It's early days yet, but we would like to run a pony club 'oop North'.

We have two alternative outdoor venues to choose from, and we have the mezzanine floor of Kinkdom's monthly Play Club. In the beginning, we will make the mezzanine floor available for ponies and fanciers to gather on an informal basis, and see what interest develops. There will be no charge for this gathering other than the entrance fee of the Play Club itself.

We need to hear from ponies, would-be ponies, trainers and would-be trainers. We'll put you on our pony club mailing list when we have sufficient number to make a list worthwhile, but please let us know if you really are serious about attending every month at practice sessions. There'll always be opportunity for some to come just once in a while, but essentially, this club will be about regular attendance, practice to a high level and showing off at, ultimately, at several outdoor events around the UK.

Complete beginners, both ponies and trainers, are welcome, and will be taught, subject to a suitable balance of ponies / trainers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We also need to establish the creative team, the people who will make the club work. It's not something that we (T+L) can cover between us, we need extra skills, abilities and kit.

So if you are interested in part of the creative team, if you can offer equine skills, pony play skills, kit making skills or kit you can lend (think leather, bits, traps and of course, costume) and if you have a passion for pony play (yes, that does mean that there's no money in it, but you don't have to pay to attend!) we'd love to hear from you.

Tentative Pricing: monthly pony club meets (1pm to 6pm, 1st Sunday, Yorkshire)

Pony Club annual membership £20

Single event entrance £30

Single event entrance purchased at least 7 days in advance £25

6 months events entrance paid in advance £120

Admission will not be granted to any non-members.

Membership is your commitment to the pony club and to pony play in general: it is notoriously difficult to set up a pony club because of the space, the kit and the privacy needed. By making the membership payment, you are sharing the risk of this venture, and enabling the club to be set up and equipped. If the venture fails, the membership fee is NOT returnable.

We may need to control the balance of ponies / owners and trainers. We will accept single ponies, trainers and owners, and do our best to match them up to others or give chance to practice with others, but we cannot guarantee to be able to. Matched pairs and trios may be asked to give others chance to practice, but there will be absolutely NO expectation that they do unless they are comfortable about it and happy to do so. We will also do our best to provide an adequate level of kit for those who do not have their own, but sharing will be necessary.

The outstanding portion of advance block payments (door price of events that have been run will be subtracted) will be refunded if the venture fails, your guarantee being the reputation of 'Kinkdom' and 'Lady Alpha'.
