Agility at Gables Farm - 2012

Agility evenings run in the summer months at Gables Farm, first evening 12^th April. We start at 7pm and finish at approximately 8.15pm.  The charge is £2.00 per dog.

We do not hold sessions when it is raining, or if the ground is very wet.

Our arrangements with Gables require the following

Ø      Shut the entrance gate after passing through

Ø      Park on the gravel area behind the main Reception building

Ø      Do not go beyond our designated Agility area – you or your dog

Ø      Keep control of your dog

Ø      Due to proposed building works we are using gables upper paddock area

 

                                                                                       

Our Requirements

We appreciate your help in erecting and dismantling the equipment.  The more help we get the easier and quicker it gets done and the longer we can enjoy the agility.  The trainers are all volunteers; we do not receive any money ourselves, we want to enjoy the evening as well.

Dogs/owners must be registered members of the club; dogs must be over 1 year old, no older than 10 and respond to a recall command. Owners to ensure that their dogs are fit and able to participate.

We do not do this competitively; we just do it for fun.

Now for the dreaded health & safety:

Ø      Be careful in moving the equipment, most of it is heavy, lift only what you are comfortable with

Ø      The ground can be uneven and slippery, there are sometimes rabbit holes in the agility area – take care where and how you are walking/running; wear sensible footwear.

Ø      Keep control of your dog, some dogs want to join in when it is not their turn, there are usually rabbits at the far end of the field, which the dogs like chasing!

Contacts

If the weather is dubious, or you have any other queries please contact David Frost

01752 337846 or 0777 954 1153   - Or speak to committee members at the club

Hearing Dogs for the Deaf talk - Tuesday 15th November 2011

Janine Sargent from Hearing Dogs for the Deaf came to give us a talk about the charity which is only 30 years old. A hearing dog gives a deaf person back their independance after becoming increasingly isolated.

Deafness is a hidden disability and one that is often overlooked.

The charity is promoting a Santa Paws event for christmas and a fundraising pack can be obtained from Janine (01208 79786 or email janine.sargent@hearingdogs.org.uk )


Janine and her volunteer puppy Gillie wowed the crowd!
