Grounds and All-weather Arena- Waitara Pony Club reserves the right to postpone/cancel your event if ground conditions are too wet. The electric fence unit is situated just inside the door leading to the first bay of the equipment shed, beside the show jumping poles. If you feel it is necessary to turn it off, (the fence around the water jump can be disconnected at the jump), it is essential that it be turned on again at the end of your event.
Please pick up all manure from the all-weather arena after your event.
Clubrooms - You are expected to bring your own tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The instant water heater takes approximately 30 minutes to come to the boil after being switched on. The water heater switch turns on the water heater cylinder under the bench and feeds the hot water tap in the sink. As it is not economical to heat all this water just to wash the dishes, please use hot water from the instant water heater for this purpose. To ensure instant hot water heater does not overflow, please switch off immediately after use. Ensure that all other switches (water heaters, stove, microwave but not fridge) are turned off at the end of the event. Please take all rubbish away with you, from bins in kitchen, toilets and open bay area. Toilet areas are to be swept out, and toilets ,showers and hand basins checked to ensure they are clean.
Equipment- Please notify the secretary at the time of booking if you want to use any of our equipment. Equipment is sometimes loaned out for other events and may not necessarily be available. Please put all equipment away tidily in the designated areas. All damage must be reported to WPC and repairs paid for.
Leaving the grounds- Security of the buildings and grounds is essential. All internal and external doors, clubroom gates and ground gates must be locked, and the road gates left closed. Thank you for your support in this matter.
