As you all may have heard I’m taking over from Susan MacRae the Area II Year End Points tracking in 2009. It will be a tough job to fill those BIG shoes! But I’m ready for a different challenge!
The 2009 Registration is now open so go ahead and join! Have some added fun for 2009! Remember this program differs slightly from the National program, so it’s a good idea to read the rules and review eligibility, how points are calculated, fees, and deadlines. The 2009 Forms are available on the forms menu to the right.
Don’t forget, the program has a “Volunteer Incentive” component. Our sport can only exist with everybody pitching in as a volunteer, this can be by volunteering fence judging, scoring, scribing, set up, take down, stuffing packets, or really just about anything directly relating to eventing. The total hour requirement can be completed in any variety of ways. For example, volunteering for 1 day at an event, or 2 half days at different events. So when you plan your 2009 competition calendar, schedule to do some volunteering of at least 8 hours during the current calendar year, preferably at an Area II recognized event. All you have to do is contact an organizer to find out how you can help. They are waiting for your call! On a personal note, don’t forget to thank the volunteers on competition day!
It is the rider’s responsibility to check this website during the season and verify that the points shown are accurate. It is also the rider’s responsibility to submit any “out of area” points as those are not tracked automatically. All of the points tracking are done manually, and mistakes can be made, so please contact me with any possible discrepancies.
So go ahead and send in your Area II Year End Points registration form soon to get in on the program! Plan now for the 2009 Awards Banquet to come claim your prizes! In the meantime should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
