At the open shows points are awarded to the members in all classes, i.e. 6 points

member with the most points will receive a trophy & rosette at our awards
evening. The members prize can only be won once in each class. To qualify for
end of year trophies you must have a minimum of 30 membership points.
Membership points can only be earned by helping out with setting up the show
field or helping out at a club event. Without our members help we simply cannot
run these events as we are a very small committee and rely on extra help for the
club to continue.

It is the members responsibility to get their membership card signed and to sign
the secretary’s list at all non-comp events.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Setting up show field / stewarding/helping for ½ day 10 pts
Stewarding/helping for whole day 20 pts

Our nominated charities again this year are:
Firsland Animal Sanctuary
FIrsland Animal Sanctuary was founded in 1994 by
Maxine Corbitt. Originally envisaged as a stabling
business for horses, it quickly became a place where
people would bring unwanted pets, farm animals and
injured wild animals , because Maxine’s love and
compassion for them was well known. She did not
have it in her nature to refuse to help these poor creatures, which were often
aged, inform of the victims of horrific abuse and neglect. Today she looks after
over 170 animals including, ducks, chickens, geese, goats, horses, rabbits, cats,
dogs, gerbils and even baby seagulls.

With only a very limited income from stabling and the selling of eggs, Maxine has
had to fund her work from well wishers. This has, however, never been remotely
enough and all the shortfalls she has had to finance out of her own pocket. It
costs £15,000 per year or £1,250 per month just to keep the sanctuary afloat.

Torbay Bikers for Kids
We were surprised by the number of sick, disabled &
disadvantaged children in Torbay, the place where we
chose to live upon our retirement almost eight years
ago. But we were shocked by the lack of help the
parents of these children get.

In October 2017 we formed Torbay Bikers for Kids, a
charitable not-for-profit community fundraising group, and in the first 28 months
we have helped 69 sick, disabled or disadvantaged children by purchasing items
for them that will help improve their lives. Every child helped is featured on the
Facebook page and to date £15,881.36 has been spent on these gifts from the
funds raised. We absolutely guarantee that 100% of the money raised goes to
purchasing items for these children and nowhere else. We personally paid the
costs to set up TB4K and continue to pay all its running costs, although we are
seeking a Sponsor to do this.
Fundraising is extremely difficult and we dearly need your support as there are
so many local children who would benefit from our help.

**VET ON CALL FOR ALL SHOWS**

IN THE EVENT OF BAD WEATHER
Please call either 07454668606 or 07841594389 between 5pm & 7pm
 on the Saturday before the show.

 Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all
 the up to date information!

Of course you won’t need too……. It’s going
 to be beautiful!!
