Reminder that entries close this Friday. Tocal is a great venue for RATG with good camping and accommodation available and three very different areas for each trial.

Congratulations to the Maitland club for orgaising such a fabulous weekend. The grounds are terrific with some great runs set by all the judges. Very challenging.
The catering over the weekend was great especially the Sat. evening BBQ where everyone had a chance to talk and chat and generally relax after the 2 trials. A real treat.
Here's hoping the trials become a regular fixture on our trialling calendar. For those triallers who missed it this year make it a 'must do' for next year. It will be well worth it.
Cheers Lynne

Have to agree with Lyn. Great area, great camaraderie, great runs (although my girl one the first trial but didn't even qualify for the second one - she just wanted someone else to get the good stuff). Only sorry that I entered just on Saturday. Definitely a "stay-over weekend" next year.

Well done Maitland Dog Obedience Club and all your wonderful workers.

Wow! What a wonderful trial this was. The location, the seamless way in which it was run. The Club provided Stewards, full catering, a BBQ dinner and wonderful support for our sport. I feel very proud to be a member of the Maitland Dog Obedience Club and will definitely be supporting this trial again next year. The helpers should and I hope, do, feel proud of what they did and deserve a round of applause. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a finish for Stephanie and a first for Fly! Watch out next year!
