If you remember at the end of 2004 there was a big drive on ideas for cutting down the Top Ten Calendar and preventing 2 or 3 opens being run on the same day and getting people to support clubs. It appears that the intention is to fill all weekend slots up with ONE Top Ten Open on in the country each day (i.e Saturday and Sunday) before having to start doubling up.

I'm sure some will have trouble attending Saturday Opens due to work commitments but whilst people can complain about not being able to attend we musn't forget that not everybody has Sundays off work either.

know Dawdon's open's last year were on a Sat. this year we have moved them to a Sun. because I work on a Sat. and I run the opens. I have noticed though that we are getting more dogs on a Sun. than a Sat. There are a lot of opens I would love to go to but on a Sat. I carn't. I know there are a few other people in the same boat. But some clubs carn't run on a Sun. Plus if you notice most opens up north are on a Sat. and down south there on a Sun. so we still have places to race.
