What is Bob & Lush ?...

On Saturday I will be handing out some Bob & Lush dog food samples to our starter dogs (and Sam, Pippa and Darcy).

I have posted about this dog food before, but for the benefit of our starter dogs...

Bob & Lush is a premium dry dog food that sits along the likes of Orijen and Applaws as being ultra healthy and high in meat content.

However this also means it is very expensive... but when compared to similar priced dog food you are getting what you pay for:

The "RookyRacers" discount code that comes with the sample lets you have £25 off your first order and free P&P if you want to try some more (this changes to 15% off after Sunday 2nd June).

And if you do decide to continue to feed Bob & Lush please speak to me... the team have a deal where members pay much less than the advertised price.

Cheers,

Andy

Parking at training

With immediate effect.

To reduce the amount of space we take up in the Longhill Park car park can you:

1) On pulling into the car park… if the space in front of the gate into the park marked “Keep Clear” is empty please park here.

2) Otherwise please park along the back (closest to the road) starting from the far corner.

This has been agreed with the council as a result of a complaint by a member of the public… we want to do as much as possible to stay in this location…. there is plenty of room for us all, so these easy steps will keep everyone happy.

Also, we will now be training further away from the car park, so I would suggest not leaving valuables in unlocked cars (I am very guilty of this !).

Many thanks,

Andy

Dream Team Schedule

At the last minute Dream team have moved one of our teams from Sunday to Saturday causing us a real headache !

In summary:

Saturday = 4 small divisions, should be done in good time.

Sunday = 3 large and 1 small division, will take a while to race all these legs, but as we are not in the last division the chance to sneak off before the end is an option.

Saturday = Rooky Rascals, Division 7, seeded 1st out of 5 teams with a time of 22.25.   (starts about 10am and again 1pm (assuming no lunch)... small divisions so there probably will be a break).

Sunday = Our Team are ring party for Division 1 at 8:30am

Rooky Racers, Division 2, seeded 3rd out of 6 with a time of 18.96.  (starts about 9:15am and again 12:15... however this assumes no lunch, these are big divisions so the afternoon might start later)

Rooky Raiders, Division 3, seeded last out of 6 with a time of 20.22.  (starts about 10am and again 1pm, but the divisions are big and these times might slip).

Dogs orders still being worked on, but with the Rascals moving to Saturday it means some dogs will not be able to race on Sunday... as soon as we know you will know !.

If the weather is nice and you are not racing come along with your dogs, join us for a sit down and chat, watch the flyball, watch the agility, try the rocket run, shop at Snugglepets... and let your dog swim in the Thames :-)
