Agility Dog Association of Australia Ltd

From the Chairman...November 2004

Congratulations to all who came to the 2004 Grand Prix at Uralla. After a somewhat nervous Friday when the rain was coming down, it fined up Saturday morning to turn out to be terrific dog agility weather much to the relief of all. The sportsmanship displayed throughout the weekend was terrific and a credit to all. We saw some great runs and some great times were had by all and once again many thanks to all those that chipped in and helped out to make it a successful weekend. I am sure you will agree the prize table was fantastic. It is always fun to meet up with members from further afield. Planning is already under way for next year and the addition of more rings looks certain.

The appointment of the next chairman will happen at the Board meeting later this month. So stay tuned for that.

As the temperature starts to increase please keep an eye on your dogs and watch for signs of heat stress – safety is the most important thing.

There are only a few more competitions for the year and I know for me the Christmas break means working bee time. Please check your equipment and make sure it is within the regulation guidelines and that it is still strong and secure with plenty of grit on your contacts, ongoing maintenance is essential to make sure we have safe equipment for all of our dogs.

Thanks again for your support over the last three years and I will see you around the traps,

Natalie Kirkwood
