MEMBERSHIP

Membership of WDRC brings numerous benefits: insurance, discounted goods, subsidised training and competitions, friendship and support to name a few! It also includes the capitation fee to HQ. We pay preliminary entry fees for all area competitions and if members qualify for championships, the club pays the entry fees. In return we expect each of our members to volunteer help for at least one of our fundraising events.

The 2022 membership fee is £12.50 for non-riding members, £23.00 for junior members and £28 for senior riding members.

Membership runs from Jan 1st to Dec 31st.

2024 Membership will be available to buy online from the middle of December 2023, Watch this space!

CLUB NEWS Will be sent out by email and also posted on our Facebook page and website. Information about the club, its committee, how to contact us, training dates, competition dates etc can all be found on the website.

E-MAIL Please remember to notify the secretary if you change your e-mail address. The majority of club correspondence is issued by e-mail. Notifications are placed on our website and Facebook page for reasons of cost and efficiency. Members have a special ‘members only’ Facebook page to give priority booking for training.

HELP The club asks that all members or a parent/guardian of younger junior members help with at least one function per year. This could be anything ranging from preparing sandwiches for judges, to helping erect rings, stewarding, judging, clearing away etc. If you have a particular skill – i.e. dressage judge/SJ course builder, please do let us know.

PLEASE NOTE: The club pays pre-entry fees for area competitions, and entry fees for those qualifying for the National Championships, providing they have helped with at least one club event during the year to raise the funds. We also pay for each 4th Mercian Entry (local unaffiliated league) for those who help raise the funds to do so by giving their time.

IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO HELP AND ARE HAPPY TO PAY PRE-ENTRIES PLEASE LET THE TEAM MANAGER KNOW WHEN A PLACE ON A TEAM IS CONFIRMED.

Horses belonging to those competing at BRC Area Qualifiers will normally need to be vaccinated in accordance with BRC regulations, and not on the day of competition or the six previous days. Passports should be available for inspection at each area competition and, by law, should travel with your horse at all times, other than for emergency veterinary treatment.
