White Rose Agility

White Rose Agility is a competition agility club based in Halifax, West Yorkshire in England. There are normally about 20 members competing with dogs of all standards from Grade 1 to Grade 7 and at all heights: Small, Medium and Large.

White Rose Agility trains on Wednesday evenings only, and takes only handlers and dogs that are already competing in Kennel Club or equivalent standard shows. Members attend shows most weekends of the year - especially in the summer - and judge or ring party at many of them. As a club we believe firmly in having fun, and in putting something back into the sport that we all enjoy so much.


Currently there are no vacancies. Training is to KC regulations, eg up-contacts are trained as well as down-contacts.

TRAINING CANCELLED
Jan, Wendy and I have been down to the venue tonight and in our opinion we cannot train tomorrow because of the effects of the bitter temperatures: some of the lights are not working because the switches have frozen (!); it is not possible to peg weaves or tunnels because the ground is frozen and rock hard; the car park and yard are still covered in frozen snow; and, quite frankly, it was so cold that even the time we spent there, moving about, was uncomfortably bitterly cold - to stand instructing for hours, or waiting for 'turns', is just not feasible.So, really sorry, but we are cancelling tomorrow's training. As the bitter cold is set to continue, we are discussing ways that would allow us to continue in the New Year without anyone - or their dog - getting frostbite......Have a lovely Christmas and a Happy new Year!!
