CLUB MEMBERSHIP – AN EXCITING NEW £30 GRASSROOTS MEMBERSHIP LAUNCHES
Thursday 02 June 2011
British Showjumping are pleased to announce that their exciting new ‘Club Membership’ launches today (1st June 2011) and is aimed at grassroots competitors whom currently compete at 70cm – 1.00m.
The objective of Club Membership is to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where riders will participate for points, not prize money and all results will be graded fully so that a full performance record is held for each horse/pony and their rider. Points will be allocated to each competitor placed within Club Shows and accumulated for a Regional Championship summer show.
Riders do not have to compete in their own region to accumulate points and the membership will be sold as a competitor package from just £30.00!
There will be both a Horse and Pony Club Membership and the good news is, that there is no age restriction on riders competing ponies. Within each of the Horse and Pony categories there will be four height based classes; 70cm, 80cm, 90cm and 1.00m.
Sitting behind each of the classes will be a points system with league points being awarded to competitors placed at Club Shows. The incentive for accruing league points is that the top forty horse/rider combinations from each of the four height categories will then be invited to compete at a summer Regional Championships .
Club Membership Shows will be running the length and breadth of the country giving you the opportunity to compete at professionally run shows with inviting and well thought out courses. In addition to this you will have the assurance of knowing that you have a wealth of experienced officials ensuring your day is as enjoyable as possible. You also have the security of knowing you have a £30m Public Liability Policy covering you for any horse or pony you handle or ride.
This in addition to your detailed performance record that British Showjumping will keep online for you to access at any time of the day or night makes ‘Club Membership’ an extremely unique offering that should not be missed.
