Llysfaen District Christmas Activities

Flint and Denbigh Pony Club Llysfaen District Christmas Party – we are planning to hold a FAB Christmas Party on Friday 9th Dec starting at 6pm in the Sports Pavilion, Betws Yn Rhos – fun, games and Christmas munchies for all the family, and even a visit from Santa is planned. If you would like to attend the party please give your names to Aloma johnaloma@tiscali.co.uk or 01492-680653  by Thursday 24th November as Santa needs plenty of time to prepare the gifts for the children.

Christmas Novice Show Jumping Competition at Ystrad – Sunday 11th December, if you wish to take part in this event please get your entries in asap, as you are all aware the parking at Ystrad is limited, and priority will be given to the members who have paid their entries in advance. Schedule Attached … (F&DPC 2011 Christmas Novice & Beginner SJ Schedule).

Also we would greatly appreciate any help with stewarding; opening and closing the arena door, tack check, arena party (picking up poles)and supervising the warm up area, etc. If any parents or older PC members would like to come along and assist please let me know asap. Contact Laura: 01745-860571 or email:  p.owen79@btinternet.com

Can I take this opportunity to ask all parents to park sensibly so that we can accommodate as many competitors as possible on the day. Please remember to pick up your ponies droppings and not to leave your ponies tied to the outside of their transport, once you have finished your class please put your pony back in their trailer where they can safely munch on their haynet without making a mess on the car park.

Linda Soup’s will be the mobile caterers on the day, offering hot food and drinks for sale … please support them! We are also having a cake stand to raise money for our District, if possible please bring along  homemade cake/s which we can then sell as part of our fund raising.

Date change for Saddlery & Points of the Tack mini & achievement badge – we have had to change the date of this PC activity badge as our school Christmas concert is planned for Wednesday 14th December, this badge is now going to be held on Monday morning  19th December in Llanfair TH, Nr Abergele. If you are interested in doing this badge please would you let me know asap, so that I can order the badges in plenty of time & book the venue.
