Launceston Dog Walking Field

09/12/2024

Good evening everyone, hope you have coped with the storm at the weekend. I have realised that I haven't changed the gate code in some time, so I have changed it this evening. Please look out for your booking reminder emails this evening which will carry the new code.
Thank you.

Having just been to the field I was disappointed to see that someone has driven off the hard standing inside the field onto the grass.

We have increased the size of the hard standing quite considerably this year in a effort to stop any damage to the field itself and the area is large enough for any car to turn easily.

I fail to understand why there is a need to drive on the grass and all this will do is make the area muddy and more difficult for people and dogs to walk on without wading through mud.

Please help us to keep the facility usable by keeping vehicles on the area provided.

Thank you

Alan

Morning everyone, please stay safe and don't travel unless you have to. Don't forget if you have a booking for the field and don't want to use it you can rebook using the customer panel.
Stay safe.

We are due to have the hedges cut around the field either today or tomorrow, I suspect today may not happen due to the weather.

We would ask that if anyone turns up to the field to find cutting going on that they must not attempt to enter the field but contact us and we will rearrange the appointment for you.

Sorry not to be more precise re dates and times but we are governed by weather and contractor availability.

Thank you for your understanding.

Good evening everyone, just to let you know that I have tonight changed the code for the field gate so please look out for your reminder emails to get the new code.

Once again I have to remind you to please pick up after your dogs, tonight we picked up six bags including two between the hard standing and the bench.... really, how did you not see them?

Hi, I have just added a couple of requests to the email reminders that we send for our bookings, we would appreciate it if you would please look at them.
One regards the perennial issue of picking up after your dogs and the other is a reminder about waiting in the layby until the previous user has left.
Simple things please to help everyone's enjoyment of our facilities.
Thank you.

Evening everyone, it has been a while since i changed the gate code for our field, in fact not since the recent dog show.
Therefore, I have changed the code tonight so please look out for your appointment reminder emails which will go out shortly.
On the subject of the dog show, thank you to everyone who supported it making it another very successful day. A huge thank you goes to our helpers especially to Tom Herron for his hard work in organising the day.

Hi everyone, just to let you know that I have changed the field gate code tonight so please check your reminder email for the new code.
Hope you like the larger hard standing which should allow more room to turn around.
However, it's a bit disappointing to find dog poo on it a few times recently, please check before you leave and please respect the fact that other people don't want to pick up after your dog.
Thanks..

Those of you who have used the dog field recently and have popped into the shed to bin your dogs p**p may well have seen the nest in the roof beams. I am extremely pleased to report the three chicks we have seen in the last few days being fed by their busy parents have now fledged and taken to the wing themselves.

The picture here was taken earlier in the week just before they took flight. They were still using the shed to perch in a couple of nights ago but we are really pleased that they all seem to have survived despite the regular traffic of people and dogs in the field....
