2023 TEERA fees and charges, membership renewals

Membership renewals now open

The TEERA SMC met this week to finalise the 2023 TEERA budget and set the 2023 membership and ride fees and charges.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that insurance costs for our sport, in line with insurance costs in general, have increased by almost 50% in the last two years. As a result of this the SMC has reluctantly had to increase both membership and ride fees for 2023. Increases have been limited to the minimum amount necessary to cover TEERA’s projected costs for 2023. Somewhat paradoxically, the cost of personal accident insurance has not risen for 2023.

A complete list of 2023 fees and charges has been published on the Forms page of this website as has the 2023 membership application / renewal form. The membership form has a link to the 2023 personal accident insurance application form.

TEERA members remaining on SMC as they have served only half of their current two year terms are Kirstie Lockhart, Jessica Goulding, Trenton Huxtable, Grace Huxtable and Andrew Miles.

As there are only nine members of the SMC at present, the terms of the remaining four have ended. They are Mark Dunn, Felicity Perry, Angie Clarke and Deb Wyllie.

FIVE SMC places need to be filled. Please consider nominating for the 2023 SMC and contributing to the running of endurance riding in this state.

The nomination form can be downloaded here. Nominations close at 5PM on 31 December 2022. Should more than 5 nominations be lodged an election to choose the 5 successful candidates will be conducted in January 2023 with the results announced at the Annual general meeting on 3 February.
