Helper Levies have been increased for the 2026 membership year. See the 2026 Helper Levy Information document for further info. If any of the information in the document needs clarification, please contact the Secretary (Sally) on 0429 190 653.
Our membership year starts on 20 December each year (this allows members to join and enter our January comp, as the closing date for January is too close to 1 January each year). Half price membership is available from 20 June each year.
Moving Forward magazine is now available online from our website and is free for everyone - members and non members.
How To Join
Use the link above and select Adelaide Hills Dressage Club. Select Full or Half Year membership (Senior, Family or Youth) and follow the prompts. You will need to nominate a helper day but when you assist us with pencilling for a day your $100 helper levy will be refunded. You may also pencil at additional competitions for the same $$$.
Non-members who pencil for us will also receive $100 for a full day's pencilling.
If you are unable to assist on your nominated day you may nominate another day. Members who wish to ride and not assist us for the year are requested to contact the Secretary and advise of such, in which case your $100 will not be refunded. The policy is designed to encourage members to assist us in a similar manner to other SA Dressage Clubs.

ALL MEMBERSHIPS INCLUDE A $100 COMPULSORY HELPER LEVY (refunded on your helper day). A day of assistance at a competition of your choice (selected during the joining process) is required for the refund of your Helper Levy. We require pencillers at all competitions - a great way to help out and learn as you pencil. You may nominate a friend or family member to complete the Helper Day on your behalf - please let the Penciller Coordinator know when she contacts you before the competition.
If you are unable to pencil or there are more Helpers who have nominated a particular day than we can accommodate, another job such as assisting with Gear Checking or collecting tests (a Runner) will be allocated.
