Mudslinger Orientation Party

Thank you to everyone who came to our orientation on August 27th! It was so much fun to see everyone and meet all of our new riders joining us this season.

Most things are staying the same, but we have made a few changes for the new
season. Here are the updates for those who weren’t able to attend.

New Gymkhana Software

This season, Mudslingers will be transitioning to a brand-new gymkhana show management software created by our former Show Secretary, Christine Benton.

Our previous software has served us well over the years, but it has become outdated and increasingly difficult to support. The new system was designed specifically with gymkhana shows in mind and will help our events run more smoothly and efficiently.

We’re excited about this upgrade and look forward to providing a better experience for
our riders, volunteers, and spectators throughout the season!

New Judges Program

End-of-Season Awards

The Board has been hard at work calculating our End-of-Season Awards, and the awards have officially been ordered!

We are currently waiting for all of the awards to be delivered. Once we know when everything will arrive, we will schedule the date for our End-of-Season Awards Banquet.

We are currently thinking the last week of October, so stay tuned for the official date!

To keep the awards banquet exciting, riders will not know their final placing until the banquet.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a Mudslingers Board member.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at the arena!

See you all soon!
Mudslingers Board
