Update to team selection procedures - December 2007

Traditionally, the club have paid for team entries and charged a nominal "match fee" at the discretion of the committee.  The disadvantage of this is that the club has ended up paying out for teams which sometimes do not materialise for one reason or another and over the year this works out quite expensive and not a very good use of club funds.  We have decided that we will try the following team selection process: 

• Club members will be advised of forthcoming team events and the requirements. 
• Members who would like to compete in the team fill in the attached application form and return with a cheque for their share of the entry fee (i.e. a team of 4 at £40 would be £10 each) payable to Foresters Riding Club with a copy of the relevant vaccination certificate (if applicable). 
• The team manager will then select the team(s) and notify the successful applicants.
• Members not selected will have the option of staying on a reserve list.  Cheques for members not selected or who do not compete will be destroyed or returned (if SAE enclosed)
• You must be a fully paid up member by the close of entries before you can represent the club.  Membership forms are available on the website: 
   
  We hope this system seems fair, and hope that it will prevent the endless phone calls and uncertainty of people's intentions.
