marinapoint Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Right! LOL Just finished speaking with Bruce (lLOVELY man!) and basically, no nothing bar umbrellas, but there are some undercover areas (as already mentioned earlier which if you get to early enough will be sufficient. Sounds like I'm getting up before the crack of fart! PS. He did mention to bring your raincoats too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yes Sparrow fart if you want undercover, like being there by 7am is what Bruce told my friends and they are going to the show from Cranbounre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned by Shelties Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am usually sitting at the gates at 6.15am and am about 5th in line lol just to try and get inside..I am only showing on Sat an would assume people would leave tarps or mats down overnight??? I would advise not too leave anything down unless you want it pinched as I left a tarp down last year and it was gone the next day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikesPuppy Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think we're going to be huddled under a tarp Gonna try and get there first thing (what time do the gates open??) but we'll see. Heh. Not sure if I want to be cramped up in that shed either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sniffalot Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Not a happy camper, dogs groomed, trailer packed, accom paid, day off work and just rang to find out they did not get my entry apparently a bunch were stolen from the show sec's letter box. In our case we sent a money order and just assumed there was a delay posting out the numbers. l know 2 others that have missed out on entries too.

Sorry to hear you missed out, Maybe they should change the address to a PO Box to stop this happening again, how disappointing for everyone that missed out. Owned by shelties 6:15am are you serious!! Here I was thinking 8am would be nice and early Weather forecast isn't sounding too good for tomorrow, lets hope they got it wrong and it is a nice sunny day with light winds. I am very nervous about tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Can anyone give me basic directions on how to get there? I've been to Geelong twice and been lost both times Assuming you are coming down the Princes Highway, to get to the showgrounds is pretty easy. Do you know where Kardinia Park is? Go straight past Kardinia Park (where Skilled Stadium is), it will be on the left. Take the next left at the traffic lights, (Red Rooster at this intersection) into Fyans Street. Follow Fyans Street about 2km until you see Vic Roads on the right, and you have to veer left towards a roundabout, go over the railway lines and turn right at the roundabout. You will now be on Carr St. Travel about 300mts to another roundabout, you will see the showgrounds on the right. If you turn right at this roundabout you will see on the left a strip of grass that runs along the back of the dog showing section. Parking is allowed here and is probably the closest. Hope this helps! Edited October 14, 2010 by toofarnorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blakbelgian Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Good Luck everyone! And I mean with finding a spot to stay dry and in the ring. By the sounds of these grounds I doubt I will show there unless they relocate to another venue. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
