Congratulations to Groom Team Australia Members
Jane Bourke (Captain)
Wendy June Wouters
Tiarne Perkiss
Shayla Knipe
And manager Prue Hammond

5th place at the world Grooming Championships.

These groomers work so hard to gain the knowledge and skill to compete amongst the top groomers from 25 countries.

Travelling several days and collecting dogs they haven’t met to compete whilst lacking sleep and facing challenges. The team conducted themselves with grace and determination.

What an incredible result

Please give them a big virtual round of applause

PIAA Member Shayla Knipe of Stylish Canine Marcoola represented in Terrier Handstrip Class as part of the team.
Leaving family behind to travel over 40 hours to compete.
An amazing result.

Everyone in the grooming community is proud of you all for you hard work and commitment

Got a feeling that someone you know or care about isn’t behaving as they normally would? Perhaps they seem out of sorts? More agitated or withdrawn? Or they’re just not themselves. Trust that gut instinct and act on it.

Simply Ask The Question... R U OK?

While today is the official R U OK day in Australia, we know life can be tough at times, and so can business. As a community with the same passion, keep an eye out for each other and ask the question whenever you feel it is needed.
