ Basic knowledge of grooming and general Elementary knowledge of grooming, feeding care of the horse.

A rose was planted in honour of the Anzacs by Terry O’Keeffe, a Corporal in Vietnam in The RAR (Royal Australian Regiment.), Lisa Connors (a Corporal in RAF Security Police for 10 years) and Private Rosalea Mitson on behalf of our community. Lisa also read “The Ode of Remembrance.” The Australian Anthem was sung, led by the ever- enthusiastic Walwa Primary School students and the service was completed with tight efficiency just before the rain came down. Refreshments were served in the hall and the throngs moved between some wonderful exhibits of memorabilia from WWI, WWII, and the more recent Korean, Vietnam, and Afghanistan conflicts. The Walwa Primary School students’ biographies of honour roll persons were an interesting feature and gave a bit of colour and life to the dry and dusty names on the honour Roll.

  • Data Versus Desktop: an Assessment of the Severity of Cold Water Pollution in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers Below Khancoban Dam Pope E1 and Nolan A2
    Full Paper Pope and Nolan – An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution below Khancoban Dam Data versus Desktop: An assessment of the severity of Cold Water Pollution in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers below Khancoban Dam Pope E1 and Nolan A2 1. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] 2. Snowy Hydro Limited, Cooma NSW 2630. Email: [email protected] Key Points Cold Water Pollution occurs downstream of Khancoban Dam but effects are not as severe or persistent as expected on the basis of the original desktop study Summer suppression is evident but winter elevation, annual amplitude reduction, seasonal displacement and impacts to diel variation are very minor Causes of cold water releases appear to be a combination of reservoir stratification and releases from Murray 2 Power station with releases from the power station being the dominant cause The presence of Khancoban Reservoir appears to be having a minor impact on the percentage of time that breeding temperature thresholds are exceeded during the breeding seasons of a number of native fish expected to occur in the Swampy Plains and Murray Rivers. Abstract In 2004, Khancoban Dam was listed as one of 9 Dams in NSW considered to cause severe cold water pollution on the basis of a desktop study. This study, based on 5 years of field data, demonstrates that cold water releases do occur from Khancoban but that these events are not as severe or prolonged as expected. On average, there is a difference in temperature of only -2.2°C between monitoring points upstream and downstream of Khancoban Dam during summer.

  • Rates of Bank Erosion Under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper
    Full Paper Simon et.al. –Upper Murray River System Bank Erosion: Natural and Regulated Flows Rates of Bank Erosion under Natural and Regulated Flows in the Upper Murray River System: Khancoban Dam to Jingellic 1 2 3 4 Simon A , Hammond J , Artita K and Pope E 1 Cardno, PO Box 1236, Oxford, MS 38655, USA. [email protected] 2 Cardno, 312 Mansfield Rd, Fayston, VT 05673, USA. [email protected] 3 Cardno, Clemson, SC 29631, USA. [email protected] 4 Snowy Hydro, PO Box 332, Cooma, NSW 2630 AUS. [email protected] Key Points Regulation has caused important changes in the hydrologic regime of the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers in the reaches closest to Khancoban Dam. Field data on resistance of the banks was used in combination with BSTEM‐Dynamic to simulate bank erosion for unregulated and regulated conditions using a 32‐year time series of hourly flows. Regulation has led to changes in bank‐erosion rates with increases in the reaches closest to the dam and decreases in the reaches farthest downstream, the former related to greater flow durations that exceed erosion thresholds Abstract The Snowy Mountains Scheme provides for inter‐basin transfers of water and for hydro‐electric power generation in the upper reaches of the Murray River System. Since 1966, the magnitude, frequency and duration of discharges in the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers have been modified by the Scheme. Increases in mean‐annual flows following regulation were determined to be 127% in the upstream‐most reach on the Swampy Plain River, 68% above the confluence with the Tooma River and 16‐19% downstream at Jingellic.

  • Jingellic, Bogandyera and Clarkes Hill Nature Reserves
    JINGELLIC, BOGANDYERA AND CLARKES HILL NATURE RESERVES PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Part of the Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) July 2006 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 24th July 2006. Acknowledgments This plan of management is based on a draft plan prepared by staff of the Upper Murray Area of NPWS. For additional information or enquiries on these nature reserves, contact the Service's Upper Murray Area Office at Scott St, Khancoban or by phone on 02 6076 9373. © Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) 2006: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment ISBN 1 74122 097 1 FOREWORD Jingellic, Bogandyera and Clarkes Hill Nature Reserves are located on the south eastern highlands of NSW between the towns of Jingellic, Tumbarumba and the locality of Tooma. The reserves protect an area of previously poorly conserved south eastern highlands eucalypt forests. Recent studies have indicated a diverse range of communities including some threatened and regionally uncommon plant and animal species. Bogandyera Nature Reserve, which is dissected by Mannus Creek, conserves a regionally rare example of relatively intact riparian vegetation. Mannus Creek consists of a visually spectacular and unique water sculpted metamorphic rock river bed containing a number of rock pools and waterfalls. Three sites along Mannus Creek within Bogandyera Nature Reserve have been used intermittently for low key recreation including camping and fishing. The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 requires a plan of management to be prepared for each nature reserve. A plan of management is a legal document that outlines how a reserve will be managed in the years ahead.
