FRIDAY 15th JUNE IS THE VERY LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR CAMP…

If any one is still having problems registering on line, please email me and I will send you the camp form by email to print off and return to Bethan Jones DC by Friday.

PARENTS OF MEMBERS ATTENDING MAIN CAMP

Camp runs for Five days. A number of parents have only volunteered to help out on Monday pm or Friday. These two days are when you need to drop off or pick up the members. Camp needs volunteers for ALL 5 days or we will not be able to run it.

On Tuesday 19th June, camp enrolment evening, I shall have a duty roster with many spaces to fill. Please ensure that you put your names on the lists or pay the penalty of £50.

NIGHTWATCH – If there are not enough parents to do this duty, members will have to come in daily.

Thanks … Bethan Jones DC

XC FENCE JUDGES NEEDED AT THE AREA 5 HORSE TRIALS at SOMERFORD on SUNDAY 1st JULY.

As in previous years, our principal need is for cross country fence judges and we are therefore again asking Area 5 Branches to “Adopt-a-Fence”. The idea is that your branch would adopt one (or more!) fences by committing to provide fence judges for that fence throughout the day. You would be contributing to this prestigious Area event and would be able to advertise your own Branch at “your” fence by displaying banners or signs – in keeping with the type of event it is, of course – which promote your catchment area or Branch.

If you are able to help at all, please contact Bethan Jones DC bethan@jones-bros.com
