Volunteering

FTPEC is proudly run by volunteers. From preparing our grounds and running competitions to supporting clinics and club activities, our members play an essential role in keeping the club operating.

All members are required to contribute volunteering hours each calendar year or, where applicable, donate their volunteer bond to support the club.

How Volunteering Works

1. Sign Up to Volunteer

All volunteering opportunities are advertised through our online SignUp sheets.

Members are responsible for registering for volunteering opportunities and ensuring their hours are recorded through SignUp.

2. Track Your Volunteer Hours

Members can view their completed volunteering hours using the searchable report below. It's your responsibility to monitor your progress throughout the year and ensure your hours have been recorded correctly. If any hours are missing or incorrect, please complete the Report Missing or Incorrect Hours Form.

3. Request Your Volunteer Bond Refund

Once you've completed your required volunteering hours, you must submit a Volunteer Bond Refund Request. Bond refunds are not automatic. Members are responsible for submitting their own requests before the annual deadline.

Annual refund request deadlines:

  • 2026: Monday, 23 November 2026

  • 2027: Monday, 22 November 2027

Requests are reviewed by our volunteer committee, so please allow time for verification and processing.

Important: Volunteer bonds do not roll over into the following membership year. Requests submitted by the applicable deadline will be reviewed against recorded volunteering hours, with eligible refunds processed by our volunteer committee. Please allow time for verification and processing.

Family volunteering hours can be shared across members of the same family membership.

Agistment members do not pay a volunteer bond but must complete their applicable volunteering requirements of 16 hours per quarter.

Thank You to Our Volunteers

Every hour contributed makes a difference. FTPEC simply wouldn't be able to offer the facilities, competitions, clinics and opportunities our members enjoy without the generosity of our volunteers.

Thank you for supporting our club and helping our equestrian community thrive.
