Grounds Bookings
Contact the Bookings Officer if you wish to organise a clinic, event or ride on the grounds on a non-event day.
Scheduled events and clinics are on our Calendar. Some events can run in conjunction with others – please talk to the Bookings Officer if the date for the event or clinic you want to run clashes and is difficult to change.
Please provide at least 48 hours notice to ride on the grounds on non-event days to give our Bookings Officer time to address your query. Requests for events and clinics generally require even more notice.
Only current and fully paid members may ride on the grounds at all times. Approved safety equipment must be used at all times.
