The two organisations are co-hosting a charity event for the Leukaemia Foundation at the Muswellbrook Showground on Saturday and Sunday.
“This has arisen after the passing of one of our foundation, and life, members of the club,” Valley Team Penning secretary Jill Pepperall said.
“So, we’re delighted Upper Hunter Team Penning has come on board to help raise money for this great institution.
“Each president has chosen 15 teams from their perspective clubs to compete against one another, with the winner being determined by the aggregate score of each club.
“There will be open and youth riders participating on both days.”
Pepperall said organisers were anticipating big numbers to converge on town this weekend.
“We’re expecting anywhere between 200 and 250 people to this event,” she admitted.
“We’ll also conduct an auction on Saturday evening.
“We’re hoping to raise in the vicinity of $10,000 over the two days, with all proceeds going directly towards the Leukaemia Foundation.
“Our thanks to the major sponsor, Furneys Stock Feed, for their support.”
