BCHSRA MEMBERS

The British Columbia Rodeo Association (BCRA) is once again issuing all 2013 BC High School Rodeo Association members a free 2013 BCRA Permit or 2013 BCRA Junior Membership as per the sponsorship agreement between the BCRA and the BCHSRA.

The BCRA permit membership allows each member to compete at three (3) BCRA approved rodeos and have one (1) local BCRA rodeo.  BCRA permit holders may then upgrade to a full membership by paying the difference between a permit and full card at the end of their four rodeo’s and all money won from being a permit holder will count towards the season standings.  In order for the permit money to count towards the season standings, you must upgrade to a full membership before the next rodeo you plan on entering.

If you qualify as a junior in the BCRA (15 years of age and under as of January 1st), then you may receive a free junior membership which allows you to attend all BCRA rodeos in the junior events.  Any junior wishing to compete in the open events must purchase a full membership.

I have enclosed a 2013 BCRA Membership Application and Waiver Release Form.  If you are interested in receiving this free membership, please fill out the enclosed forms and send back to the BCRA office either by fax or mail and we will issue you a BCRA membership card.  All paperwork must be submitted to the BCRA office no later than the Monday before the entry date of a BCRA rodeo.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (250) 398-4104 or bcrodeoassn@shaw.ca

Good luck in your future endeavors in the sport of rodeo.

Good Afternoon,

I have attached information concerning our first Annual Alumni Reunion to be held in Rock Springs at our High School Finals. I have also attached an ad pertaining to our trailer auction to be held during the Foundation Auction at the High School Finals.

The last attachment is information on our upcoming On Line Stallion Breeding Auction to begin October 2012 and go through January 2013. The web site in under construction and will be completed shortly, which will provide information for donors as well as potential buyers. I will get that information out at that time. We wanted to get the word out in advance but if you have a need for immediate information for either donors or buyers, just let me know.

My request is that if you have an avenue to spread the word, whether by web site, face book or mailings, we would appreciate your help. This will greatly benefit The Association by means of awards, scholarships, and other programs for our members.

I will follow up tomorrow with one more, and that would be a customer wrapped, chrome wheel Heel-O-Matic machine. Tickets and the machine will be available for viewing and purchasing at our Junior and High School Finals.

As always, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do for The National High School Rodeo Association.

Hoping your rodeo year is going well!

We'd like to introduce you to Sweetwater County, Wyoming and the Sweetwater Events Complex... We're excited to be your hosts this July for the National High School Finals Rodeo! While this certainly isn't our first rodeo, it's definitely the largest. The Sweetwater Events Complex is no stranger to large events and hosts the Red Desert Round Up Rodeo, Mountain States Circuit Finals PRCA Rodeo as well as Wyoming's Big Show, just to name a few.

Still, none of the past events match the size and scope of the National High School Finals Rodeo. With that in mind, we have been busy upgrading our facilities to meet the needs of the National High School Finals Rodeo and are excited about the changes. Upgrades include:

· New panels and chutes for both performance arenas and livestock pens

· Additional seating to accommodate 5,000 people in performance arenas

· A new jackpot/practice arena – contains one 50' x 240' arena and one 180' x 240' arena

· Additional campground spots totaling over 1,200 onsite, full service units

Sweetwater County, Wyoming is home to two major towns, Rock Springs and Green River, as well as numerous outly ing communities. We're home to:

  • Over 2,200 hotel rooms
  • 10 movie screens
  • 3 major shopping destinations
  • 70 restaurants

Soon enough, you'll start seeing details on the upcoming National High School Finals Rodeo. You'll also be receiving details about the hotel and campground blocks from your state secretaries.

In the meantime, to learn more about us and our community, here are some websites you might want to visit:

Weir, copies of the poster will be available in the trade show as a means to remember your trip to the finals.

MARINO
POZZOBON

Nov. 3, 1931 - Mar. 3, 2011

POZZOBON, Marino, of Merritt, BC, passed away peacefully March 3, 2011.

Marino was born November 3, 1931 at RIH in Kamloops, BC. He was the son of the late Samuel and Assunta Pozzobon of Pemberton Range. Marino is survived by his loving wife Joni, sons Mark of Savona, BC and Luke (Leanne) of Merritt, BC, brothers Mackie (Rita), Freedy (Jean), sisters-in-law Lillian Pozzobon and Eileen (Herman) Harrison and brother-in-law Lloyd McNary and many nieces and nephews. He was a wonderful Nono to Derek, Cole, Carman, Madeline, Ty and Amy. He was predeceased by his daughter Lynn Mobbs (2006), sister Maria McNary and brother Sammy.

Marino worked on the family farm at Pinantan and then logged with his brothers. He started “rodeoing” as a young man competing in bareback riding and calf roping. Marino married Joni on March 16, 1957 and ranched in the Pritchard and Pemberton Range area until they moved to the Nicola Valley in 1966 with their three children. They lived in the Canford area where they ranched and owned a fencing business. Marino’s pride and joy was watching his children and grandchildren compete in rodeo.

Marino’s Celebration of Life will be held in Merritt at the Crossroads Community Church on Tuesday, March 22 at 1 p.m. with Trinity United Church Minister

Kathleen Jones offi ciating. In lieu of fl owers contributions may be made to:

BC High School Rodeo Association,

British Columbia High School Rodeo Finals move to Williams Lake for 2011

January 11, 2011

The British Columbia High School Rodeo Association is please and excited to announce Williams Lake will be the home and host of the 2011 Provincial Championships for High School Rodeo. This event will take place at the Stampede Grounds on June 10-12, 2011, and will see the top 12 High School Rodeo athletes in each event from the North Region (north of Quesnel) compete with the top 12 athletes from the South Region (Quesnel and south) for the title of BC Champion and the opportunity to earn scholarships and prizes. The top four finishers will also earn a position on the BC Team competing at the National High School Rodeo Finals in Gillette, WY in July and the top five in each event win a position on the BC Team competing at the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals in Virden, MB in August.

In November the BC Board of Directors received an offer to host the Provincial Finals Rodeo from long time rodeo committee person, Connie Jasper  After a few months of investigating all the options and costs, a decision was finalized this week  There were so many good reasons to make this change. One of the biggest reasons is location.  Williams Lake is pretty central for our North and South members. Our High School members from the north and south will all have the same equal opportunity to compete at the facility once during the regular season, with the May 6-8, 2011 regular season rodeo being co-approved with both the North and South Regions  Last year at the BC Finals in Merritt, the North Region kids didn’t have the opportunity to compete in that arena during the regular season.  Of course, Williams Lake and the rodeo people in this town also have the reputation of producing outstanding rodeos at all levels. The BCHSRA is confident this will be a great relationship and we will all be working together to host a quality event for the top High School Rodeo cowboys and cowgirls in the province to compete at.

The association is now in its second full season with a two region format. This has allowed competitors to compete closer to home and still have a chance to qualify for the finals. Membership has grown and the number of rodeos has also increased simply because we can have a North Region rodeo on the same weekend as a South Region rodeo, when historically, we had to fit all the rodeos into our short spring and fall seasons.

This change to Regions hasn’t also been without some growing pains. The workload for the volunteers behind the scenes has doubled, as far as tracking points, finding sponsors and the number of awards presented goes. BCHSRA has revamped the points format for the finals from what we used last year in the hopes that it also is a better, more fair system. There have been many small changes made over the past couple years and until we know we have systems for two Regions that works to its best ability, there will continue to be many more changes to come. All for the better.

The BC High School Rodeo finals weekend on June 10-12, 2011 will also include a Season Leader Awards Reception, Grad and Scholarship Banquet, The Miss BC High School Rodeo Pageant and many more exciting activities. 

Bids are now being accepted for livestock contractors, goats, cutting stock, judges, timers, and announcer by contacting Sandy Chevallier, BCHSRA President at sandylw@shaw.ca or by calling 250-718-2761.  More information is available at www.bchsra.ca

Regarding the Junior Division Grand Entry, we discussed this on the weekend at our Directors Meeting, as the same kids are doing this and there are a few others that would like to be in the grand entry from time to time.  Sam said when she’s there she has just been giving a flag to whoever shows up first. 

We would like it to be like High School starting with the first out in each event and if you need more riders go to the last out in the events.  The High School kids post it at the office on a White Board.  In HS, it is the Student Secretaries that look after this. For the south, Junior Secretaries are McKenzie Wills and Sophia Rooke.  In the north the Jr. Secretaries are Anna Rorison and Mercedes Little. Maybe we could get a junior parent or the HS Executive to oversee this and try to implement this at Quesnel.

If someone could take this on, please let me know I will let the Quesnel committee know who that will be.

Thanks

Sandy

RE: Wrangler Jeans Ground rules

To all Directors and Secretaries:
As a result of the new shirts and jeans sponsor for the NHSRA, the NHSRA Executive Committee has passed a motion to suspend all rules that include a reference to Wrangler in the NHSRA Rulebook including the patch policy but excluding the queen contest attire. This is effective immediately. The NHSRA Queen Committee will address the queen contest attire and we will notify each of you of that decision as soon as it is made.
Thank you,
Kent Sturman

Regions

After lengthy meetings and discussion the BCHSRA has decided that in order to increase memberships and to cut cost to competitors that for the 2009/2010 season we will be dividing our Province into Regions.  There will be two regions.  The South Region and the North Region.

The Regions will be as follows. Quesnel and north will be the North Region. South of Quesnel will be the South Region. Members living in either Region can decide at the beginning of the year where they want to rodeo and must stay there for the remainder of the year. Co Approvals with the North and South Regions will only be approved for rodeos within 160 kms North or South of Quesnel. The top 8 contestants in each event from each region will qualify for the Provincial Finals. If there are not 8 contestant from one regions then rollups will be allowed from the other Region.  

Memberships

Memberships are due by August 15th for returning members. Memberships will not be accepted on Call in Night. New members must purchase their memberships 48 hours before entry night. Memberships must be received along with a report card and be memberships must be notarized. Any parents wishing to have a vote with the Association must also be Associate Members.
