TREASURERS REPORT:
1 I am pleased to report that all clubs have paid their affiliation fees, except for Callistemon, which, apparently, is not currently operating.
2 You will notice from the copy of the cash receipts book, that in September, we received a cheque for $2000 from BHP Billiton to match the volunteer work that Kay has done for the zone - thankyou to Kay for organising that.
3 Because I had a couple of bigger expenses before any camp money came in (such as $1629 for rope for the camp, and $805 and $261 for air fares), we were down to only $568 in our working account. One of the Term Deposits for $5761 (plus interest) matured on 14 September, so I had the total of that term deposit transferred to our working account, and we can re-deposit any surplus after all the camp finances are worked out.

NOTICES OF MOTION for 2010 AGM
Club affiliation fees payable to the Zone are based on a sliding scale depending on the number of members a club has.
Because everyone has not paid their club membership fees at the beginning of the year, when affiliation fees are due, I propose to move
"That club affiliation fees payable to the Zone are based on the total number of members the club has at the end of the previous year."
Also, as it has been at least 10 years since we last had an increase in zone event nomination fees, I propose to move
"That nomination fees for Zone 15 events be increased from $12 to $15 to help cover the increase in prices of ribbons, judges' travel, etc."

CAMP REPORT:
Zone 15 Camp Report 2009
September 20 was day one for our 2009 Zone Camp at Capella Showgrounds. On the Sunday evening 74 campers and 46 adults established camp in the grounds with a BBQ tea to get our week started. We had 10 instructors to teach the enthusiastic riders in a number of different facets of riding. For the first time the "led" riders were invited to attend camp and there were 11 rather excited riders together with those wonderful people who are the 'leaders' to try out the new concept.
Our riders came from Zone 15 clubs of Duaringa, Dingo, Blackwater, Comet River, Emerald, Springsure, Peak Downs, Dysart and Middlemount. There were other riders from Calliope, Wowan, Pioneer River Valley, Yeppoon and Gatton. These riders were all under the watchful eye of our camp commandant - James Dunne. I believe we hold one of the few 'true camps' in Pony Club.
Our instructors came from a variety of places to work with our riders. Gerald Sims was up from the Gold Coast to talk about equine teeth and to test our candidates who were sitting for their certificates. Steve Geary was our farrier and Alan Orr ran classes on making rope halters. Kerrie Conway was our brow Band gru and some very snazzy brow bands were soon on bridles.
Lisa Koopman had a new tack with those riders who let their horses nibble grass while in her group and she soon had them off doing 'push ups'. Lisa is a top instructor and it was all in good fun seeming to work with a number of riders! Krystell Schafferius and Clem Smith came up from Gatton and they brought out the best in our aspiring showjumpers. There was some good jumping to be seen by the end of camp. Both these instructors had to be back at the Gold Coast by Sunday to compete in a Mitavite event. Our thanks to Julie De Visser (Qld Mitavite rep) who visited for a day and she inspired our riders to look after their horses better with her discussions on various feed available and their nutritional values.
Margaret Campbell was at camp from Wowan and she is a wonderful person who inspired the green riders to achieve so much and improve immensely in the four days of camp. Margaret gave up the chance to strap at Melbourne Royal to come to camp and the friend she was to strap for won the Garry Owen. What a wonderful gesture from a true pony clubber.
Tanya Powell had her dad as a very capable offsider in her horsemanship classes. The kids all love going to her as she has such a fun way of teaching the essential basics. We had those sacrificing parents led by Wanda Gould to run our games lessons. This was where our led kids really loved to go as they were learning the fun way how to manage their horses.
The Aquatic Centre was very popular and each afternoon saw our riders bussed down to cool off and enjoy a little recreation time. We had our usual concert on the Wednesday night organised by Marina Crooks and our Presentations on Thursday evening after lessons finished. D and D* certificates were achieved by Claudia Gould (Dingo) Rachel James (Duaringa) Georgia & Rhys Yates (Springsure) Kealy & Sara Jeppesen (Comet River) Adrienne Geary (Comet River) Rachel Gould (Dingo) Casey & Zoe Bridgeman (Springsure) C certificates went to: Nicole Murphy (Dysart) Shannon Hancock (Peak Downs) Brooke Coyne (Dysart) and Jessie Smith (Gatton)
Georgia Lieppen (Peak Downs) won the Patron's Award for leadership/sportsmanship and horsemanship.
There were additional lessons on the Thursday evening and the Friday with Clem Smith instructing the showjumping and Pamela Schuller teaching dressage. Some riders not able to attend camp because of work commitments came to these lessons as well as campers who were able to stay on. The Zone tries to cater for the more advanced riders and to save travelling by having the follow on lessons. If you can utilise your camp instructors it is also a money saver for the Zone.
I would like to thank everyone who assisted with our camp in any way. Especial thanks to the committee James, Kay, Jenny Murphy, Jenny Ryan and Alan Orr. These people did a lot of work prior to and during the camp. It was nice to see other zones coming to the camp and it brings another facet to the week.
There were a number of problems regarding the catering which had to be sorted. We may not have had the ideal solution in the end but when people let you down and are most unreliable it does make the situation very difficult. I would like to make it clear to everyone that we had engaged a camp cook and were unaware that the person concerned was not going to fulfil his obligations until quite close to camp. My sincere thanks to Beth Shilvock for all her help and support regarding this matter. I would also like to thank Wendy Davidson from Dysart Club for all she did through out the camp.
The Dries family again contributed to the success of our camp and their support and friendship is something I cannot put a value on. They are just 150% people who are typical of what is so important to teach our kids. They just embrace the girls who go there making them an extended part of the Dries family becoming quite involved in their lives.
In conclusion I think it was a good camp and it was so nice to see such a number of new faces and sincere comments regarding the future of camp. Pony club needs to keep expanding and embracing to bring the members together and create the basis for our zone to move forward. Bonding and fellowship are such important issues to consider when people discuss the revamping of camp. Camp to me is the essential basis of moving on to higher achievements and extending to the many private lessons being made available to zone members; both by our zone and clubs and also the schools being offered in the neighbouring zones. Camp is original in its concept and I think it would be sad to see it become just another school.
Jennifer-R Smith (21 N0vember 2009)
Jenni Smith read her camp report.
Julie Jeppesen thanked Jenni and her helpers for the tremendous effort that they put into organising the camp every year for the kids. Julie said that she has received e-mail from parents saying how much their children enjoyed camp and how they have improved so much with their riding in that week of camp. There is an awful lot of voluntary time, effort and personal monies that goes into organising such a camp.
Jenni moved that her report be accepted, Seconded Kay Orr.

Guy Creighton Course building and Judges Clinic
14th and 15th Nov 2009
Numbers for the weekend were disappointing, considering so many people had asked for such a clinic to be held.
These clinics are invaluable whether you are already qualified, or just a fence sitter. With Guy's experience and stories you couldn't help but go away with so much more.
This weekend was excellent for those eleven attending, as they got a lot of one on one time from Guy that they may not have had, had there been more numbers.
Guy is very encouraging, and wants to see everyone expand their knowledge. One thing that I felt was most important, he wanted all the course building to be "your ideas" that he helped with. Not once did he tell people what their course should have been etc, it was "their" course, their ideas and he pointed out the good as well as the not so good.
The main points I felt he expressed were that as a course builder you want to see good jumping, with not traps, tests at higher levels, but no traps. You are responsible as a trainer, a confidence builder and having safety foremost throughout. Never being afraid to change something you don't like.
His advise was, the first thing to pack when going to build was your common sense and the thing to leave behind was your pride, keeping this in mind we all might better ourselves.
All attendees passed their Gymkhana level course building, and judging, but this means they have a probation period of twelve months to do two gymkhana's. So my suggestion is to all the clubs in the zone to help these people by asking them to build at your gymkhana in 2010, with help available if needed..
I will attach a list of those qualified and please help them and encourage them as Guy did.
The following passed their Gymkhana Course building and Judging;
Kay Orr Comet 48825124
Emma Bell Clermont 49831839
Shannon Prince Middlemount 49859304
Michelle Mason Peak Downs 0403 928983
Terry Moy Comet 49875267
Andrew Yates Springsure 49841595
Alana Stokes Emerald 49823504
Congratulations to these people and also thank you to the ones who came for a refresher;
Claudette Rolfe, Barbara Forster, Dave Pitt and Jenny Murphy.
I personally would like to thank those for attending and wish them luck in the future. Feel free to contact me at any time for advice if needed.

2009 CAMP - Fay Hawke thanked Jenni and Co for organising camp but thought things could have been organised and planned better. Fay would like to see camp continue but felt there were a number of safety issues. Things she would like to see changed:
" Groups too big (this was due to an instructor cancelling at the last minute)
" Riders groups changed (due to incorrect rider profiles)(Club CI not assessing properly)
" Cook ( a different one has been booked for 2010)
" Would like to see presentation time on timetable
" Change of time between activities
" Parent roster issues
" Dorm parents issues
" kids not being able to go swimming at allotted time (only the last swim time was changed)
Safety issues were:
" Swimming
" 2 hours trail ride was too long
" Groups over faced
" Non-riders
" Aerosol cans
" lighters
" Bikes/skateboards (banned for 2010 camp)
" Fire in dorm
" Inappropriate consumption of alcohol
Kay Orr suggested that for 2010, all paid riders are issued with a token for swimming as riders leave the bus and token is collected once in the pool grounds, (riders pool fees are built into their fees, all others need to pay their own way) one group leader instead of two and no preferred jumping/dressage.
Jenni Smith believed the led riders this year worked well and that Margaret Campbell played a big part in this.
There will be team penning on Friday morning of camp and after camp lessons are going ahead in 2010.
Jenni Smith said that the only complaints to her about camp are these from a member of Emerald Club which are the dot points listed in the minutes. Most have already been dealt with. There will be a post camp committee meeting prior to the AGM (not on the day of).
Grounds are booked for the 19th - 24th September 2010.
Fay Hawke moved that at the March 2010 meeting the cook, instructors and duties be presented and at the May 2010 meeting a draft of the timetable and activities be presented. Seconded Jeanette Fletcher.
