Hi List, Just reminding you that entries are still open for Caboolture KC on the 23-25 of November. OZENTRIES is the fastest and easiest way to enter. Immediate entry, so no worrying about postal delays and you get a print out. Good news is, that even for those who struggle with computers and entering shows like the Royals...OZENTRIES is really easy...it's dog entries for dummies...which is awesome. So if you are thinking about putting in additional entries, or if you haven't entered, jump online and you will be entered in a couple of minutes.. We would love to see you there. Any enquiries please contact me on: 0754283420 or [email protected] Yours, Nadia Attridge Show Secretary

Hi List, A reminder that Caboolture KC has both powered and non-powered camping. All caravans and camper-trailers are welcome in the powered are adjacent to the rings. All other camping is available ringside for gazebos etc. Thanks, Nadia

Well list, we certainly need your entries....I have just checked in with Joy Lanham who is taking entries and she has said they will be open until around the 12th. This is because we have a very small entry. It's really very hard for a small non Durack based KC to put on three championship shows and an open show with international judges..and then to find that our entry is not even half of what we expected is quite demoralising. Soooo please come along, support Caboolture KC on the 23-25 November, and our great judging panel. Any enquiries please contact: Nadia Attridge - [email protected] Many thanks, Nadia

Hi List, I just wanted to list our judges for our November 23, 24 and 25 shows: Candy Way (USA) Jackie Perry (Thailand) Fred Salud (Phillippines) Sue Impey (South Africa) Lesley Chalmers (NZ) Pauline Suhr (NSW) Lynette Niemann (SA) We look forward to your entries. You can enter on OZentries, or via snail mail using the Dogs Qld website for the show schedule. Entries are well and truly open. Please contact me for any queries.

Hi List, I just wanted to take this opportunity to promote our Spring Spectacular being held over 3 days - Friday 23 to Sunday 25th of November. We have international judges in attendance from: USA, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and New Zealand, some of whom have not judged in Australia or in Qld. We have 3 championship shows and 1 open show, so there will be plenty to do. Two of the championship shows are evening shows to keep it cooler, and we are putting up additional shade in assembly areas and rings for dogs to help stay cool and dry... Our shows are able to be entered on OZEntries, or via the Dogs Qld website using the schedule and entering by post, and we are very lucky to be sponsored by Dogs News Australia...and we have a full page advertisement in their latest edition. Entries will definitely be open for the next two weeks. Our hope is to make this a truly national event, and as such we are hoping for interstate visitors. Unfortunately at present our entries are quite down on our expectations...so we are hoping that with your support we can make this a yearly event with a full international panel for future years. To do this, we need entries, so if you are thinking about the doint the shows, please enter them. The club is purchasing additional portashades and borrowing some to ensure there is plenty of shade in the assemby areas and in the rings themselves. There has been some confusion regarding camping and what we have written, so I will explain things: No caravans, or campervans can go on the main oval, but right next to the oval we have a large area for caravans and campervans which has both power and water, so it should be an excellent spot. It is as I said right next to the oval as all of the stands around the oval are being moved and we have booked the camping area usually reserved for horses next to the oval and the stables. There are no horse events on at the showgrounds this weekend, so again we will have increased space due to that. Any portashade or tent camping is fine on the main oval. The shower and toilet facilities are really good, and the food is also great! There will be breakfast available as well as food all day, and we are also looking at putting on a BBQ on the other side of the ground for those of you who would prefer this to canteen food. In addition we have kept the cost down to $12.00 per entry......for international judges, that is really cheap! Rings will be in place from Thursday lunchtime, so any set up is welcome after midday. Please come along and support our show, it should be a wonderful few days, and we with all of the extra space we have booked at the showgrounds, that there will be plenty of room for increased numbers. We would really love to see as many of you there as possible and certainly would greatly welcome some interstate visitors!!!! If we are going to be able to put on a show with international judges next year, then we need this show to really be a success, and to do that we need your support!!!! Our thanks, Nadia Attridge Caboolture KC Show Secretary

Hi All, Carol Blyth (Woodford Show Secretary) has asked me to post this. CHANGE OF VENUE FOR WOODFORD SHOW SOCIETY TOMORROW - please cross post to all friends Woodford Dog Section has been moved to a small space next to the Carnival Stall holders caravans at the front of the showgrounds...entry through the first gate. (NOT THE USUAL ENTRY) Parking is not near the rings at all, so you will need to be able to get all of your stuff in trolleys and move it to ring side. There is also limited space for gazebos ringside too as the area is quite small. No-one will be allowed access tonight/this afternoon either. It is not going to be an easy situation, but after talking with the show society this morning, they have said that the AFL club pulled out yesterday afternoon from letting us use their grounds, which is the usual spot. So the spot we have now is ALL they had available. Carol Blyth is obviously both very frustrated and very disappointed. We have set up the rings as best we can, but they will not be as big as usual. Please be kind to Carol tomorrow, as it is not her fault at all!!It will be quite tricky parking wise tomorrow, but we can only do what we can do. Please assist ALL exhibitors by listening to the parking attendant, and also by respecting that you will need to park a fair walk from the rings. You won't be able to sit ringside with dog trailers at all, and unfortunately even gazebo space, as I said is very tight. Sorry but we have done our best!!!! Thanks. Nadia Attridge

If people still have any last minute entries, please send them asap as we are closing the entries this week. Thanks to all of you who have entered. A couple of groups are still looking very sparse. $10.00 to show under an international judge is a bargain, so please if you were thinking of entering shove your entries into an envelope and send them off. Ooooh don't forget the cheque and the SSAE for return of passes!! VBG...Nadia

A message for all Dogs Qld Members Caboolture KC is hosting a consultation meeting to discuss the proposed constitution on Tuesday 6th March at 7pm at the Gamgee Room (the two storey building) at the Caboolture Showgrounds. The meeting is an opportunity for everyone in DQ to come along and have their say about the proposed Constitution and to ask questions or query anything (and everything). Several Councillors including Ulla Greenwood (The President) will be in attendance. This meeting provides us all with the chance to voice our opinion so please come along and ensure that DQ has the constitution we want. Meetings such as this have been held from Cairns south, and have provided lots of feedback already, so our local Sunshine Coast and MBRC area members now have their chance to speak up. Meeting will start at 7pm and supper will be provided. If you are thinking of attending it would be great if you could email me on [email protected] so we have some idea for catering, but if it is a spur of the moment decision, we will still be happy to see you there. Any queries on the meeting, please contact me. Yours, Nadia Attridge

Hi All, GOOD NEWS about training!! If the weather stays dry then we will be holding training at the Caboolture Showgrounds as per normal at 7pm tonight. (Wednesday) Vanessa Lougheed is coming up to take classes, so that should be awesome. Just remember if it is raining, and unfortunately the radar looks a bit sad in that respect there is no training!! Fingers Crossed for a dry night! Training is on Wednesday nights at 7pm. We meet in front of the Caboolture KC storage shed which is on the northern end of the Gamgee Rooms overlooking the main oval. Cost is $3.00 per dog per night. All participants need to be members to attend and membership cost $5.00 for the year. We look forward to seeing you there. Jason Attridge President

Hi All, Just to let people know, show training IS still on at Caboolture, and likely to be starting next week, if not definitely the following week. We still do have a regular instructor in Vanessa Lougheed who drives up from the southside of Brisbane to take classes, unfortunately Jamie (who has been outstanding) isn't also able to instruct on a regular basis. In addition other members also take classes. We have just been on a bit of an extended holiday and cursed by the weather. Show training is at Caboolture Showgrounds on the northern side next to the main arena (next to the Caboolture Kennel Club storage shed). Check our facebook page for details, or contact the club. Training is on Wednesday nights and is $3.00 per dog and to attend you need to become a member (which is $5.00 for the year) which covers our public liability etc while training. Thanks, Nadia Attridge

Also noted that one of the topics on this forum is about cool coats for dogs...I know that Paws 4 Effect are now the distributers (in QLD I think) for the chamois type ones...might be worthwhile having a look at that at the Caboolture KC Show on the 19th & 20th when they have their stand.

What a cool prize. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am loving mine. So handy! Ohhhh and they make great presents!! PAWS 4 EFFECT will be in attendance at the Caboolture KC on the 19th and 20th November and they are the major sponsors for the show!! I am hoping lots of people head into their stand and buy some mats as lovely Christmas presents. The smaller ones are perfect to put under whelping boxes or under collapsible pens at shows, or just for your pet at home :D :D . If you have entered and win, well you can enjoy yourself shopping at the Paws 4 Effect stand....great suits also available and part of the sponsorship deal!! Yeah....Paws 4 Effect!!
