Helper and Rally Duty
Helper Duty
Every member is required to help 2 half days at competitions or working bees in addition to at least one Rally Supervision and Set up Duty (see below). Members are welcome and encouraged to do more but this is the minimum we require.
Competition day pack up is an all-hands-on-deck effort by members and is not part of helper duty allocation. Members riding in the competitions are expected to help, you will be allocated a job around riding times.
Helping at events and working bees is an opt-in online process. You must opt-in online prior to the event and not just show-up on the day and offer to help.
Members who do not fulfil their full helper requirements will not be accepted by Committee as members the following year.
Rally Duty
All of our members are required to be a Rally Supervisor and Set Up Officer each membership year.
This is a half day commitment, on a date selected by you as a mandatory step in the online membership payment process through Event Secretary.
Members can choose either morning duty from 8:15am to 11:30am or afternoon duty from 11:30am to the end of the rally at around 2:30pm.
The tasks are as follows, but not limited to –
- Picking up of Rally Basket by the Wednesday evening of the week prior (for Wednesday rallies pick up by Monday evening)
- Opening procedure and closing procedure
- Safety Supervisor – fill out incident reports of any falls or incidents on the day
- Taking care of our instructors with drinks, lunch, etc
- Providing lunch. This involves pre purchasing and bringing on the day. Keep your receipt to enable a full refund.
- Tasks as allocated by the committee of cleaning, etc during the day
- Manure pick up from wash bays, arenas and ensure everyone takes their manure home from the car park
- Answer questions from members and visitors to the rally as we often have member enquiries on rally days
- Ensure the safety, fun and connection of our members on the day
Members riding on their Duty day must ride outside their duty times.
Rally Officer duties are compulsory as a member of PHRC.
