Postages

There are still s.a.e.’s with the wrong postage, only a few of which are underpaid, HOWEVER some people ARE PAYING TOO MUCH!  So let's try to explain……

ENVELOPE SIZES

What I used to call “letter size” (A4 folded twice) no longer exists.

1. Letter size now is approx half an inch bigger than A5 (A4 folded once).

It is anything up to 240 x 165 mm (9.5 x 6.5 inches)

Max thickness is 5mm (0.4 inch).  This will limit the number of pages to about 8.

Max weight is 100g – that could be up to about a dozen* sheets.

This is perfectly adequate for most one-day, simple Competitive and Pleasure branch rides.

2. Large Letter size would include flat A4 (no folds).

It is anything larger than “Letter size” and up to 353 x 250 mm (14 x 10 inches)

Max thickness 25mm – ample!

Weight can vary but up to 100g (~12* sheets) will need one Large Letter stamp.

This may be needed for multiple day rides or multiple entries at the same address.

We will always try to get the paperwork in the post within 24 hours of getting the photocopies, but that can vary.  So, you choose first or second class, but putting extra or double stamps on won’t get the paperwork to you any quicker.

Hope this helps

* Rough estimation using kitchen scales.

Making Entries

PLEASE, PLEASE try to make your entries by the due date, (ie 14 days before the ride) - they can be withdrawn without penalty if you can make a good case to the entry secretary – she will not penalise you unduly – but she and the ride organiser do need to know whether anyone is going to turn up otherwise they are going to a lot of trouble for nothing.  If you are riding on the Sunday a fortnight before and worried whether you will be fit – ‘phone and tell her your entry will be in a day later, or put it in earlier and ask her to send it back if things go wrong at the ride – it will only cost you a stamp.

You are likely to have your entry refused if you are too late in applying or you will find that the ride has been cancelled due to apparent lack of interest.

Late entries may be accepted at no additional cost, but maps and talkrounds will not be sent out, they may be collected from the caravan on the day.  At the discretion of the rides secretary - persistent offenders may still be refused.  There is no reason why you may not put in multiple entries for the months ahead.  Each should have a separate cheque and should you find it necessary to withdraw within the permitted time, your entry will be cancelled and your cheque destroyed.

Should you ride with another branch of SERC and you wish to grade your horse you should advise your own branch archivist. After any ride outwith the branch, a copy of your vet sheet will be sent to your home branch archivist so that she can record your achievements.
