Sponsorship opportunities are available for our upcoming CIC event on the 30th September/1st October. Â Please see the NCHTA Sponsorship Document for more information, and share with any of your contacts that you think could benefit from exposure!
Seedlings galore!
Plans are afoot for the upcoming CIC – and there are 12 trays of seedlings that need to be potted out. Â Who wants to join me out at the park one day (soon!). Â No previous experience necessary – even those who think they lack green thumbs are welcome – the more the merrier!
Also – the flags need to be taken down from the XC course from the Eventer Trial.
Let Kate know if you can come out and help.
Canberra Event Schedule
For those who have opened your Eventer magazine and felt “oh no, there’s hardly any events with EvA80” Â – fear not – NCHTA are coming to the rescue and are making sure we can include it in the schedule!
Clinic cancelled
Sadly, Sam Griffiths has had to return to the UK, and will be unable to come to Canberra.
We hope that he will be able to come again later in the year. Â All entry fees will be refunded.

Rider Notes and Draw
Click here for the notes and draw. Please make sure that you read them before coming, but we are more than happy to answer any questions.  We really want everyone to have a fun day!
If you need to scratch, please let Kate know.
Draw nearly finished!
The draw is being finalized and will be available tomorrow.
The competition will start with the pairs cross country at 9:30am.
We encourage fancy dress but still wearing an approved helmet and a XC back protector.
Then the Eventer Trial part of the day will commence at approx 10am, starting with the 105cm class, then 95, 80 and 60.
The showjumping course will need to be altered between each class, so please help us with this so that we can finish the day earlier rather than later – many hands make light work.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
