Tumblers club

Anyone elses hunt do this?
If you fall off you have to pay £5 to the Tumblers club!
I am dreading the day I add to it.

 

[Maesfen]

Yes, ours!
They raised quite a lot of money last year, quite a bit from multi falls! I think the proceeds went to the Air Ambulance.

 

[Irishcobs]

That is what ours is going to. Our hunt had the AA out 3 times last year so is a worthy cause.

I know the hurworth do, and all the proceeds go to the 2 air ambulances that cover our region.

the bilsdale don't as yet, but we split the proceeds of some of our other events with them.

We charge £10 per fall but cap it at a maximum 3 falls. We have an award dinner paid for with the proceeds at which we have Oscar style prizes - 'muddiest fall', 'most premature exit', 'best double act' that sort of thing. Then there is a trophy for 'Faller of the Year' which is awarded with a tube of super-glue. The money raised pretty much covers the food and drink but we do raise money for the Air Ambulance at other events.

yes but it's unoffical one, it's bewteen my hunting friends and monies goes on drink at ball!!

And i seem to have to donate every season!!!

 

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

Ours is £10 for a fall and £20 if you fall off and let go of the horse. Money collected goes to the Air Ambulance and there is a trophy awarded at the end of the season to the greatest contributor (its in my living room thanks to my OH's supreme efforts to raise money for a good cause...)

 

[Baydale]

We do, £10 per fall. We had one disallowed when someone was taken out by someone else falling off - it seemed only fair to not make her pay.

OH was Field Master and was trying to raise funds for it by jumping really silly stuff so lots of people would fall off. :shocked:

 

[Gamebird]

I got bucked off on the way TO the meet and I tried to get that disallowed but it wasn't. As if the embarrassment of the horse turning up at the meet on its own with me in hot pursuit wasn't enough I had to pay too......

 

[Baydale]

Nearly as embarrassing as being the first person to fall off at the first fence at last season's opening meet. And that was off Max - thankfully he redeemed himself many times after that.
