HORSE SENSE AND PREMISE ID
Below is important information for those of us who only have horses on our land (those with cattle likely have already applied for their premise id). I will have these forms with me when I am at either Thorsby or Get-A-Long for the next few shows. If there are questions, please contact the Ag-Info Centre toll free at 310-FARM(3276) or call Arlene direct at the Stony Plain Agriculture office at 780-968-3516.

IN OTHER NEWS ...
As I am sure you are aware, every year there is usually some kind of injury or incident that happens in or around the arena. While everyone wants to help, as a club we do not have an organized response. Therefore at the AGM it was decided that for the safety of our members we will organize an Emergency Response Team. This is a new undertaking and we are looking for volunteers and any suggestions you may have. MEDICAL EXPERIENCE IS NOT NECESSARY, if you have any and would like to participate, great, but we also need people without. This will count as your work levy. Please contact Sandi Feth sfeth13@xplornet.com or call 780-963-7602 for more information or any help you can provide.
MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT
May 11, 2010
Hello All
It looks like spring has finally sprung. After this coming weekend at Blackland’s, we’ll have four shows completed (each day being a show ).
We had a few bumps at the first show, including start time, the air gate and ground condition. Many thanks to our volunteers who persevered and kept things moving. I’m confident that with the continued support of all members, the shows will start on time and run smoothly.
Please remember that in order to avoid unnecessarily long days, each team can help greatly by being lined up and ready to go when it’s their turn.
It’s that time of year again. Please consider volunteering for a board position for the 2011 season. This can be a positive experience for you as a penner. Our board is proactive in promoting and improving the penning experience for our membership. As the year progresses, you will notice some changes in equipment and procedures (ie. a new set of pen panels and the emergency response plan – implemented as brought forward by Sandi Feth ). PLEASE STEP UP and help keep the ATCPS moving forward. If you are interested, you can talk to any board member for more info.
Remember to support our sponsors, for without them, much of what we do would not be possible.
Safe penning
Clarence Knight
