Working Bee Expectations
Our club is run purely by members and volunteers. This means we rely on each and every one of our members and it is a condition of membership that you agree to attend (or arrange for assistance) at working bees. Generally Huapai Pony Club working bees are to prepare for events that our club hosts, but can also be for general maintenance and upkeep of the grounds.
To run a great event can take a great deal of time, but if every member and their family help the required tasks will get done quickly. If you cannot attend a working bee you should contact a member of the committee who can allocate a job for you to do at a time that suits.
Often families that are new to the world of horses or pony club think they aren’t much help at a working bees – but be assured your attendance at our working bees is greatly appreciated and it won’t be long before you are the one showing new members the ropes at future working bees!
A working Bee Levy of $200 is charged to all new members upon registration. This Levy is held as a bond and is refundable if and when the member leaves the Branch. Members are required to attend 75% of Working Bees each season. If this does not occur then the fee is payable every season & is non refundable.
Event Day Rosters
In addition to working bees, members are also required for the smooth running of the event. The committee or event organizer will prepare a roster to ensure that there are enough helpers for the event to run. If there is a particular job that you would like to do, please let the event organizer know so it can be assigned on the roster.
Specialist Skills and Other Help
We also need volunteers who are able to provide specialist skills to support the club. If you or your family members have any skills that may help our pony club, please talk to one of the committee members.
