Attention: - Competitors and Event Organisers Re: - SEC Stabling In order to keep your costs down that only a minimal amount of sawdust is added to stables for horses to stand on over short periods of time. You may however add extra bedding (esp for overnight stabling) if required. Additional sawdust is located adjacent to Block H. Competitors may only use boxes allocated to your Organising Club so please adhere to Stable Plans as posted. Event Organisers must appoint a stable steward to ensure Plans are followed and NO HAY is left in stables. Please be advised that Clubs will be fined $25 for each stable returned littered. Thank You Centre Management

VOLUNTEER NEWS
“Volunteer for a day” There are a number of events coming up that are in desperate need of volunteers. You may not normally have time to volunteer, or feel you don’t have the skills. For 2008 the EFA(WA) is bringing in an initiative of “volunteer for a day”. All we ask is that if you don’t usually volunteer that you just take one day out of your busy schedule to lend a hand at an event of you choosing. We will make sure that on that day you are fed and watered. Everyone that contacts me to participate in “Volunteer for a day” will go in the draw for our fantastic raffle and will also be invited to our “Volunteer Week Celebration” and other events within the year. So please, take one day out of your schedule to put back into the sport that gives you so much. Contact Jess at the EFA 9296 1200 or volunteercoordinator@efawa.com.au.
