SwaY Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Yes you are in block F - this is where you will be benched. All benches areas are inside, there is also a loud speaker which you can't always hear. You find out on the day what ring you will be showing in and at what time. It's on a BIG board next to the check in desk, this is where you get your numbers stamped to say you are here and showing.

Rebanne Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 be prepared to find you have been switched from your benched area. I've been to the last 5 Royals and we have been moved at least 3 times! Possibly because there are never that many greyhounds entered but this year we have close to 20 so should stay put.

Joan of Arc Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks guys Told you they were dumb questions but I just need to have it all set in my head.... Rebanne I think we will have a nice contingent of clumbers this year so we might get to stay put.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 do they judge the dogs in the order they are printed in, in the litle book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tambaqui Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I see Lowchens and Min Pins are in Pav 18, so same spot as where Min Pins was last year! It'll be my first Royals this year, so looking forward to it, I hope I won't be as nervous as I am pretty good at normal shows lol! I have everything ready for the Royals, and done my backdrop and display for the crate, but I'll be amused to have done all this sewing/measuring/etc etc, only to be set up where nobody can get through! At least my dogs will be comfortable and warm for the day! Still waiting on numbers though, had to get in touch with Estelle, and she posted me another one, so hopefully this will come on time, I'll be annoyed if Australia Post keeps stuffing around, and get it after I needed them!

Tambaqui Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) I have attached a photo of my Bench setup for my Min Pin for the Royals. The backdrop is basically attached to a velcro I sewed on with the sewing machine and had blankets and cushion added in it. It's set up as Min Pins are known as "King of Toys", so I essentially used that as an influence to dress it up, make it look Royalty in a way, luxury, spoilt, everything pampered and luxury and most of all comfortable! Probably a bit overboard , but they love it to the point one growled at me when I tried to get them out to pack it up! Probably got too attached to the bed too quick! lol Edited September 19, 2011 by Tambaqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariluda Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I would just like to say a very big thankyou to all those who have helped with info about the Melb.

Hi Sariluda yes I will have my Whippet in "Peperone Original Sin ET" I will be easy to pick 'cause I will have my club vest on & it has a embrioded Whippet on the back, the vest is dark blue, we will be benched in Pav 19 not sure which block yet. We will be doing this trial for the hell of it as my Whippet achieved his CCD Title at Ballarat on Sun :happydance2: We will probably be the only Whippet there on the 30th & yes I do hope the weather will be nice, last time we did Obedience Trial at the Royal it Peeeeed down with rain not fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
