I have been along to the venue on Sunday, which was a nice sunny day. The rest of the committee had already been to the venue whilst at our November Show last year.

The French Bull Dog Club had a show there so it gave me the chance to get some ideas for layout to take back to our committee meeting, which was also on Sunday.

For those of you that have not been to the venue before, there is a lot of ground

for parking and taking your dogs for walks,as there was at Lightwater.

The caterer there offers a wide selection of foods from Bacon rolls, fresh home made bagettes, with lots of different fillings, and cooked food. sausages, burgers and chips etc. There is also teas and coffees and juice drinks for sale. This is all done from the bar area which is in the main showing hall.

There is a large conservatory area with lots of windows which can be opened if it is a warm day (please God). This will be used for the cages and dog beds, as they will not be allowed in the main showing hall, due to health and safety, kc rules, and space. Exhibitors will be able to see clearly what is going on in the hall as there are windows and large french doors into the main hall.

I have been asked by the committee to remind all exhibitors and spectators that

ONLY ENTERED dogs are allowed within the venue (thats those entered for showing and also not for competition). Please ensure that no animals are taken within the venue which are not entered, as we do not want to spoil peoples day by asking them to be removed.

Finally, the entry is I believe 214 Whippets making 240 entries. Judging starts

at 10AM for Bitches and 11AM for dogs as usual.

We look forward to seeing you all at this new venue to us, and hope we can do our best to make it a good day for you all.

If I can answer any other questions you might have please either PM or ask away on this forum, I will do my best to answer you.

Regards

Pat

Yes we are in the Ballroom, but no need for party frocks on this occasion - we thought we would dress down. Pat

Hi Everyone

Can I thank you all for your attendance and support at our show on Sunday.

We have taken on board all your comments regarding the venue, and will be

looking at alternatives for next years show.

I hope that you appreciate that we lost Lightwater due to refurbishments at the venue, and that they no longer have Dogs there. This is a problem of the future, I am afraid, as some breeds are not as respectful of the venues as our breed are.

We have been asked by our members to try and keep the venue in the same area

so we are trying our best to do this.

Thank you all those who suggested alternative venues to us, we will be looking into those venues along with others as soon as possible.

Regards

Pat
