IMPORTANT

Waitara Pony Club Commitment

WPC can only function efficiently if it has the full support of all members and parents. The club offers many opportunities for riders to develop their riding abilities, including; instruction, theory and club representation at both local and national events. Maintenance and upgrades of the grounds and equipment is also part of being a member of the club. As with many clubs these opportunities are supported by a small number of parents, and as everyone leads busy lives these days it is becoming harder to get parental support.

The club needs members on its committee, and to help with club events. It also regularly runs working bees to keep the grounds and the equipment maintained and upgraded. We are lucky in our club to have the support from parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts of our riders, but to keep up with all the jobs in the club, to stop all the work falling on just a few people, and to lessen the need to fundraise and to give our riders the best opportunities, the club has imposed a $250 levy, with an out option.

This means that each family must commit themselves to assist at a minimum of 3 major events, 2 rallies and 2 club working bees that the club organises or participates in. This includes taking on jobs (either to set up the day before or at the event) at the Open and Closed Gymkhanas, One Day Events, and the Area activities we are assigned. Once a family has completed the 7 events/tasks in total, they do not become liable for the $250 levy. Of course there is no upper limit on the jobs a family can do!

This does not mean that the parents are the only family members involved – for instance, the help of senior riders or riders not participating at events are welcomed at the events organised. There are always jobs big and small that require someone to do them.

It will be noted who attends what events and at the end of the season families will be invoiced if they have not helped out as set out above. They will need to pay the invoice prior to the next seasonor risk their membership the following year.

This is to confirm that I ______as a member of Waitara Pony Club have read and fully understand the club rules. If it is established that I have not followed any rule, I will accept the decision of the Waitara Pony Club committee about the consequences. I also agree to abide by the Fair Play Charter as signed by Waitara Pony Club.

Please Note: this must be signed or membership will not be accepted.
