ok thanks and if for any reason a club member doesnt want to take part, they dont have too?

:unsure: WHY WOULDN'T SOMEONE WANT TO TAKE PART? IT'S THEIR CHOICE, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT'S NOT AS IF IT'S GOING TO COST THEM ANYTHING 'COS THEY'D BE RUNNING THERE ANYWAY. THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK IS THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT CONSIDER THEIR DOG NOT TO BE A "CLUB DOG"! IF THAT IS THE CASE, WHICH IT MAY NOT BE, THEN IT SMACKS OF A FORM OF SNOBBERY THAT I THOUGHT HAD GONE OUT OF THE SPORT. LET'S FACE IT, WITHOUT THE "CLUB DOGS'" THESE PEOPLE WOULDN'T HAVE THEIR "OPEN CLASS" DOGS' 'COS THEY'D HAVE NOTHING TO TRAIN THEM WITH. I AM ALL FOR THIS COMPETION AS IT GIVES SUPPORT TO THE GRASS ROOTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THE SERVICE THAT CLUBS GIVE TO OUR SPORT. I FOR ONE DON'T MIND MY DOGS' BEING INCLUDED, BUT THEN AGAIN I CAN'T TRAVEL TO MANY OPENS, SO I AM AT THE CLUB MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. LUCKILY, THIS YEAR WE WILL BE HAVING SOME INTERESTING OPENS AT THE OLD HALL, SO I MAY BE ABLE TO TAKE PART AND IF OTHERS WANT TO LOOK DOWN THEIR COLLECTIVE NOSES AT CLUB DOGS, LET THEM. I WILL NOT BE AMONG THEM! :thumbsup: :wub:

the person in question ONLY CLUB RACES so its nothing to do wtih thinking they dont have a club dog. the person just doesnt want to be part of a competition. THEIR CHOICE.

The points are to count from 1st Jan to 31st December as some clubs start their seasons at different times of the year.

So club secretaries need to be compiling a list if racing has already commenced for 2011!!
