For anyone wondering what the strange pad thing is in their winners bags, it's a paw print pad :)

The results have been sent off, below is the link to the results.

Thanks again for coming along and supporting our summer series, and more so, thank you for being such a great bunch of attendees who supported and cheered on everyone and not just individual clubs members. This welcoming, friendly and supportive environment has been so welcoming to those who have had their first competition runs at our show.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year where we will be running shows under a new organisation with a new format, new rules. As soon as they are up and running I will post links to their rules, sites etc

The charity money has been totted up, £246.00 I've attempted to make the donation tonight to street vet through their page and I can't tell if it's gone through or not. I'll check my account in the morning and if it hasn't or I haven't had a confirmation email I'll try again through their website. Thanks to everyone for helping to raise this :)

Series finals

We are going ahead, the ground is good :) the rain is due to leave us my mid morning so fingers crossed it does. The location does seem to have it's own little micro climate so the forecast isn't always accurate.

The bar will be open for bottled or canned drinks (card only), the kitchen for tea and coffees (cash only)

You're welcome to sit in the club house, dogs can go in with you, but, if your dog is nervous or reactive please don't put them under undue stress being in a confined area with others.

Bring your wet gear and see you all later :)

Series finals

Congratulations to those who qualified for the series finals.

Class 3 Hoops will comprise of hoops and gates

class 7 Mixed will comprise of hoops, barrels and, potentially tunnels and gates

Special class rules

No food or toy to be carried in the hand, toys and food can be left on the chair by the entrance, a toy may be carried in the pocket.

Results and awards are for individual classes and not a combined score over both, there will be no bonus box, distance or close handling is equalised to give every entrant a shot at a clear round.

Results will be announced for both classes once class 7 has run.

We would like all people who won a finals ticket, regardless of whether their run is clear or not to attend the presentation if possible.

We would appreciate it if all winners finalists would stay for a group photo, please do not bring your dog for the photos if they are nervous or reactive to prevent stress.

Thanks to the generosity and sporting nature of finalists who are unable to attend the finals next month we have been asked to pass their place onto other worthy teams.

I will attempt to update the sheets later and make contact with them individually but if you can tag them that would be great.

Congratulations to Zoe Gilbert and Frog, hoopers finalist, Avril Taylor and Seb hoopers finalist.
Congratulations to Lucy Byrne and Nellie Barrellers finalist and Sarah Worth and Casey barrellers finalist.

Hoopers show 22nd September

A polite reminder of the rules below

Having witnessed a few people give food rewards in the ring and, had food fall out of a pocket which resulted in elimination please do not carry food into the ring either in the hand, pocket or toy.

Many thanks

Toys and Food. A toy may be carried in the pocket and used as a reward after the final hoop, the toy must not be visible until the dog has fully passed through the final hoop. A toy may be carried in the hand in NFC (not for competition rounds) No food is permitted to be carried within the hand or pocket at any point once the ring has been entered. Toys must not be placed where it could act as a lure.

Late post due to waiting for the charity monies to be totted up.

A big thank you to everyone who came out and supported us, and a huge thank you for your lovely comments about my courses :)

Our gratitude as usual goes out to everyone who helped to run the day, Julie Sherlock for manning the bar and results, Briony Charlotte for being a great line judge, course builder and timer, Nikki FullerPineapple's for managing our steeplechase ring and of course Laura D'Allen for jumping in and helping and for allowing our amazing rosette giver Lyra to help with number picking up, measuring random parts of the course and making everyone smile at presentations.

The charity pot is now up to £202.00, it's time to start commenting with suggestions of charities (animal) you would like us to consider making a single or split donation to.
