Henty Show Society Update

[jan seary]

Hi everyone,

Closed entries with 334 exhibits, so a great entry for our first show in the

Southern Region this year. Thank you everyone and especially to all those

Terrier exhibitors who have entered under Pam Kilburn - one of our new local

(Southern Region) judges and her very first Championship Show Group

appointment. After Saturday she can be let loose internationally!

(a) Parking

With a total of 120 exhibitors, basically meaning 120 cars with almost as

many trailers, the Show Society has set aside a larger than usual area for

parking, so please bear with the attendants who will be doing their best to

direct you and ensure that a drive through area remains clear.

For your information, all rings are on the right hand side of the entrance

road immediately after the Sheep shed - as usual, for those who are stalwart

Henty exhibitors. The ring nearest that shed (Ring 3) is for Gundogs,

Utility and Working Dogs. The second ring along (Ring 1) is Toys,

Non-Sporting and Hounds. There is room between these two rings and the road

for setting up canopies, allowing for a 2 metre walkway. The Terrier ring

(Ring 2) is immediately behind Ring 1, and will be dismantled when Terrier

judging is completed.

I understand there will be plenty of room kept for dog exhibitors' parking

on the left hand side of the road immediately across from the rings, and you

will also be able to turn right between the sheep shed and the first ring

(Ring 3) and drive around behind the rings to parking areas adjacent to the

other three sides - or that was the plan as of today!

(b) Showgrounds Entry

At the gate, please just show your exhibit cards to gain entrance to the

grounds. For those of you who have (a) not received them or (b) left them at

home, the gentlemen at the gate have an alphabetical list of exhibitors so

they can check you through. If they have any problems I will also make sure

they have a copy of the catalogue and my mobile phone number. Please stay

cool, calm and collected!

© Weather

Forecast currently is - overcast, 20 degrees min, 37 degrees max with a 30%

chance of rain. We hope that judging will be completed before the

temperature peaks for the day, but nevertheless all Extreme Weather

precautions as per Dogs NSW Regulations will be in operation. However you

need to be aware that there is virtually no natural shade available in the

parking areas near the rings, so you should also be taking care to guarantee

the well being of your dogs.

Regards, Jan

I'm not going to Henty, but I think you should be congratulated for providing such thorough and detailed information for exhibitors. I know how many times I have shown up to a new showground, and had no idea where to park or where my ring was - so good on you!

Congratulations and especially to Pam Kilburn on gaining your group 2 licence, well deserved. we would have entered, but Sharon has gone to Bermigui maybe next time.

Not only good information but it was put to use and it worked..no parking log jams to my knowledge and all in all, a quiet and well run show without drama.

No breaks for judges so they pushed through and got done inspite the heat and it could have been a lot worse had they taken breaks. Yes they looked a bit melted at times, but they continued through and the stewards were great to keep the cold water flowing for them!

Great to have that kiddie pool available..my little pup enjoyed her swim, even if it was because we insisted she do it!
