The 1990 UK Activity Pony Club


Unfortunately I stopped being a member of the Pony Club in the UK after 1989, so I don't have much of the paperwork or club newsletters beyond that point. If anyone has these and is willing to send scans of key pages or information about what came with each set to put up on the site, then I would be very grateful.

In the meantime, there was a club newborn, and her name was Baby Bridesmaid. For some unknown reason, the theme of the 1990 club was marriage. I always find this amusing given that 1989 was all about adopting and caring for a baby pony, and 1991 was all about 'fun and games'.

Although the theme of weddings had been a thing in Ponyland for a bit (beginning in the UK with Confetti, in North America with Satin & Lace and her entourage), Baby Bridesmaid had no connection to any of those issues.

Like the original club newborn, she was white, this time with a name, a symbol, and hair in a colour other than white (which was intentionally curly). The advert described her having blue hair and silvery symbols, and the pony did meet this criteria.

She was advertised in the pony comic throughout late 1989 and early 1990 through the following advertisment:

The comic advert teased at the themed packaging style that would become the norm in 1990, giving her wedding memorabilia as the border pattern. The advert photo and text suggests activity sheets and ideas to help Baby Bridesmaid prepare for the wedding, but what exactly this entailed I am not sure.
