At the 2010 Ontario Rodeo Association Annual General Meeting, the 2010 ORA Membership rate was established at $150.00 for competitors.  This still makes the ORA one of the most cost-effective Rodeo Membership cards in Eastern Canada.  The membership assembled at the AGM also mandated what the increase would be attributed towards: subsidizing the Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet, along with Annual Awards.

All other levels (Contract Personnel, Associate, etc.) will remain the same.

Anyone who arranged their 2010 ORA Membership prior to the deadline (postmarked prior to February 27th, 2010) will be "Grandfathered in".

The ORA will extend the membership deadline from March 1st to March 31st "penalty free", however, following that deadline, the customary $10 / month to a maximum of $30 will apply beginning April 1st, 2010.

New and Renewing ORA Members may process their memberships online, or download forms by clicking here. 

Reflecting on the great members that make up our organization, we are also touched by the several companions that are part of our family as well.

The ORA received the following email this afternoon: 

"In the back of our place overlooking the open field and pond is a new grave marker.

It reads:        

Bit A Few
Bred A Few
Here Lies Bulldog"

He was a great friend.  Our condolences, Wilf.
