HCD
Team Form Headway Team Form
General rules applicable to
qualify for 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, on
the reverse, helper’s lines. It is
COMPULSORY for EACH RIDER 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.
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 rides a horse, then each rider must help with at least 2 SEG EGB
rides/events in order for the points/kilometres to count. e.g. 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. However,
if any rider is riding more than one horse, then that rider still only has to
help at a minimum of 2 SEG EGB rides/events each year (but it should be noted
on subsequent horses cards that their help is signed on 'x' horse's card).
HELP CRITERIA – PLEASE READ AND TAKE NOTE
One help must be at an EGB
SEG national ride, on the ride day only (i.e. the rider is giving up one riding
day and the eligibility to earn mileage/points). EGB SEG National rides in 2008
are: Primrose,
Southdowns Festival, Beachy Head, Tilford, Plumpton, Ashdown Forest, Windsor
Park, Firle Park, Bramshill Forest, & Devils Dyke.
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 (e.g. marking/demarking ride
route for whole day pre or post ride) or can also include helping at SEG
training rides, (SE training rides in 2008 are, Brendon, Swingfield,
Hale Court, Friston Forest, Black Knight, Pevensey Levels & North Downs) 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.
The committee will
publish a list of events 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 2008 season.

About Headway and the trophy
donated by Anthony French
In 1999, the national
organisation adopted the name it is known by today- Headway- the Brain Injury
Association. It has grown to support over 100 groups and branches throughout
the UK and is the national focus for highlighting the issues that people with
brain injury face, lobbying Parliament and initiating campaigns.
James Cassar has a fund set up in his name to raise
monies to help establish a new day centre for Headway Tunbridge Wells and
