Hello everyone! Nik here, and today the club hosted another open event for our waiting list members to get to know the club better and even increase their chances of joining ME in the future. This week the theme was forest themed. At 6:15 everyone arrived at Dew's Paddock dressed as different animals that live in the forest (foxes, deer, squirrels, bears, etc) riding any horse. Alli then split everyone into 3 groups which were lead by our Riding Instructors Olivia Deerdotter, Ursula Moonwood, Hannah Dolphincamp, myself, Allison Cloudmore and help from one of our champions Naomi Eastweb that filled in for Leah Bravestream. As usual, there were 3 different games that were played within all the groups. The first game was called Predator and Prey and in this game 2 - 3 people were chosen to be the Predators, and the rest where the Prey. The Prey had 30 seconds to hide anywhere in the forest (not too far obviously) and then the Predators were released to go and find them. To catch the Prey the Predators had to /point and then the Prey had to return back to the starting point. The second game was called "What am I?". Everyone had to line up in front of their group helper which had already chosen a forest dwelling animal that they had in mind for everyone else to guess. The group helper went down the line and each person got to ask a question to try and guess what animal the group helper was thinking of for example "Is it a carnivore?" "Is it big?" "Does it live in trees?". They could only be yes or no questions. Once everyone asked one question each, everyone was allowed to shout out what animal they thought the group helper was thinking of, and the first person who got it correct won the game. The final game was called Sleeping Bear and this was basically played much like What's The Time Mr. Wolf. Everyone had to dismount and then line up crouching. The group helper stood a good bit away from everyone else and the aim was to be the first person to crouch walk all the way to the group helper without being caught moving. At random times, the group helper was allowed to turn around and face everyone. Once they had turned, everyone had to suddenly stop moving and the last person to stop had to go to beginning of the line. At 7:15 all the groups made their way to Firgrove Stables for a picture and a picnic while the club sent in their votes on who they would like to join. After Alli, the Leaders and Riding Instructors had a long discussion on who they wanted to join and who should move up on the Shortlist, it was decided that Dextra Eastwatcher, Annalisa Diamondwell and Adele Eagleport were being added to the club today! A massive welcome to you three I hope you guys have an amazing time in the club, and also a big thank you to everybody who came to the open event today, I hope you enjoyed it and made some new friends and got to learn a bit more about the club. See you all again at the next open event on 13th September!
See you next time, - Nik
