Cross Country Jumps – 23.4.12

Can we remind all members they use all jumps on TROT routes at their own risk and that all members have a duty of care to themselves and their horses to ensure they are competent to use the jumps.

As part of the terms and conditions of being a member you are required to wear an approved riding hat at all times. We also strongly recommend you wear body protectors to the latest BETA standard if you are going to use the jumps and that you do not use the jumps if you are riding alone.

***Hatbands – Important Reminder – 31st January 2012***

Please remember you must wear your hatbands at all times when riding or driving on a Toll Route or in any of the Forests. Hatbands are the only way of identifying you are a TROT member. You may be stopped and challenged by the landowner/farmer or Forestry Commission personnel if you are not wearing a hatband. If you have lost your hatband or cannot use it anymore, i.e., if it has become too loose, then please don’t hesitate to contact the TROT office on 01622 735599.

Also please remember to send your hatband back to us if for any reason you can’t ride or drive, i.e., if your horse is lame. We will put you on hold and this means you won’t lose any remaining months of paid membership.

If you want to retire your membership, again please remember to return your hatband to the TROT office.

If we don’t receive your hatband back we will assume you are still using it and you will be liable for any accrued membership fees.

Thank you for your co-operation and please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01622 735599 if you have any queries.

Tilgate Forest Rhododendron Clearance

FC will be carrying out rhododendron clearance at Tilgate Forest. This will affect areas both north and south of the M23.
Signs have already gone up in this area to advise people that work is imminent. FC have not applied for a closure of the wood but are asking that people pay due care and attention to the contractors as they work. They will be largely extracting the rhododendron with an excavator but mulching work and chainsaw operators will also be used.
