Fundraising Badge …

All members attending Main Camp will be asked to develop and plan a Task to work towards a Fundraising Badge. You will work in your Rides to decide on, arrange and organize a way of raising money, either by a side show ( tombola or a game), face painting, raffle, stall, entertainment of some sort, music, dancing, short sketch etc

This event will be held on the last afternoon of camp and will be open to all, so please support even if you are not attending camp, all the money will be given towards the Animal Health Trust which is the Pony Club Charity this year.

You need to start asking family, friends, neighbours, local businesses etc for prizes, cakes (put in deep freeze until needed), 2nd hand tack, riding wear or start making items yourselves, ask your farrier for used horse shoes and paint/decorate them, any thing you think may help raise money. The items can be brought to camp on the first day or during the week.

The Ride showing the most effort and working together with their chosen Project Manager (like the Apprentice) will all receive a prize.
