If you are not going to attend a rally you must notify our DC – Sarah Moody by the
Monday prior to the rally. Please phone her on 0414 594 437.
You also must notify Sarah if you decide to leave during a rally as to gain attendance at a rally day you must attend for most of the day according to PCV by-laws.
If you wish to enter other pony club competitions, you must ensure you are graded for that type of competition and that your grading card is fully completed and up to date.
If you require grading you must fill in a request for grading form and give to Sarah. She will then try to arrange an assessment at the next rally. If you have any queries,
or need more information regarding how to enter competitions, what the different competitions are, gear rules etc. please contact Sarah or speak to a committee
member.
If you wish to use the grounds outside of rally days, there will be access to the clubrooms and toilets but no access to the kitchen, so please bring own drinks.
