Ok didn't see posts above!!

Now at castle hill - thanks.

What are Castle Hill grounds like? Are they really wet?

[stonecutter]

Toys are undercover, rings toward the back of the grounds typically stay much more muddy. I think the order as you drive in is Toys, Non sporting, utility, working dogs, terriers, hounds. So hounds is usually a lot more waterlogged but a lot does drain away.

Obviously not as wet as Erskine Park

I don't think its rained as much out that way as at Erskine Park area, so they shouldn't be too bad.... That's my theory and I am sticking to it lol

Flyball is where the toys usually are (A comp was already scheduled to take place tomorrow). They are working out ring placements to make it all work.

But please do try and pass on to all toy exhibitors that they won't be under cover so if it looks wet they will have to bring their gazebos!!

ETA- I have never had a problem at castle hill and have shown on some pretty horrid days (with Kelpies so weather doesn't stop me). They drain exceptionally well!!

This show doesn't start till 5pm. I'm guessing flyball should be finished by then?

Is it an evening show?? Oops- flyball starts at 2:30, racing starts at 3:30 as its an evening comp!! So a full clash :)

Guessing both committees were worried about the hot feb weather.

Feel free to pop up and say hello!!

The committee will put a ring plan up here http://ozentries.com.au/news/ringplans.html when they have worked out the logisitcs.

The grounds will be soggy but not under water. We've had PLENTY of rain here, but because its hilly, it drains away pretty well. But expect mud by the end of the first show!
