Rallies and Competitions are included in the calendar below. Use it if you need to work out when the next rally is. During the year Roydvale runs 3 competition days - these are significant fundraisers for our club and allow us to keep costs to members very low. Members and their families are expected to help with working bees leading up to the competitions and assist on the day. Whether you do this yourself or rope friends and family in, you can work with the Committee to see what is needed.
Rallies
Rallies are generally scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. We use our private members Facebook page to advertise details on anything coming up, so keep an eye on that here and please RSVP to all rallies via this button. Our normal deadline for RSVPs to Rallies is Wednesday 10pm before the Sunday.

Roydvale Competitions - Keep these dates free
Roydvale ODE 2023 - Saturday 29th July - Sunday 30th July - First Start to 105cm
Roydvale Show Jumping 2024 - Tuesday 6th February 2024 - Poles to 110cm
Working Bees - Keep these dates free
If you cant make the date/time of a working bee let us know. There a heaps of different things you can do to help the Roydvale members out, whether its cleaning the toilets, weedeating, spraying, towing jumps, putting up poles, tidying the clubrooms, rabbit holing... there is something for everyone! Where possible we will make a working bee the same date/time as the rally, this way you aren't making extra trips, but it does mean we need hands at work while the kids are riding.
Working bees will generally happen on the 1st Rally of the month (which is held on the 2nd Sunday of the Month - see calendar below for dates). Effort put in here will mean the weekend before our comps (which traditionally have large working bees) will require less effort. However, we have still programmed these in to ensure if we do not progress sufficiently throughout the year, we still have the dates set aside for some setup work.
Family assistance at working bees goes toward keeping the costs for riders as low as possible, but this contribution also goes toward financial assistance for riders in teams competition (see the selection policy). So whether your rider is keen on teams or just keeping the cost of membership down while we fund fabulous rallies and opportunities for riders - your contribution helps and is essential to keep Roydvale thriving!
Rally times are generally 10-12 then a BBQ lunch unless a full day or double rally is notified (usually about 9:30 till about 3pm).
If you are keen to do some jobs but rally times don't suit - get in touch with one of the Committee and let them know so we can tick it off our list and publicise how wonderful you are!
