Membership and Fixture List

Reminder that your Pony Club membership will need renewing by 1st February, unless you are a new member since 1st Sep 2015.

The Fixture List January 2016-May 2016 and Booking Forms have been uploaded to the website. Any updates will be sent out on the Weekly News, which is emailed out every Tuesday. If you are not receiving the weekly please let Fran know (newsletters@fndponyclub.org.uk). Some members have found that the Weekly News goes into their Junk Mail or Spam Box. Please check, and if this is the case you need to accept the email as Not Junk or Allow Sender. But the Weekly News is also always available on the website.

Please book into rallies and events in plenty of time so that the organiser knows how many badges, hours and instructors are needed. Payment must also accompany the Booking Form (Llandyrnog District does not use Booking Forms – email Iona to book in). A day or two before the event is NOT ACCEPTABLE. If you are unable to attend please let the Organiser know in plenty of time.
