RSVP EMAILS:
This is a new innovation: you should have received an email from your colour group coordinator. The importance of
this is to enable good rally planning, and so we don’t have our (mostly volunteer)
instructors attending PC
without being needed.
You just have to hit ‘reply’ to the email you will receive to say whether you will be there or not.
Alternatively you can RSVP via our new and wonderful website: www.mansfieldpc.weebly.com
Thankyou!
CARD ATTENDANCE:
Please remember to gain an attendance at a rally you must be there for a minimum of half a day and have 2 riding sessions.
If unmounted you are to be in Full Pony Club Uniform and help out at the rally, either by following your group and helping
the instructor or performing another helpful duty.
Please see the note below regarding the importance of a membership card.
The PCAV Club Member Card is the riders PCAV club membership record and establishes that the
rider is also registered with the PCAV.
The card must be kept up to date and accurately completed.
After the first year of club membership, members are required to keep two cards as their
membership record, preferably kept in the official PCAV vinyl cover.
Cards required are the current years’ card and the previous years’ card. Note that the colour
changes every year. All other years’ cards are to be removed from the cover and filed away by the
member.
It is the members’ responsibility to make sure that their card is up to date and accurately
completed before competing. Check with the D.C. to ensure it has been fully completed. details
printed. This is confirmation that the rider has paid in full.
Games & Flat Teams:
Keep in mind that straight after the New Year we will commence training for our games & flat teams which are held in May
each Year.
This involves usually at least one team of games and a flat team. The games team competes in several different novelty
events and scores points for each race giving an overall total at the end of the day. It is against all other clubs from our
North East Zone and a great way to meet people and have a bit of fun. Then if you are lucky enough as a team to finish in
the top 3 you get the opportunity to represent our club at state level in June.
The Flat team is made up of a team of 4 riders and they perform 2 different drill rides in the form of a dressage test. One of
the rides can be to music and costume. Once again can be a lot of fun.
An important note to remember is that if you are thinking of participating in a team, you need to make sure
you are qualified to compete on that horse. Ie. 2 rallies on that horse in the last 12 months and a 50%
attendance for the rider.
Any parents willing to take on a coaching roll/ team manager please contact someone from the committee, there will be
plenty of help and support with rules etc.
GRADING SESSION:
Anyone needing grading needs to email Anne prior to the rally to arrange a grading session ([email protected]).
Remember the showjumping day is coming up and you must have a current SJ grading on your new orange cards.
Colour Groups:
Please note you well not see colour groups in your rally plan from now on. Riders will be grouped for each rally as per your
RSVP, thus the importance of this reply to your coordinator.
Groups will vary depending on numbers attending the rally and availability of instructors.
So it will be extremely important that you read the newsletter and web page to keep up to date on rally proceedings.
Commencing next year, if you haven’t replied you will be given another task to complete at the rally, or you will be put
wherever there is room. It is your responsibility to keep informed.
C Star Candidates:
During the rally you may notice some other club members riding around. They are going to be participating in completing
their C Star Certificates, please make them feel welcome and good luck to all our senior riders completing theirs on
Sunday.
