24.01.2022 Possibly the most dreaded day on most rural people’s calendar but appreciation post to Dirk Dijkstra and his team, for carting over 1000 bales in under 11 hours yesterday, beating the rain & having them all in safe, dry store.

20.01.2022 Good Morning All We had an important Staff Meeting last night where a range of issues were discussed. Today, I would like to give you all a friendly reminder about a few rules that are still very much in play as per DHHS Guidelines. ... With the current easing of Restrictions and life outside the JOLONG Gates slowly returning to days of old, it is easy for us all to become complacent. Jolong Park risks substantial fines should we be found to be non compliant & running our business irresponsibly around Covid-19. It is expected that EVERYONE wears their Face masks whilst visiting JP. This includes all staff. If you don’t have a mask on, you will be politely asked to do so. Using Hand Sanitiser upon arrival at JP - available at entrance to Barn 1, 2 & 3 AND in the Indoor Arena. SOCIAL DISTANCE - 1.5 metres. For both Covid-19 rules & JP rules, no more than 4 horses and riders are permitted in the indoor arena at any one time. Please help us all to stay safe and keep JOLONG PARK COVID FREE & COMPLIANT. Please indicate your receipt of this important message in comments. Thanks so much for your cooperation and have a lovely day.
