Group slips went out with numbers (We Didn't take extra dogs for a late change of judge so it's no different , )Unless Mrs Rafton was judging 3 there is no change to advertised judge

The way you have written above has Group 4 on second both days - sorry to be daft, but can you please clarify this is correct, as the original schedule had them first on Sat, second on Sun. Sunday is UNCHANGED judging order . Group 4 is llisted second on Sunday. The reason it is now on second on Saturday is because::: mr Hinde is judging the group he was listed to do in schedual, that being group1, THEN to help us out of our problem he has agreed to do group 4 AFTER he finishes group1, So Yes group 4 is on second BOTH days, clear now

Please cross post to everyone

The way we have written the schedule above :))

We have had change to judging Mrs C Rafton has withdrawn at last minute,, Group 1 and Group 4 Will be judged by Mr I Hinde , Group 5 Mrs M Hoy Satuday ( Not Before 10 AM ) Groups 2&6 Mrs J Dikenson-Franks Groups3&7 and General Specials Mrs H Beasley Sunday Group 1 and Junior sweepstakes Mrs M Hoy Group6&2 Mrs H Beasley Groups 7&3 Mrs D Lee Groups 5&4 and General specials Mrs J Dickenson- Franks Sorry for the inconvence beyond our control

Camping is marked as you go thru gates of Arundel street ,Under the Trees :)

to those people attending these shows please note that the WHOLE dog area will be mowed late friday afternoon and then the ground will be assesed then to decide exactly where the rings will be. we are asking that NOTHING be put on the ground until the rings are set, anything put down prior to this will be removed and can be collected from office, we do not need the ground keepers mower to pick up ropes ect. Also as in previous years there has been some equipment damaged by vandels, and as this is a public venue we cannot lock every entry, so if you are feeling lucky and wish to leave you equipment on the ground overnight it is TOTALLY YOUR RESPONSABILIY. thank you sec bkc

Firstly let me tell you, yes I reserved myself a space next to the lunch room, to allow organizing that area,secondly "my friends" PUT their own rope down on thursday arvo, and if you had had a look on Thursday arvo you would have noticed different ropes on the ground in that area,NOT belonging to me. people arrived at about 11am on the thursday claming areaand to say all the area is absolute crap, the area you are talking about was a quarter of the short side of the area, and it was not along the ring, it was on the corner, going awY from the ring. Maybe we could leave this clear so that when you turn up at 8.30 am show day you could sit there!.if me and others that help at the shows cannot get a good spot yhen maybe you could put your hand up and help, instead of being petty. There was sufficient area to set up in, many group four people were also sitting in this area aswell

Ha, have just got back from Benalla where the committee reserved ALOT of spots for 'friends'. Not alot of room left around grp 6 that was certain. So they have contravened Dogs Victoria policy totally.

There seems to be some rumors out there suggesting that the show for this weekend are cancelled: LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR: the shows are defiantly ON. Although the forecast is for hot weather we calculate that judging will be well finished befor the hottest part of the day, the expected tops are around 34/35 Celsius for the days, we do not reach the peak temp in this area until after 4pm

If we were lucky enough to have a good membership, and also able body's to share the load this would be terrific. The point being made is that no matter how many "workers" you have there will always be typos, that are missing, and if others notice these they could ring to see if it has been noticed, that would be a help

Well rebbanne accept my humble apologies , as I said if I had noticed it earlier I would have done something about it,BUT I missed it, that must have been while I was writing up entries, booking accommodation, organizing ribbons and trophies, getting the office cleaned, grass mowed, cataloge printed, numbers out, shopping done so that the exhibitors can have an enjoyable show, as you noticed that group 4 was missing, maybe a phone call for conformation, and then I would have been aware of the mistake. BB aa I said it will be all sorted Thursday , and yes we do have an idea where the rings will be, but we will wait, as I said to see how it mows up, Austerra thanks for pointing that out, I would love to have 276 group 7 but no such luck, we will just have to settle for the 76 entered, see omg another typo that got past me, and others, opps

I hope that is a typo!!! did you mean the group numbers for Gp7 are from 480 to 556 (76 entries) and not 280 to 556 (276 entries) otherwise thats a bloody good entry for gp 7! :laugh:

As I said there is a typo, that is below in the judging time part. CLEARLY next to the judges name in the Vic dog it says mr r bessoff group 4 & 6 . That is the schedule, that is what we follow. So Friday group 4 FIRST Saturday and Sunday group 4 SECOND. That's it

Yes bb you are wrong, there has NEVER been 3 rings in frount of office, i dont know what venue you are thinking about. the rings will be set up very late on thursday night as some of us have to work. the EXACT position and layout of rings will NOT be decided until the grounds are mowed thursday arvo to allow us to determine the best areas for the rings to be on,there will be a map on the frount of the kennel club building late thursday night as to the EXACT layout. as the the club has for many years put notices up reminding people that their equipment is left there at their own risk, so if, god forbid somthing does happen we,DO NOT want people blaming the kennel club.we cannot seal all entrances to the venue, as it is a public facility. as to the rings and orders, there is a typo; so this is it: ring1 ALL weekend group 2 then 5. ring 2 ALL weekend group3. ring 3 FRIDAY group4 then group6 ring3 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY group6 then group 7. ring 4 FRIDAY group1 followed by group 7 ring 4 SATURDAY AND SUNDAY group1 followed by group 4. THERE WILL ONLY BE 4 (four) RINGS. if the committee decides that due to the heat that animals my be affected, then they may judge the group following group 1, that being, group 7 friday and group 4 saturday and sunday in ring 3, IF, that ring finishes before group1.THE ANIMALS WELFARE WILL BE THE CLUBS NUMBER 1 PRIORITY

There have been some cancelations at Rose City Motel Phone Number 57622611,This is a room with 3 beds and room for extra, The other Motel is Haven Leasure Resort They have 2 Rooms available Doubles Phone Number 57623434. Submitted By BKC Secretary

I have been asked by Kathy Humpries to post that due to unforseen circumstances Mrs B Henry cant fullfil her appointment Mrs A Lane will now judge groups 2&3 thanks all

Ours didnt arrive until the day before the show either not good enough when you have a coated breed and have to bath and dont know if your entered you put in a reply envolope and its not up to us to chase it up ! its up to secretary to get the numbers back to people earlier

The signs were all over the front of secretary's office aswell as ring layout !

Thanks to all that came to Benalla and made it a great weekend the weather was kind on Sunday with a cool releif ,Sadly we had problems again with vandals but as we had anounced and displayed signs you leave things on the ground at your own risk ,Sorry for those that were hit by Vandals ,The dog dropping on the oval is uncalled for we let dogs be walked on there this year And as a result they wont next year I personly dont think I or any one else should pick some one elses poo!! Our sponser Sab and Gloria K9 ANTICS were more than generous with there donation of A dryer each day for BIS was more than we ever expected Also coolcoats for there $25 voucers each day, The Benalla Motel who are so kind to let the dogs in the rooms in crates due to hot weather were very kind also, Hope all had agood time win or loose as long as you had fun doin it hope to see you all back next year!

I got a message for you all from the secretary about the Benalla grounds as the grass is drying of and we are busting our Butts to green parts up PLEASE NO TARPS DOWN OVER NIGHT use ropes to save your space If we are lucky enough to get some rain we would love it to soak in to the ground, Also no cool change here its still 40 at 10 am this morning
