visiting the grounds BACKGROUND The IR Robertson Reserve is a 30 acre reserve owned by the council and managed by an Advisory Committee of representatives of each of the user groups. The reserve is primarily an equestrian facility but is also used by local residents to exercise their dogs! Current user groups are: Gisborne Pony Club Gisborne & District Adult Riding Club Melbourne Show Jump Club Gisborne & District Adult Riding Club and Gisborne Pony Club have over the years built , maintained and improved the equestrian facilities with their own funds and volunteer labour. The grounds, with the exception of the sand arenas, are open to the public for respectful use. If you use this wonderfull facility , in particular the x/c course a $10.00 donation each ride towards the maintenance and improvements of the course is requested. Club members.. (NOT THE SHIRE ! NOT GOVERNMENT ! ) pay for and work on the course and jumps . Course may be closed if contributions aren't forthcomming Bank Details. I.R.Robertson Rserve BSB 633 000 a/c 129 155 180 As of the 14 th of August 2013 the two sand arenas at I. R. Robertson Reserve will be locked to exclude public use. The arenas will only be available for use by current financial members of both Gisborne Pony Club and Gisborne Adult Riders . For those of you reading this that are in fact members of one of the clubs please be aware that the arenas may still be out of bounds after periods of heavy rain. Please do not force entry as riding on a waterlogged surface destroys the base which is costly to repair. This will destroy a high cost asset that many have worked hard to obtain. If your own arenas or facilities are too wet to ride on at home you can bet the clubs will be too. |
