First picnic trial and AGM

We couldn't have asked for better weather for our picnic trial this past weekend.  Thanks to Ray for providing a great lunch of chili and hot dogs, Dave and Jodi for bringing dessert.  Thanks to our judges Ray & Pete for the Hunt test and Chris and Skip for the field trial. 

Our AGM went well.  There is no change to our executive for 2012 and all our events are a go for next year.  We still need chairs for our March and April picnic trials.  Our picnic trials will be held at the vet's field the same as last year.  It will be just about running the dogs so there won't be coffee or lunches so remember to pack a lunch and something hot to drink!

Hope to see everyone out in December :0)

Picnic Trial and AGM

The first of our picnic trials is coming up on November 6th with registration at 9am and stakes (Hunt and Field) starting at 9:30am.  We will be renting the Marina pavillion and there will be a lunch available and hot coffee to get us going in the morning.

Our annual AGM will start as soon as the stakes and lunch are completed.  This tends to be around 2pm.
Please join us and give us your input and ideas for the Club's direction for next year.

Hope to see you all there!

New FC!

Congrats to Jill & Boss for finishing their FC in Ottawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

National Amateur Journey

Has started.... judges have arrived and setup is complete.  Last night we had our banquet, calcutta and opened up the silent auction.  Thanks to the members who came out to help get the land ready for setup, lots of grass cutting and trimming in this heat.

It was a great night and opening to the National.  The committee did a fabulous job.  Heather Stewart is heading up the hospitality.  The banquet was a great meal and well organized.
