Event organiser Jane Sutherland said: “In recent years we have seen several people within our sport struggle with various mental health problems and, very sadly, some of these have resulted in loss of life. We all hear others saying, “If only I’d known,” or, “If only I’d answered the phone.” Now is our chance to come together as a sporting community and show what we can do.”
Regional secretaries’ contact information can be found on the Facebook page via the regional schedules. Entry fees are: £20 first dog, £10 subsequent dogs (no limit on number of dogs one handler enters).
Entries are accepted by email or post to the regional test secretary and close on 3 May 2025. (Postal entries accompanied by SAE or email address). The draw will be carried out at 8pm on Sunday 4 May at the Test Secretary’s home.
