New Agility Handlers and those about to compete..
I've had a bit of time on my hands and have updated the booklet I wrote in....can't believe it 2006!!
This booklet is intended to help those who are new to competing by hopefully giving useful basic info about measuring/KC classes and gradings etc & also the differences between KC and Independent shows. Also what to expect when you arrive at your first show.There is no charge for this publication but maybe put a donation in the charity box if you like. If there is anything else I've missed out of this version please let me know. Thanks to Sue O Neill for the lovely graphics.
Title is ~ "When you're ready handler..in your own time"
Pick up a copy from the clubhouse from next Saturday.

Competitions
Competitions are run across the country by many clubs and associations.
GVDTC holds a limited one day Agility Show in April, profits go to the clubs nominated charity,
("Limited" means only certain handlers can enter their dogs,
in this instance it is for the clubs which are involved in the 3 County Starters and or the Great Western Leagues).
The club also holds an open two day Agility Show in June, ("Open" means any handler can enter their dogs).
Helpers for both always needed.
At least two internal competitions are held yearly for club members.
