Re. Rides and 'Helps' Qualification for SE Group
Trophies Scheme
Following formation of a new Group called Mid South the South East Group
committee have received several enquiries asking which rides and ‘helps’ will
qualify for the SE Group trophies and how the formation of a the Mid South
group will affect rides that now sit within the new group area.
We confirm that for this year, all the ‘old’ South East rides (i.e. those that
now sit within the new group area) will still count for the South East Group
trophies. In effect, it does not matter in which Group area they are
actually located. So, for helping and trophies the Mid South rides in
what was previously part of the South East group will be treated as "joint
rides", including Southdowns and Hornshill which are actually in the
revised SE area. In summary the SE trophy rules as printed and recently
sent out to SE Group members are correct including the list of rides eligible
for trophies and for helping.
We hope this helps to clear up any confusion and concerns SE Group members have
regarding this subject. However, do feel free to contact any member of
the SEG Committee if you require further clarification.
General rules applicable to qualify entry into the South East Group Awards Scheme.
Please read AND note.
1. In order for points/kilometres to count, the rider must be a member of the SE Group of EGB, subscribe to the Group’s newsletter and help at 2 or more rides/events in the Group (see help criteria set out in box below).
2.
All horses must be currently registered with EGB
and have a logbook (with the exception of The Pleasure Ride Trophy and The
James Cassar Headway Trophy ).
3.
All horses/riders start as of 1 January each year
with nil points/kilometres.
4.
A Group trophy record card will be issued to
Newsletter subscribers at the start of each season (send SAE to the Membership
Secretary with your subscription fee).
5.
It is the responsibility of the rider to complete
the Group trophy record card and to obtain the signature of the ride TS,
Organiser or Secretary at each EGB ride (all EGB rides throughout the
country). Rides without the appropriate
signature will not be counted, nor will any rides completed but not entered on
the trophy record card.
6.
Trophy record cards have spaces for rides plus
helpers lines. It is COMPULSORY for all riders
to help at a minimum of 2 South East Group EGB rides/events each year and this
will be deemed a qualification of entry into the Group scheme. Any
rider riding more than one horse has to help at a minimum of 2 SEG EGB
rides/events each year (and noted on subsequent horses cards that their help is
signed on 'x' horse's card). The
trophy card must be signed by the ride TS, Organiser or Secretary as proof of
helping at a ride. If more than one
rider per horse, then each rider must help with at least 2 SEG EGB rides/events
in order for the points/kilometres to count.
eg. if two riders
ride one horse, then in order for both riders points to count towards awards
and trophies for the SE Group, then the horse’s card must be signed to show
that each rider has helped at a minimum of 2 rides/events in the
SE Group.
HELP CRITERIA – PLEASE READ AND TAKE NOTE
One
help must be at an EGB SEG national ride, on the ride day only (ie. the rider
is giving up one riding day and the eligibility to earn mileage/points). EGB
SEG National rides in 2007 are: Tilford, Primrose, Southdowns Festival, Berkshire
Downs, Beachy Head, Plumpton, Hornshill,
The second help can also
be at an EGB SEG national ride on the ride day (as above) or can include
helping with the set up and taking down of a ride (eg. marking/demarking ride
route for whole day pre or post ride) or can also include helping at SEG
training rides, (SE training rides in 2007 are,
Hale Court, Frensham Vale, Easter Treat, Friston Forest, Black Knight) and at other
events/jobs including whole days at SEG seminars and other SEG training events,
running the SEG website, running the SEG Health & Safety Scheme, assisting
with trade/promotional events for the SEG.
A list of events will be
published by the committee during the year as they are decided upon. It is at the discretion of the committee as
to which events are to be included. The
committee also reserve the right to include additional events during the course
of the year.
Ride Organisers of EGB
national rides and SEG Training rides will be able to have their cards signed
for both 1st and 2nd help days. Entries Secretaries of EGB national rides and
SEG training rides will be able to have their cards signed for helping at an
EGB SEG national ride.
It doesn’t matter in
which order the helps are done, just as long as the rider has the SEG trophy
card signed to indicate that they have helped with at least 1 EGB SEG national
ride and 1 other SEG ride/event during the 2007 season.
