🐾 Sunday – We're Back at 8:00am! 🐾

A huge thank you to everyone who helped today. Thankfully, it wasn't as hot as forecast, and we hope tomorrow is the same! ☀️🐶

Just a reminder that we're starting at 8:00am again tomorrow, with course walking and the judge's briefing from 7:30am.

We've still a few small gaps on our helper rota. If you have a class free and can spare a little time to help with leads, call up or scribing, we'd really appreciate it. Even helping for one class makes a big difference and keeps the day running smoothly.

Thanks again everyone – see you all bright and early tomorrow! ❤️🖤🐾

🐾
Thank you so much to everyone who has already volunteered to help—it really is appreciated! 💙

We still have a few gaps to fill, particularly for leads. If you're free for a class or two and can lend a hand, we'd really appreciate it. Even helping for one block makes a huge difference and helps keep the show running smoothly.

If you can help at any stage during the day, just let us know or call over to the secretary's tent on Saturday morning.

Thank you—we couldn't run the show without our amazing volunteers! 🐶👏

☀️ Glen Craig Agility Show – Important Weather Update ☀️

Held under IADSA Rules at Forest Farm

Due to the warm weather forecast, the show will go ahead with extra measures in place to keep everyone and our dogs safe. We ask all competitors to support these adjustments so the event can run as smoothly as possible.

🕢 Course walking & judges' briefing: From 7:30am.

🕗 First dog on the line: 8:00am (instead of the published 9:00am).

🐾 Ring & running order: We will stick to the running order as closely as possible.

🏃 Training rounds: Where permitted by the judge, training will be allowed within your allocated course time only. We will be enforcing this throughout the weekend to ensure no unnecessary time is lost and the show keeps moving safely.

💦 A paddling pool will be available for dogs to cool down.

🚰 Please bring plenty of fresh drinking water for both yourselves and your dogs, and make use of shade wherever possible.

☀️ Midday break: We will take at least a one-hour break during the hottest part of the day to allow judges, helpers, competitors and dogs to get out of the heat, cool down and recharge before continuing.

🙋 Helpers: Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered. If you haven't signed up to help on the app but are now able to lend a hand, please let us know. Every extra pair of hands will help keep the ring running efficiently, speed up course changes and reduce the amount of time everyone spends in the heat. Your help is greatly appreciated.

We're usually quite relaxed, but we'll need to be strict with these adjustments. It's the best way to keep the show running safely while looking after the welfare of our dogs, judges, competitors and helpers.

We have two fantastic judges lined up and can't wait to welcome you all this weekend. Safe travels, and we'll see you in the morning! 🐾

Re. Agility show this weekend. There is no Catering van.
