Branch AGM
Thank you to all the parents and members who attended the Branch AGM at Brookhouse Mill last Thursday. It was great to see so many of you there. Thank you also to the members and former members who shared their memories and experiences of Pony Club with us. I hope you all enjoyed the evening.

Dressage Update
This is a brief rundown of what we, at Dressage, have been up to since last January 2019:
- 29 rallies have been held with many instructors, who I would like to thank: Megan Roberts, Paul Davies, Kate Carman, Rosemary Clarke. Main venue has been Fferm, Bodelwyddan, wish to thank Ricky and Helen Proffitt for allowing us the use of their ménage.
- We had members at grassroots, novice and intermediate level at Area Competition held at Llandyrnog.
- Faye Jones qualified for grassroots championship.
- Twm Cernyw qualified at novice and Amber Bellis at intermediate at the age of 11, which was amazing. Well done all.
- We had an excellent Training Day at Whitegate Farm in the October half term and will hopefully have another one in the Easter Holiday.
- There are two prizes, between three boys: Osian and Jac Roberts for the most Dressage Rallies attended; and Nathan Cooper for the best improved rider.
I am looking forward to this year and would like a team at all levels of dressage, even the Open.
Date for your diary: Area Dressage 12th of July at Llandyrnog again, so no holidays until you’ve competed
For Area Competitions and Camp 2020
Update from 2020 Rule book: Ponies must have been regularly ridden at a minimum of 3 Working Rallies of the Branch by a member of that Branch since July of the previous year and 1 of which must have been in the current year.
Area 5 of the Pony Club Respect Code of Conduct for Riders, Parents/Carers, Spectators, Instructors, Team Managers, Judges, Stewards and other Officials
Following concerns expressed by a number of branches relating to the behaviour of a small number of individuals at some inter-branch events, it was decided that the Area should formulate a good-behaviour policy which would apply to all persons attending any Pony Club organised event. This code was unanimously adopted at the Area 5 District Commissioner’s meeting on the 23rd May 2011.
Members and guest riders
We all have a responsibility to promote high standards of behaviour in the sport. As a rider, you have a big part to play. That’s why all branches in Area 5 are asking every member to follow this Respect Code of Conduct. I will:
