January picnic trial

Hello Mountain Valley people!

This coming Sunday (January 2nd) is our January picnic trial. We'll have both a hunt test and a field trial set up. Don't forget, no pavillion (but we will have shelter/tents set up if precipitation presents itself as a problem). Last month was the first time we tried no pavillion, and it worked out pretty well. Things can only go up from there! This month we'll have a big pot of chilli, and a big pot of chicken vegetable/noodle soup. Coffee, HOT chocolate, as well as other snacks, will also be available. So come on out and support your club....you know, ring in the new year in the way we love best!

Also, I'll be there to take membership dues if anyone wants to bring them =)

See you Sunday!

Dec. Picnic Trial

Hello all!

Just a quick reminder that our next picnic trial is Dec. 5th. Please remember that we will not be meeting at the pavillion, but rather will be congregating at the vet's field (when you come into the park, turn right at the dead end/stop sign and keep on truckin'!) Coffee and snacks will be available, and it is $5 to run your dog.

If you have a snack that will make our day, bring it on out!

Also, if you have yet to renew your membership, don't forget to bring your fee with you. See you there!

First picnic trial Nov 7th and AGM

The first of our Picnic Trials is November 7th.  Registration is at 9am and the stakes will start at 9:30am.  There will be both Hunt Test and Field Trial.  Entry fee is still $5 per dog.  Coffee, snacks and a lunch will be available for $5.00.

Our AGM will start when the stakes and lunch are done which should be around 2-2:30pm.

Come out and support your club!
