TRAINING CANCELLED TOMORROW
They have been digging up the entry to the stables - a 6ft deep hole across the entrance. With the weather the way it is, it might not be finished and filled by tomorrow evening, so for safety's sake we are cancelling tomorrow night's training. Sorry!

This Weekend.
Saturday:
I only know of two results from Hare 'n Hounds, but how good are they!?!
Jules and Jette came 1st, and Sara and Tilly came 3rd in their Jumping class!!
Sunday
At NAWS we had good results too:
Krissy came 6th in Jumping and 7th in Agility with Zeta;
Rachel came 5th in Agility with Fred;
Helen came 6th in Agility and 4th in Jumping with Lucy, and also went Clear with Jock in the Jumping;
and Tish came 2nd in Jumping with TJ.
Well done to all of you!!!

Mel and Spike into Grade 4
In one of the last outdoor shows of the year, Mel and Spike came 1st in the Grade 3 Agility at South Durham yesterday, taking them into Grade 4, and also came 3rd in the Combined 1 to 3 Jumping. Way to go!!
Also at south Durham, Wendy and Kyle came 7th in Grade 6 Jumping, while at Lune Valley, Brenda and Bryn came 6th in Grade 4 Agility, and Jo and Flash came 9th in one of their classes.
I'll update when I get more results sent to me.
Congratulations to everyone!!

Results from last Weekend
Last weekend saw members competing at Delinquent Dogz, Ribble and Easington.
Delinquent Dogz - Brenda and Bryn came 1st in Level 2/3 (Grades 3 to 7) Agility; Brenda and Corker came 1st in Veteran Jumping.
Easington - Avril and Jack came 7th in Grade 3 Agility; Mel came 5th and 8th in Grade 3 Agility, and 8th in Grade 3 Jumping.

WIGAN
All the news I have had from Wigan is that it has had to be cancelled today because of the mud. Apparently it teemed down again in the night, and an already muddy ground became a quagmire, so the show had to be cancelled.
However, in the less than perfect conditions of Saturday, Mel managed to keep her footing and win the Grade 3 Jumping!! Well done Mel!!

Results from a lovely sunny West Lakes:
Helen and Jock - 3rd in Agility!!
Jules and Jette - 6th and 19th in Agility; 8th and 10th in Jumping
Tish and TJ - 1st, 2nd and 12th in agility, and 4th in Jumping
Mark and Shady - Clear Round
Jo and Floss - 10th Jumping
Jo and Flash - 3rd and 5th Agility; 1st and 7th Jumping.
That means that Jo and Tish- who each won one of the lovely Peakdale trophies - are in charge of cakes next week when we resume training!!

Well, White Rose members cleaned up at Hare 'n Hounds last weekend. I'm still waiting for specifics, but I know Rachel's Fred did some lovely runs, putting a big smile on her face, and Jan's Logan tried his best for Tish and Rachel in different classes.
Avril went home with a fistful of rosettes - a 13th, two 18ths and a 24th and Jules and Jette came 3rd despite Jules having a cold and a poorly leg. Mel also needed a van just to carry home the rosettes - a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th and two 17ths! Jo got four (!) 2nd places, including one with Floss, a 10th and a 15th. Tish's TJ took 3rd in agility and 2nd in Jumping. Brenda's Bryn got a 2nd, 4th, 7th and some clears, and together with Wendy's Geordie, won the costume section of the Fancy Dress Pairs - they were 'The Lost Samurai' Canin-ja warriors - lol!
Well done to everybody!

Waldridge Weekend
So, I'm not at a show this weekend, though I would like to be at Waldridge Fell Agility Show by the sea at Redcar celebrating with Wendy and Georgie who came 5th in the Grade 3 Agility today after leading the class for most of the way. Another huge cheer for Rachel and Amos, who not only got his first KC Clear Round today, but came 5th in the class!!
They will be a few sore heads tomorrow I think!
Sunday update: Wendy and Geordie came 4th today in Grade 3 Agility - going steadily upwards.....well done! And at the ABC Show at Winterton, Helen and Lucy got a lovely clear on the 1-3 agility today and Jock finished the weekend off with a super clear in the steeplechase.
Further update - Kirsty and Maisie Mouse have won out of Grade 1 into Grade 2!! Congratulations!

What a weekend!!!!

As far as I know, the biggest success this weekend was Wendy and Kyle winning the Graded 4 to 7 Agility (Grade 5 section) at Hare 'n Hounds Show at Redcar and moving up to Grade 6.

He also got a 9th place

But, meanwhile, at Dog Vegas, Sarah and Tilly qualified for the First Contact final by getting a 5th in the agility,

and Kirsty and Maisie got a 3rd in one of their classes.

Brenda and Bryn managed an 8th in Combined 4 to 7 Jumping at Redcar and a 10th in Combined 4 to 7 Agility, plus a couple of other unplaced clears.

Jules' Jette also managed a Clear Round at Vegas.

I'm sure there were other results too, so I'll update when I get them.

Tonight's Training
Sorry everyone, but training is cancelled. So many people are unable to make it, and with snowy roads likely to get icy later on, we felt it was for the best.
Hope to see you all next week!
