Equine Endurance Event - The NTARC Safety Communications Team has been asked to provide safety communications at this year’s Tasmanian State Equine Endurance Ride Championships. This is the major event for the year and it will be held on familiar territory at Santarena Park, Scottsdale on Saturday the 5th of December. The rides will be 160km, 95km and 50 km. The 160km is a 24-hour ride that starts at 00:00 hours Saturday morning. We will be providing Base Communications, checkpoints and RFID tracking. There is still a need for additional crew members to handle this event, so if you can spare some time on that Saturday, why not pop down to Santarena Park, Scottsdale, a pleasant 1 hour or so drive from Launceston. If you like, you could utilise your radio skills or even help by handing out lollies and containers of water to competitors, all this interspersed with the tranquillity of the bush.
Please advise if you are able to assist by emailing secretary@ntarc.net or catch up with Idris, Andre' or Stefan at a coffee morning or Wednesday technical night session.
Mug Order - yes, we are talking about the white mugs for drinking out of, those that have our club logo on one side, personalised with your name and call sign on the other. We are placing another order so if you would like one then please email secretary@ntarc.net to place an order. Please specify what name is to be printed above the call sign. The final price will be about $15 depending on eventual quantity ordered.
