Wobbly Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Oh wow! THis is tailor made for me - my dog is a frisbee nut. I'm even there at Australian Canine Sports & Training Centre that Saturday already for Nosework 101 course! I best bring a frisbee! Unfortunately I'd have to miss the morning session on the Saturday since Noseworks is 11.30 till 1pm. Is it Ok to miss that Saturday morning session and still attend Sat afternoon and Sun?

Yes that would be ok... Participants get a free disc as well :) it is not a pre requisite to do Sat before Sunday, depending how the morning session goes, Sat PM might be a sanctioned competition... But am happy for you to slot in especially if your dog already plays frisbee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordacollies4me Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 If you wanted to im sure there would be some interested in a Vic workshop :D Yep if you can get a minimum of 10 people, a suitable field to set up a competition sized field, we just need to find a suitable free weekend and I can organise for someone to come down :) Oh and Check out our Canine Disc Australia Face Book Page :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitka Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I can get a feel around Gippsland which is a couple of hours away from Melbourne but there are 3 main clubs here so im hoping there will some interest. I have a couple of people that are interested. Edited October 16, 2013 by whitka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordacollies4me Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Awesome... If one of the clubs could come on board would be great... If your on Facebook ask to join the Canine Disc Australia Group and we can keep the ball rolling on a workshop/ competition. And news just in all you. NSW loving frisbee dogs who want to compete, it has been approved that we can run a sanctioned competition in the PM session both days... This is also included in the cost of workshop entries...

bordacollies4me Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 The NSW workshop were great, all the dogs loved it and the handlers too :) and good news is it will be continuing in. NSW, find the Canine Disc NSW Facebook page, or the Canine Disc Australia one... To keep in touch with how you can get involved :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm currently trying to get a bit of an idea as to who might be interested around my way, before I get back in touch with you. But the most likely date would be Monday 18th March, the day after our triple agility/obedience trial (Coffs Harbour) then people could stay around after the weekend to do the workshop. :) How many working spots do you usually have??
