Canberra is a great course through the showgrounds. It was very wet when I judged there last year (torrential rain). I think Jenny Kenworthy has changed the date to TBA as she would like a better climate and less risk of cold and rain to conduct the ET. When I last spoke with her, she thought it may be held in September. Good luck!

The ET in Canberra is held at the showgrounds. It is mainly level though there are a few small hills as you go down to different tiers of level land. It covers mainly gravelled areas and grass and a smaller amount of bitumen.

The course itself is very well designed and, as the crow flies, you do not get too far away from the starting point at the GSD clubrooms.

It is a good course and I think well worth the effort to travel to and enter.

We might stop doing laps of the footy grounds now and get out and tackle some small hills, besides each time we do a lap and get back to the car he slows down as if to say " mum you missed my stop"

:rofl: love it Sir sniffalot

my boy went pchyco this alvo, he saw OH put a new bike rake on the back of the wagon & one of the grandkids bikes, (just to see how it looked) Orlando got that worked up he thought we were going for another bike ride.

Oh bugga had to burst his bubble :cry: no biking today

Someone mentioned yesterday that the Dally ET site is nice. I've only ever done Cherry Lake (four times).

Hi CC,

I judged the Dally Club ET in 2009 at Tatterson Park in Keysborough.

Personally, I prefer Cherry Lake, but the Dally Club venue is also good. The grounds are mainly gravel, a little bit of grass and not too much bitumen.

It is held around the Springers Leisure Centre in Keysborough. It is completely level ground, no hills. If wet, it could be a bit slushy.

Like Cherry Lake, the grounds are also open to and shared with the public whilst the ET is in operation.

Thanks, l was going to call tomorrow to find out when it would be available.

Does Test 1 and Test 2 mean they are running two groups ?

Yes, they are running two groups. Last year they had about 40 entrants, so it needed to be over two groups.

Group 1 will start at 10.00am and Group 2 at 10.30.

Wow that is a good turnout, we are heading up from Vic if anyone wants to tag along. Isaac's training is going great he's so different to Hamish, really nice and relaxed off to obedience to tackle that side of things with the little show pony.

Is anyone here doing the Ipswich ET on the 31st?? I'm not looking forward to the early start to get there but I think we've done enough training to do it!

Best of luck to all who are competing at Ipswich on the 31st!

Hope it is a good turn out and a good day.

:rofl: So do we take it that the CDX meant more - or that you sweated more blood to get it. :laugh:

Good luck to those doing ET this weekend - may the weather gods smile on you, and may you enjoy it as much as we did.

I know that there will be about 4 GSD's from Sydney coming down to Canberra. Looking forward to meeting everyone in Canberra.

My obedience club isn't happy with me as our club trial is on on the Sunday as well, and I normally supply a few nibbles for the judges for it.
