WORKING BEES & COMPETITION ASSISTANCE for 2010

All working bee hours performed must be emailed through for recording in the working bee Register or they will not be recognised.

Running events with 170+ horses creates too much work on the day for a few people to manage, so this year we are spreading the workload out a little more. This year the register includes a separate section to record the additional 2 hours of competition assistance.  This is only for assistance provided ON THE DAY, rather than prior to the event.  Work done prior to an event will still be counted as normal working bee time. 

If you provide more that 2 hours of competition assistance to the club, the extra just rolls into your normal working bee hours, so don't feel you have to stop after 2 hours!

To see your current working bee hours, please download the current Working Bee Register for 2010 (last updated on December 15th).
