Club Information

Uniform
Magenup club colours are navy blue and white. We have new white club shirts available for sale, however the old type are still acceptable and can be worn. We also have a couple of hats available, and in winter our navy polar fleece vests. All can be preordered or purchased directly if stock is available. Please see a committee member to purchase your uniform. Saddleblankets may also be available, for both clinic days and ARCA team. Whilst uniform is not compulsory we do encourage you to at least wear the club colours.

Trophies
There are several trophies awarded at the end of year Annual General Meeting (AGM). One of these trophies requires you to nominate for at the beginning of the year. This is the Jayne Phillips Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to a horse in its first year with the club. So if you are starting a new horse this year, or you are a new member, please ask for a nomination form. Points gained during the year at closed shows go towards winning this coveted award, in memory of a valued member of our club. Please note: members must attend 3 clinics to be eligible for trophies.

Membership Cards
2008 sees the introduction of Membership Cards which will be issued upon joining the club. Keep these cards with you at all Magenup events, as for each clinic and show attendance, set up, pack up, and each time you wear full club uniform, you will receive points towards a new Hi Point Club Member which will receive a gift voucher at the end of the year, again presented at the AGM. Please make sure that at each clinic or show you see 1 of the office bearers of the committee, to have your cards signed off. They will be collected at the end of the year for tallying up. These cards are your responsibility and if lost your points tally will go back to zero, so please take care of them!

ARCA
ARCA is Adult Ridings Clubs Association of WA. ARCA holds 3 or 4 Inter Club Challenges each year, which your MARG membership entitles you to compete at. There is several other adult riding clubs that belong to ARCA. They hold gymkhanas – which includes hacking, jumping and games, an ODE and a dressage competition – which also includes a club quadrille!! They are held by different clubs at their own grounds. If you wish to compete at the Inter Club Challenges, full MARG uniform is compulsory to be worn by all members at all events, and you will need to pay an entry fee for each competition you enter.

Equine Influenza
Please note that until further notice from Dept of Ag, to comply with EFA policy, at ALL Magenup events, be sure to fill in and bring along your EI declaration form.

Float Parking
Please observe the signs for where you may park your float for the convenience of all members.

Washing horses
We have hoses available to wash your horse in the wash-down area. If no-one has put them out, please come to the clubrooms and ask a committee member for them.

Hard hats/footwear
Our insurance cover insists on Australian standard hard hats being worn at all times when you are mounted, in and out of the arena, and suitable footwear being worn.

Spectators
If you are coming down to spectate for the day, you are most welcome! However, please stay outside the arena fence to comply with our risk management policy requirements.
We welcome you to our club, and hope you enjoy yourself!
