s.leeholden@hotmail.com      I’ll  even  learn  how  to  include  any  photos  that  get  sent  in!  

Cheers,    Suzanne  Holden  

 

SPECIAL  GENERAL  MEETING.  

Please  remember  that  there  is  the  SGM  being  held  during  lunchtime  this  rally.  There  are  some  very  important  items  that  need  to  be  voted  on,  especially  the  Rules  of  Incorporation.  There  have  been  several  emails  sent  out  explaining  the  items.  Please  be  ready  when  called  and  prepared  to  “do  your  duty”!    

C  CERTIFICATE  

Congratulations  to  Kimberley  Machell,  Kate  Collinge  and  Courtney  Allison.  All  passed  their  C  Certificates  with  flying  colours.  Well  done  to  all!!  

 

WORKING  BEE  

A  date  has  been  set  for  our  working  bee.    It  will  be  held  on  16th  November  2013.    9am  to  12pm.    This  will  be  a  really  important  working  bee  as  we  have  set  the  date  for  our  Horse  Trials  as  30th  Nov  and  1st  Dec.  

MPPC  HORSE  TRIALS  

Talking  of  our  horse  trials  -­‐  it’s  going  to  be  huge!!!    We’ve  decided  to  do  it  over  2  days  rather  than  1  and  to  include  open  sections  as  well  as  pony  club.    This  should  greatly  increase  the  number  of  entrants  and  hence  profit  for  the  club.    It  will  be  hard  work,  but  it  should  be  a  really  great  fundraiser  and  after  everyone’s  efforts  at  Mini  

Mornington,  we  know  we  can  do  it!!    There  will  be  a  twilight  set  up  from  4pm  on  Friday  29th,  so  please  keep  that  weekend  free    

Every  member  will  need  to  help  out  where  possible.  All  entries  are  being  done  online  via  eventsecretary.org.au.    I  have  attached  the  event  flyer  with  all  the  details.    Please  spread  the  word  and  join  the  Facebook  page  to  be  kept  

up  to  date  with  all  details.  https://www.facebook.com/events/481694795260032/      

CANTEEN  &  OTHER  JOBS  ON  RALLY  DAY  

Please  make  sure  you  check  the  duty  roster  when  it  comes  out  to  see  when  you  are  rostered  to  help  in  the  

canteen,  toilets  etc.  

LUNCHTIME  MEETINGS  

Please  make  sure  you  attend  the  lunchtime  meetings  -­‐  adults  as  well  as  riders  as  there  is  always  lots  to  tell  you.    

We  are  a  relatively  small  club  this  year,  so  we  need  everyone  on  board,  helping  out  and  having  fun  together      

 

 

DO’S  AND  DON’T’S  FOR  PONY  CLUB  

DO  make  sure  that  your  horses  and  ponies  have  access  to  fresh  water  at  break  time  and  lunchtimeDON’T  ride  or  lead  horses  in  the  area  where  we  walk  into  clubhouse  and  have  our  lunchtime  meetings.  

DO  ride  at  a  sensible  speed  when  in  the  car  park  area.  

DO  make  sure  that  you  remain  at  pony  club  the  entire  time  your  child  is  there.  

DON’T  leave  another  adult  in  charge  of  your  child  without  writing  a  note  of  exactly  who  is  responsible  for  your  

child  in  your  absence,  including  their  contact  details.    This  note  must  be  passed  to  the  DC  in  person.  

DON’T  tie  horses  or  ponies  to  floats  that  are  not  attached  to  cars.    Most  horses  and  ponies  have  the  ability  to  pull  a  float  over  if  they  pulled  back  and  there  is  no  car  to  weigh  the  float  down.

UNIFORM  

We  go  by  daylight  savings  as  to  whether  it  is  summer  or  winter  uniform,  so  Summer  Uniform  for  this  rally  please.    If  the  weather  is  not  great,  you  may  of  course  wear  a  jacket  to  keep  warm.  

Summer  uniform  is  MPPC  polo  top,  same  joddies  and  joddie  boots.    In  the  cooler  summer  months,  you  may  wear  a  long  sleeved  white  T  shirt  underneath  the  polo  top.  

Jumping  vests  are  compulsory  at  MPPC  for  jumping  lessons.  

When  out  competing,  we  ask  that  when  competing  as  a  Team,  you  all  wear  the  same  uniform  for  each  phase.      

For  dressage,  it  is  traditional  to  wear  the  shirt,  tie  and  jumper,  however  the  polo  tops  can  look  incredibly  smart  when  tucked  

in  and  worn  with  a  belt.  

For  cross  country  and  show  jumping,  you  may  wear  either  the  summer  or  winter  uniform.  

We  have  been  advised  that  Rat  catchers  are  now  acceptable  to  wear,  but  that  XC  silks  may  only  be  worn  if  they  are  

predominantly  in  the  club  colours.
