Dogs for Englefield (near Theale)

Both teams Sunday 25th May only.

Racers - Darcy, Harry, Milly, Freya (and Breagh... but we need spare dog handlers !)

Rockers - Ruby, Lacy, Radley and either CJ or Jace depending on the seed time ... will probably be CJ and running to a slower seed time.

In desperate need of helpers to ball collect, line call, box load, dog handle etc .... so if you want to come along and help let Andy know.

Movers and Shakers...

... Results are in from Acremead...

Movers:

Jace gets Flyball Dog Graduate.... point of mention, Jace and Darcy are neck and neck as the fastest points earning dogs of the team... getting to Flyball Dog Graduate after 11 races is pretty awesome :-)

And Breagh gets Flyball Dog after earning a massive 160 points... not bad for a dog who spooked in the afternoon and missed a race... came good in the end !

Future Shakers:

If Alfie scores the same amount of points from Acremead in his next race then he will get his Silver award (First "pure" Rooky Racer dog to do this !).

Mist is 230 points away from Flyball Dog Graduate (will she over take Bruiser though ?!).

Freya is 145 points away from Flyball Dog Intermediate ... doing well.

Current seed times:
Racers = 19:61
Rascals = 19:91
Raiders = 20:99
Rebounds = TBA but will will be around 24:00

Next stop, Basingstoke, where Jess, Tess and Ollie will be racing in their first ever Open competition... exciting times :-)

2014 Charity Events

This year, as Flyball becomes better known, we have been asked by quite a few charities, and dog shows, to run Flyball demos, and "Have a go" sessions, for local events.

Unfortunately we have had to turn most down, there is only so much we can do with holidays, competitions and training !.

This year we have chosen two charity events to attend.

The first is on Sunday 6th July and is at Calthorpe Park in Fleet; there will be lots to do with your dog http://www.fleetcarnival.org/Dog-Show.html

The second will be Paws In The Park run by Bracknell council (especially happy to attend this event as Bracknell council have been so supportive in helping us find, and then let us use, Longhill Park as our training ground).

This year Paws In The Park will be at a larger venue http://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/southhillpark and is on Saturday 9th August.

If you can come along to either event and help run the "Have a go", or race your dog in the demo, that would be great (especially July 6th) please let me know.

This year we will charge a small fee at both events for "Have a go" with all proceeds going to charity.
