Adult Requirements
All adults that accompany a rider to rallies on a regular or semi-regular basis must be registered as a Club Supporter and must have a current working with children’s card.  It is expected of all members and their families that they will help with the general running of the Club at each rally. This would include things like helping set up and pack up equipment, helping keep the Club rooms and toilets clean, removing horse manure from the sand arena etc. Many hands make light work and this helps spread the load off the general committee who already have a large workload behind the scene to keep the Club running.
