MEMBERSHIP

Membership of W&DRC 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 and we pay preliminary entry fees for area competitions and when members qualify for championships, the club pays the entry fee. However, in order for the club to play the championship fees, we do ask each of our members to donate their time volunteering at one of our fundraising events.

CLUB NEWS Will be sent out by email and also posted on our Facebook page and our 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 PE-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 have had a vaccination within the twelve months prior to the competition, and not on the day of competition or the six previous days. The two primary vaccinations must be in order and annual boosters for at least the last five years. Passports should be available for inspection at area competitions (and championships) and by law should travel with your horse at all times other than for emergency veterinary treatment.
