HELP!

Anyone with any information.... LOST / STOLEN

Apple iPad Pro 5 Space Grey encased in a black flip cover, last seen/used on the club house veranda in a blue dog print library bag approximately 4.30pm Sunday 18/8/24.

Bag was on the veranda from approx. 2pm until 5.30pm, accessed once 4.30pm, iPad retrieved from the bag used & returned to the bag which was put on a chair.

Last time iPad was sighted.

Picked up bag from the veranda & went home, made dinner for humans & dogs, didn't need to access anything from the bag until approx. 7pm, went to retrieve iPad & it was missing....

Any information would be wonderful.
As you can imagine having your iPad/Phone disappearing is difficult on many levels, Info, $$$ & more.
Someone must know something?
Please phone 0422441714

Thanks Leisa

We are VERY short of Instructors this Sunday. Some Instructors are competing in the Tamworth Scent Work trial (helping them increasing their skills and bringing those skills back to training to share with members in the future). And some of our Instructors are ill and unable to instruct. So if club members can assist with setting up class equipment and maybe helping with signing in members, please assist where you can. All our Instructors are volunteers and it sometimes gets very difficult to offer a full range of classes when we only have a small number of Instructors available.

Classes for tomorrow, Sunday 11th August will be:

2.00 - 3.00 pm: additional class - Intermediate & Advanced Scent Work for club members working at those levels of Scent Work

3.30 - 4.00 pm (in the first half of normal training time):

Basic Obedience
Basic /Intermediate/Advanced Rally

4.00 - 4.30 pm: half time break

4.30 - 5.00 pm: in the second half of training

Basic Manners
Basic Agility
Intermediate Agility

See you there!

Baryulgil Fineflower Campdraft facility. Xmas in July dinner was a bit of fun and a good turnout.

01/08/2024

Well it's been a while since I put up some happy snaps of our club activities and active members. So I have a few to share from the GDOC Tracking Trial last week end. We had excellent weather and a wonderful new camping location at Gordonbrook. The Baryulgil Fineflower Campdraft grounds. We are very lucky to have the use of these grounds and the wonderful property they are on.
If you attended the TT & have photos you would like to share, please let us know, we would love to put the up.

Wow, it's all happening here in Grafton. GDOC hosted a Tripple Obedience, Rally & Tricks trial last week end. Here are some pics. The lovely Leisa Williams worked so very hard setting up and pulling down. One of our competitors, Kerry & Koda, Sarah who volunteer, and a waiting line up. All good fun had by all.
