Sneak peek at some of the jumps

Don’t forget that here in Canberra we use slightly different colours on our XC jumps – red and pink fade and look very similar!  Click here for the link to the XC maps

So we use red/pink for the 1* (or 105 or Prenovice depending on what language you use!)

For the EvA95 we use white numbers:

For EvA80 we use blue:

And for the EvA60 we use orange:

2* are yellow (which is the same everywhere!) but here’s a photo so those riders don’t get envious:

Delay for publishing the draw

Gremlins got into Kate’s computer – and no external back up of the draw was made – so the draw is being prepared again.

I am very sorry for the delay and hope to get it to you ASAP.

The almost endless list of jobs…

With 31 days to go it’s probably a good time to look at the do to list for the event.

If you were wondering how an event gets up and running, and you see something that you can help out with – please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me! (by email or whatever takes your fancy!)

Some of the tasks in the lead up to the event include:

  • a team of people to help put the dressage arenas up (luckily we only need to build two – but we like to divide up the warm up arena as it can get a little chaotic in there! and the letters need to be put around the 3 permanent arenas.
  • flag and number the XC course
  • whipper snip around the XC jumps
  • decorate the XC course
  • lane the XC course where the tracks go past the water jump and into the Cotter Plots so riders don’t go the wrong way!
  • moving the sprinklers on the sand arenas (does anyone have a spare sprinkler or two? – big ones, not pathetic little ones!)
  • collecting the winners rugs from Horseland and taking them to the embroidery shop in Fyshwick, then collecting them once they’ve finished and bringing to the event.

Friday 15th March:

  • shopping at Costco for all the food for our volunteers – you will need a big car and several people – Lauren and I filled the ute with the two trolley loads and we didn’t get everything!
  • putting all the signs around the venue
  • putting all the rubbish bins out
  • collecting the programmes from KwikKopy in Phillip
  • cleaning the toilets (someone has to draw the short straw – and thank you to those who have done it in the past!)
  • getting all the folders for the dressage judges, show jumping officials and XC jump judges ready
  • set up the secretary/officials marquee – all the tables and chairs need to be moved from the shed down into the marquee.
  • put the boundary chain around the show jumping rings
  • help the SJ course builders with the two show jumping rings

THEN there’s the painful task of packing it all up again!  Sadly we don’t have a public holiday on the Monday – so we will try and do as much as we can on the Sunday afternoon – assuming we have any puff left!

So please don’t be shy – we are a slightly crazy but nonetheless awesome group of people, but don’t let that put you off!
