SGVPC Grounds hired this Sunday
The SGVPC grounds have been hired to the Samford Carriage Drivers Association this Sunday 20 May 2012. There will be no access to the grounds for our members. The SCDA will be setting up the grounds from 2pm on Saturday so if you plan to ride on the grounds this Saturday please keep out of the way.
Lights
The club is pleased to announce that the lights on the grounds are now fully operational. The lights will automatically turn on every Tuesday & Wednesday from 5 - 7pm and Thursday from 5 - 9pm. The lights in the stables and the lights that point down over the parking area behind the stables are on a 20 minute timer which you will need to press the button for inside the stables. A huge thank you goes to those who helped with the trenching and to Selina for organising the grant for the lights. The lights are a great advantage to riders especially in the winter months.
SGVPC Official ODE
Thank you to all the volunteers & judges who helped out over the weekend. A huge thank you also goes out to the event organising committee as without this team the event would not have happened. It has been a number of years since we've been able to host a full ODE due to wet weather. Finally we got through it & with perfect weather. We hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. The final results can be found here.
2012 PCAQ Personality Quest hosted by Zone 1

Please take the time to have a look at the form & the conditions of entry, it is a very worthy cause & because Zone 1 are the hosts it would be great to see Samford members participating as part of Zone 1.
