Good evening all, we have received advice from the event organisers that they have had to regrettably cancel this years Brookvale Horse Endurance ride due to insufficient entries.
We may be experiencing issues with this mailing list, so for those people who have responded to us (or believe that they have) could they please email me direct and confirm receipt of this email. If you have not emailed or filled out the google doc forms, no action is needed.

Good evening all,
The Brookvale Horse Endurance ride - the first (and pretty much only) WICEN supported event for Spring 2024 is approaching us. The event takes place on the trails in the Uriarra /Sherwood forest areas on Sunday 19 October with horses and their riders covering distances of up to 80km. This year's event is expected to be the same as last year's event with both legs in the Uriarra /Sherwood forest areas
We need to provide operators for 5 check points and the headquarters - some checkpoints may need to have divided shifts and the HQ will definitely need multiple shifts, so anticipate needing at least 10-12 operators, although more is better!
This event normally has some relatively early starts (historically around 5am for the early checkpoints), so an event well suited for the early birds. The checkpoints are off forestry tracks, so in most case relatively easily accessed by 2WD vehicles with a bit of clearance, but as always if they get really wet, they can end up being better suited to 4WD access, so please let us know what your vehicle situation is when advising availability.
If you can assist with this event, please respond using the web form at the below link. Replying to this email is nice, but I am going to ask you to fill out the form so that all organisers can see the responses. Of course if you do have questions about it, please feel free to ask us direct. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoTX6UobHzcDWchuf6EyY7yH2TMJZxQRs gU1TlAOBjAutOag/viewform?usp=dialog https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdoTX6UobHzcDWchuf6EyY7yH2TMJZxQRsg U1TlAOBjAutOag/viewform?usp=dialog
