Agility 2013 - Thursdays at 7 o'clock - Gables Farm, Plympton

Thursday evening (11th July)  was a busy night!!  the weather was perfect, and we had 2 teams to run different parts of the track.

Here are a few photos:

There is no waiting list for agility, but Jenny would like to know if you decide to join us.  It is open to existing members or you can join on the night.  Liz will need to check inoculations and there is a yearly membership fee of £10.  The weekly fee remains at £2





Thank you!

Display Practice -

The top class practiced the spiral where they follow the lead dog , in a smaller and smaller circle and then walk out of it, into a large one.

Current News

Hi, half way through 2013 already !!

The trainers are nearly at the end of the first 6 week session of training with mixed results.  The club was being overwhelmed by the demand, so much so, that the trainers felt that no one was benefiting from the classes.  They decided to take some control and introduce a set 6 week beginners course. They have also changed the class times and trainers.  Hopefully, the intake has been more controlled and the members who attend are learning more in the classes.

We would welcome comments as to the success / failure of this course and any constructive suggestions please.


Agility has begun again at Gables Farm on thursday evenings if the weather is dry.  Members are welcome to join us.  see separate blog post for current news and agility rules.


The Summer 2013 newsletter is posted on the page to the right.  ----------  please read.  Some are printed out and available on club night.  some are emailed, but so many have been rejected that if you would like it emailed to you, please email me (  teresa-frost@sky.com)

Jenny is having a great time sewing up all the squares for the blankets for Woodside and Gables.

see Bob helping her sort out a skein of wool last night  ( 14th May!)
