Barraba Pony Club in 2024

26th June 2024

Barraba Pony Club 2024

Barraba Pony Club (Established 1957) is gearing up for a busy end to 2024. The Jamboree Cycle for Zone 5 means that Barraba will be hosting the event on 8th and 9th October. Whilst the numbers of riders have reduced in recent years it is still a big event for a small Club such as Barraba to facilitate.

 We are currently auditing our equipment that we need to run the events on the program.  We plan to run a major raffle which will help offset the costs of running the event. Costs include judges (up to 8-10 over the 2 days) travel, accommodation and meals, Zone executive accommodation and meals, equipment upgrades, office/administration expenses associated with the preparation and running of the event.

There may be opportunities for Community Groups/Sporting Groups to run or help run a Canteen/BBQ either to benefit their own group or for a small donation from Pony Club if only time can be provided. We also need to provide a number of meals, and morning/afternoon teas for judges and officials over the 2 ½ day event.

Some of the things we need include: Marquees for judges (x 3), Hand held 2 ways for use over the 2 days. Unwanted (empty) 200 litre steel drums (900mm height) and smaller drums (600mm height) are also items that would be very useful. Donations of goods suitable for a raffle would be gratefully accepted.
