Amateur Committee Hi Fellow Team Members It is that time of Year again, Memberships are due!!! The Show season will begin very soon for most of us, don’t miss out on hard earned points because you forgot to renew prior to competing. Please join and support the Affiliate Clubs, your membership money helps to keep these Clubs operating. Without our Affiliate Clubs organising shows, then valuable points cannot be gained. Offer a hand at Shows and Clinics; don’t assume the Committee Members love to do ALL the work. Remember- man y hands make light work!!! The term Amateur refers to Amateur, Select Amateur and Novice Amateur. AQHA Amateur Division Clinics for NSW and Victoria A link to the Survey Monkey will be sent regarding the upcoming Clinics. Amateurs must complete the Survey to reserve their riding position at the Clinics. Only Amateurs that have given permission for their email address to be accessed will receive the link. Amateurs that do not have an email address will need to access the information from the AQHA Facebook page. Only financial AQHA Amateurs will receive correspondence so that is why your renewal is imperative. All members receive information at the same time and riders responses are recorded on an independent timeline. Ensure AQHA has permission to release your email address and check that your address is correct. The survey link will be sent early September 2017.
