Our AGM was held on 20 November, the minutes of the meeting will be posted on the website.

The biggest change to your club is a call for mandatory volunteer hours. In order for Pine Tree to be able to keep hosting events such as playdays, gymkhana's, the annual show, hunter/jumper shows, and clinics, we simply need more help! We are excited to have so many new people step up into board positions and offer their help at Pine Tree.

AGM this Sunday, 20 Nov 10:00am at the Barnhartvale Hall

EVERY position on the board of directors needs to be filled for the 2012 riding season.

  • President
  • Vice-President
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • 5 Directors

Every member of the club has a vote, and any adult member is encouraged to run for the above positions Over half of our current board of directors are standing down for various reasons, we need new people with new idea's to run the club. Some things we will be discussing/voting on at the AGM are: Membership fee's, playday and gymkhana fee's, other events such as the annual show, hunter jumper shows or clinics, how to get more help with the grounds and events - should we institute a mandatory volunteer hours policy per member. If there is anything you would like to see on the agenda, or present to the club, please either reply to this email or contact Jodi Daburger at zarazacres@gmail.com.

There are also volunteer positions that need to be filled for 2012 These jobs can be filled by directors, or, if you are willing to take responsibility for a job you can do so without being a director. Some of the jobs we need to fill are: Membership secretary, Saddle up Newsletter, Fundraising, Grounds Lease Coordinator, Clinic Coordinator, Grounds Maintenance.

We urgently need someone to run playdays. Krista, Jodi and Alison have run the playdays for the past two years, and none of them is able to continue for the 2012 season. If you want to have playdays in 2012 , please consider stepping in to this position.

We were lucky to have Tanya Epp from Optical Delusions take pictures at our banquet. Tanya has generously offered to donate proceeds from the purchase of banquet photo's back to the club. If you are wanting a photo from the banquet (or any of our playdays/gymkhana's or annual show) Please see the order info below.

I've posted the awards photos on my Facebook page (They don't have to be on FB to view images) if you want to share the link with all members that would be great. If you would like, I will donate all the proceeds from the sale of the photos back to the club @ $8/photo. To order send in image number (on bottom right below image will say _ of 187) and payment by Interact E-mail Transfer or cheque.
