Reminder that all Flint & Denbigh Branch Camp Application forms need to be posted or emailed to the DC, Bethan Ll Jones, by Tuesday 14th May (today!). Camp Information evening is Tuesday 21st May at Cefn Village Hall for all the parents of members attending camp.
North Shropshire Mini/Beginner Triathlon
Please find attached the schedule and entry form for the beginner/mini triathlon which is being held at Packwood Haugh on 26th May. There will be special rosettes to all first time triathletes. Entries close on Monday 20th May. The pool is only 12m long so is less daunting for those who are more used to swimming widths, and for those under 8 years old, floats can be used.
Area 5 Summer Show
16th June at Mostyn Farmride, hosted by Aberconwy Branch. This show is open to every Pony Club member of Area 5, so come along and join in. Rosettes to 6th place and sashes for the highest placed member from each Branch/Centre. Overall winning Branch/Centre will be presented with the Show trophy. See attached schedule:
Volunteering at Pony Club Championships
Volunteers are the lifeblood of The Pony Club, and we are sending this activation e-mail to ask for your help and support at our biggest event of the year. To produce this event we need between 160 and 200 voluntary positions filled every day and therefore can’t deliver this fantastic event without your help.
The 200 roles include fence judges, pole pickers, tack checkers, scorers, collecting ring stewards, buggy drivers, start team, dressage writers, prize-giving helpers, mounted games linesmen and stewards – as you know there is a lot to do. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated, whether you are available for one day, multiple days or even half a day.
With such a wide variety of horses, ponies and young people represented at the National Championships, which happens straight after the Tetrathlon and Flannels Polo Championships, this is unsurprisingly the biggest week of the year for The Pony Club.
Please find this year’s provisional timetable available to download here or register your interest to volunteer
