How To Join
Use the link above and select Adelaide Hills Dressage Club. Select Full or Half Year membership (Senior, Family or Youth) and follow the prompts. You are encouraged to nominate a helper day but when you assist us with pencilling for a day your $100 helper levy will be refunded. You may also pencil at additional competitions for the same $$$.
Non-members who pencil for us will also receive $100 for a full day's pencilling.
If you are unable to assist on your nominated day you may nominate another day. Members who wish to ride and not assist us for the year are requested to contact the Secretary and advise of such, in which case your $100 will not be refunded. The policy is designed to encourage members to assist us in a similar manner to other SA Dressage Clubs.

FOR MEMBERSHIP ENQUIRIES CONTACT THE SECRETARY: pretzel308@gmail.com or text 0429 190 653
ALL MEMBERSHIPS INCLUDE A $100 HELPER LEVY (refunded on your helper day). A day of assistance at a competition of your choice (selected during the joining process) is required for the refund of your Helper Levy. We require pencillers at all competitions - a great way to help out and learn as you pencil. You may nominate a friend or family member to complete the Helper Day on your behalf - please let the Penciller Coordinator know when she contacts you before the competition.
If you are unable to pencil or there are more Helpers who have nominated a particular day than we can accommodate, another job such as assisting with Gear Checking or collecting tests (a Runner) will be allocated.
