Looking at the forecast
(long and short term) and seeing the flooded fields around where I work
(Egham, by the Thames), Andy and I have decided to cancel training for
February completely (the next 2 weekends) and try and start again on
Saturday 1st March. All other Flyball teams are in the same
“boat” ;-) and some have managed to find indoor arenas to continue
training. It seems there is a lack of free arenas in our area as they
are also used for horses who are not getting any exercise either.
However, if you do know any free, please let Andy or I know.
As
compensation for your membership, we have agreed to provide your first
competition that you enter this year, free of any charge.
Tiz
a very disappointing start to the Flyball season, but we spare a
thought for those around the country whose homes and lives are flooded
completely.
Meanwhile,
keep your dog lean and as fit as possible to prepare them for when we
do eventually start... I know our own dogs are going to take some work
to get back up to “Flyball-fit” levels. Our first competition is at
Acremead, near Abingdon on 12th April, and we will be able to submit a Starters team is sufficient interest.
Watch this space!
Chris and Andy
