Membership

Members

Although a relatively young Branch, Eyreton Pony Club has had three members achieve their full 'A' certificate and several riders have completed their 'H' certificate. Other members have been part of the Canterbury Area Eventing Championship, Dressage Championship and Show Jumping Championship teams, South Island Games team and Inter-Pacific teams. We have also had one rider represent New Zealand in Show Jumping.

New Members

New members (under 25 years) are welcome year round. We have groups from lead rein up to riders working towards their B, H and A certificates. Please see the Notices and Newsletters page or Eyreton Pony Club's Facebook page to find out when our rallies are on.

If you wish to become a member you will need to complete the New Member Enquiry Form below. Your application will then be discussed at our next committee meeting and our Membership Secretary will be in touch with you after that date. Whether your application is successful or not will depend on how many members we currently have in the age group / riding level of your rider. If your application is successful you will then be invited to come to three rallies. If you then decide you wish to join you need to sign up to EPC via the NZPCA database (our Membership Secretary will email this link to you). Once subs are paid to both EPC and NZPCA, you are enrolled.

Subs

Subs are set at the AGM, held in March. The amount of subs are reviewed each year and are currently $175** for first child, $150 for the second child and $120 for each subsequent child. Any rider under 18 must be accompanied by an adult member. Adult members are $20 and this is paid directly to NZPCA. Our membership year runs 1st April-31st March. Between 1st August and 1st February all riding member's subs go down by 33%. Riders who have not paid their subs are not eligible to take part in PC rallies, other activities, certificates or team competitions. Three rallies are allowed before a membership payment is required.
** Note: In addition to Eyreton Pony Club subs, EACH rider is required to pay $45 NZPCA subs + $20 parent / guardian subs. This is paid via the Nominate database when signing up.

If you have not attended a minimum of 5 rallies and 3 working bees then your membership request will not be accepted the following year and ground membership may be more applicable.

Subs are used to fund Branch activities and equipment, with part also going to the Mandeville Sports Club as levies.

In order for our events and rallies to run successfully we are dependent on parental support. It is expected that all parents will help out at one working bee per One Day event run by the club (end of June). Parents are also expected to do a job on the event day itself.
