What's New

2008 Nationals – All you need to know

A few notes on the Agility Trial at Nationals The Agility Trial site is in a large city park. Although there are lots of trees in the surrounding area there is no shade immediately around the rings. Exhibitors and spectators alike are encouraged to bring shade, chairs, and the normal things we carry around to trials. Have crates or x-pens for your dogs. We expect a beautiful, sunny day so don’t forget your sunscreen.

Chairman, Susanne Glasgow is looking for a few more volunteers to work at the trial. She particularly needs workers early Monday morning (6:30-7 a.m.) to help unload the equipment so we can set up, walk courses, and start on time. If you have not already done so, please contact her and let her know you will help. Email is best mcgintyrch@earthlink.net
