Membership Fees
Annual membership commences on the 1st of July and ends on the 30th of June. The majority of the membership money goes straight to Adelaide to pay insurance. For the 2011/2012 financial year the fees are as follows:
Riding Member under 26 years of age: $140
Riding Member 26 years of age & over: $120
Non Riding Member: $30
Visitor: $40
(covers 3 rallies or 3 months)
(new members only)
The fees have been increased due to ground maintenance (mowing and spraying) costs.
Due to the poor attendance at Working Bees, a $20 Refundable Working Bee Contribution per member/family has been added to the fees. This fee will be refunded at the end of the financial year if the member and/or family has participated in at least one Working Bee.
A part payment of $70 (riders under 26 years) or $55 (riders 26 years & over) is the minimum that must be paid before riding at any rallies or competitions.
Families with 3 or more members riding at Pony Club are eligible for a concession. Fees for the third and subsequent members will be half price.
