VicHealth Grant
I am pleased to advise that our
Club has been successful in its
application to VicHealth for a
$2,500 grant for the purchase
of show jumping equipment.
We are most grateful to
VicHealth and my sincere
thanks go to Christine Cellante
for making the application.
She’s becoming quite an
expert.
As part of the grant process,
Andrew Garland, Christine and
myself were required to attend
an evening workshop where
we ‘brainstormed’ with others
about the issues of running
clubs and volunteering. So we
might be trying out some new
ideas on you all.
New Fundraising Team
While I am busy thanking
people, I must also express my
gratitu de to ou r n ew
Fundraising Team comprising:
Fiona Deacon, Kirsty Wallace,
Alison Hee and Joan Kay.
These four ladies have kindly
agreed to take on this
important role for the Club by
tackling it in a team effort.
Let’s support and get to know
them better. They take over
from Caron Tunnard who
most ably and quietly worked
hard behind the scenes over
the last year. My sincere
thanks Caron.
Dressage Day & my turn
to Gripe
Our annual Dressage Day is on
Sunday 28 August, which will
replace our usual rally. This is a
fun day and if you are new to
competing, it’s a good
opportunity to give it a go.
Entry forms will be available
on our website shortly. As we
will be limiting the number of
entries in some of the grades,
make sure to enter early.
A working bee is set for
Sunday 14 August where we
expect the majority of our
members to attend, as it is
part of your membership
duties. A list of jobs will be
available on the day for you to
choose from and make sure
you mark your name off when
you attend.
Now for the gripe. At the last
rally, several members did not
turn up to the rally yet they
were due to work in the
canteen. Can I stress that you
must check in the newsletter
when you are scheduled for
duty and turn up accordingly.
(Or swap with someone else)
Because of this, the
Duty Roster on page 3
has been amended
again—so please check
it for your name. From
now on, we will have an
Attendance
Duty
Roster
on
the
noticeboard at each
rally. Make sure that as
you do your duty, you
write in your name to show
you’ve attended.
Something Unusual ...
Last month I called for
members to let me know if
they had done something a bit
unusual for them. Well I know
that Nicola Johnson-Clarke
did: she decided to shave her
head (a #3 buzz) to raise
money for the Leukaemia
Foundation's World's Greatest
Shave fundraiser. The
Leukaemia Foundation uses the
money raised to provide
support services for leukaemia
patients & their families. Nicola
raised over $1600, with the
wonderful support of family,
frien ds & h er sch ool.
Incredibly, she had her hair
shaved at school, in the middle
of the Assembly Hall,
surrounded by 400 Montrose
Primary School kids & lots of
family members!
Great effort Nicola!
Until the next issue, stay
warm, keep safe and happy
riding, Ria
Look who’s on duty this month ...

D.C Report
Well the
cold and wet
weather has certainly arrived
and between that and the
shorter amount of daylight, the
horsey people in our house
are finding there is a bit more
organization and motivation
required to get the horses
worked and fed and all those
extra rugs pulled off and on.
We spent a day cleaning out
the tack room doing a rug
sort. In between dancing
around squishing spiders, bugs
etc. we managed to sort them
into three piles: the beyond
help throw away pile, the pile
to be sent off to the rug repair
lady and the much smaller pile
of ready to wear rugs. I always
try and keep some of the old
rugs as spares for each horse
just as a back-up if their good
ones need to dry out or get
repaired. It saves a last minute
(and wallet draining) dash to
the shops if something
unforseen happens.
We have the finalized
dates for “C” certificate
testing with the theory/
written on the evening of
the 3rd of August at
Ringwood Pony Club and
the ridden/horsemanship
on the 6th at Seville Pony
Club. Don’t forget you have
the “C” camp on the 15th
and 16th of July, which will
include a practice exam so
you know what to expect
when
faced with the real
thing. (There will be lots of fun
stuff as well.) I know you will
all do wonderfully. If you don’t
already have one we have a
few copies of the “C” manual
available from the uniform
shop at $15 (well worth it) and
we also have some of the “D &
D*” manuals also at $15.
These
are
PCAV
recommended and a great easy
read for kids with lots of
pictures and diagrams.
Something that was brought to
our attention at a recent NMZ
zone meeting was a ruling that
Cross Country Colours/Silks
must be made in your Club’s
colours. They can be any
design you like but if it is a
pony club event they must
be Seville colours (Maroon
and white.) Please keep this
in mind if you are thinking of
purchasing a set for the new
season. Something that was
suggested by one of our senior
members was the purchase of
rugby tops in Seville colours
for this purpose. If you are
interested let me know and we
may be able to do a bulk
order.
Some changes to rally
groups this month as we
have new members starting
next rally and I am in the
process of placing them. We
also have our “C” and “D*”
groups running so some
groups will be combined.
Any queries regarding rally
groups or if you would like to
be graded please send me an
email or txt BEFORE the rally,
as you can appreciate we have
in excess of 80 members and I
can only see so many in one
day. Nicky will be doing some
testing at this rally and will
have spoken to and given you a
time if you are on her list for
this month. Please excuse
yourself from your group 10
mins before and be ready for
Nicky. You cannot change your
allocated time. If you would
like to sit for the D or D*
certificate send me an email
and I will put you on the list
for an upcoming rally.
Finally, to our members not
returning to Seville pony club.
I hope you take with you fond
memories and lasting
friendships. Good luck on your
chosen path and all the best
for the future. And to all our
members sitting exams over
the next couple of weeks,
good luck, we will be thinking
of you.
Stay safe, have fun, Tracey.
