Pony Club Renewal Form 2012 is Attached (Renewal Form 2012) …

Your pony Club Membership & Insurance needed renewing BEFORE 1st January 2012.
You will not be allowed to attend ANY Pony Club Event, Hunt or Compete as you have not renewed your membership.
Can I ask you all to make sure you complete the Gift Aid slip at the bottom of the application form. I have received some with that section not filled in.
On a payment of £58 HQ are able to recover £14.50. You are entitled to sign the Declaration if you are an Income Tax payer or a Capital Gains Tax payer, and it will cost you absolutely nothing.
Many Thanks
Iona Pierce

PS. If you are NOT RENEWING please let me know.

Appeal to all members …

Could I please ask all members to

  1. BOOK IN as early as possible to all Pony Club Events. Rallies, Fun Days, Badge Days, Competitions etc.
  2. Let the organiser of the event know in plenty of time if you are unable to attend. You may still have to pay if the groups have been sorted and Instructors Booked etc. Do not wait for them to contact you.

We have over 300 members in the Branch at the moment. If you Book In early the organiser then knows how long the venue needs to be booked for, how many in each group, how many hours to book an Instructor and is easier for Team Trainers to sort Teams for a competition.

Take a look at your Fixture List and BOOK IN now for any events you would like to attend. It will help to make all the organisers work a little easier.
Thank you

Please Note: All members need to attend at least 3 Rallies

A District Commissioner may at any time recommend to the Branch Committee that they end the membership of any Branch Member who, in their opinion, shows insufficient interest their Branch.
