Schedules page - removing Shows  (ObedienceUK) 5/4/2020 8:52:44

I normally remove Shows (and the information) for a Show the day after the show, but if I did that I would also remove the refund instructions.

So, I'm going to leave all April shows on the schedules page until the beginning of May then delete all of them. Then May shows leave until beginning of June etc.

If Show secretaries want me to update the instructions please let me know.

Show secs .. Have you informed KC of Cancellation?  (ObedienceUK) 29/4/2020 13:39:24

It would seem that not everyone has contacted the Kennel Club to say their show is cancelled. It’s important to do this as soon you make the decision and let them know if you wish to transfer the licence to a later date or a refund. Bear in mind refunds will take time as the number of shows across all disciplines is over 700 and that’s just to the end of June! .... Sue Garner

Please tell me about cancelled shows  (ObedienceUK) 17/3/2020 10:35:38

I've started to put CANCELLED text against shows on the Schedules page that are being cancelled because of CoronaVirus concerns. Can all secretaries make sure they contact me when their show is cancelled email: obedienceuk@gmail.com, and if want me to add a comment (e.g. about your refund policy) please put it in your email.

i would just like to say as the show was moved first due to not being a bank monday then had to be cancalled to coronavirus but it would of been a very nice day as weather been great . i would like to say a thank to the judges and stewards how had agreed to give time to judge and will step in for me next year thats great

The committee of Stanhope Show have taken the decision to cancel the whole event this year due to the ongoing pandemic.
They hope to see you all again next year.

After a sudden illness Marion passed away on May 11th. Marion worked started in obedience many years ago. With a goldie Duke, then got a collie. A member of Wilton obedience and latterly Redcar and District Working a dog caljed Fen , Unfortunately due to the current situation. It’s only family who can attend her funeral Which is taking place on Friday 22nd slept tight my friend, Beach walks will never be the same 💔

We have decided to cancel our Open Obedience Show for 3rd & 4th Oct 2020
No entries have been taken. See you all May 8th & 9th 2021. Fingers Crossed.

PDTC Show Sec

It is with great sorrow that following the KC's announcement on Wednesday, myself and the committee, felt we had no alternative than to cancel our shows on 19th & 20th September. This is to safeguard the health and safety of judges, stewards and show helpers, many of those are in the vulnerable age group and like most societies rely on these stalwarts for the running of the shows.
In 38 years (this would have been my 39 year as show secretary) I have never had to cancel a show and in fact being at the end of the season have been able to help other clubs reschedule their events, unfortunately the cruel and unpredictable virus as beaten us all, not even Sandwell can help us out this year.
I have been able to inform all judges for 2020 and 21 and ticket judges for 2023 and the vast majority have been able to move their contracts to the following year. This has been a great relief to me and I am truly grateful for your co-operation.
Sorry if this as spoiled your weeks holiday in the Midlands but stay safe and we should all be able to enjoy it next year.
Best wishes from a very disappointed secretary.

Show cancellation.
We have decided to cancel our obedience show on Sunday 30th August.
No entries have been taken. See you in 2021. Stay safe at home x to can

Posted on behalf of Sandra Gordon:

It is with great sadness we will be cancelling our show this year as we have to make Health and safety our 1st priority for all our judges members and competitors look for to seeing you next year .Please stay safe

Unfortunately we have had to cancel Elm Park's show this year due to the KC's latest announcement. It really is a shame as it was Thurrock's last year. Hopefully next year will be back with Elm Park running both days.

Keep safe everyone.

Julie

It’s with a very heavy heart I have to announce that after the latest KC announcement, Thurrock is cancelled 😰 Elm Park also, but Julie Appleton will add a few words herself. It’s such a shame it’s come to this, as it was to be our last show. I’d like to thank again all the judges who’d agreed to judge this year (all notified already) and everyone who’s judged for us in the past. Our very first Open Show was way back in 1983, so it’s been a long time. Tough to end like this, but better for us all to stay safe. Take care everyone, and hope to see you around the shows next year x

Sadly, in view of the current pandemic and the uncertainty of future safeguarding restrictions, the committee has decided to cancel our show scheduled for the 27th September 2020.

Hopefully we look forward to seeing you all in 2021 at our Open Show on 28th March and our Championship Show on 26th September.

Keep safe

Sue Evans, Secretary

Hi all
Sadly, due to the current circumstances and recent updates, Ditton weekend show will not be going ahead this year.
Next year the dates are 21st and 22nd August 2021. Could I ask that all judges that can trf their judging appointment across to next year to comment below or let Teresa Paterson know.
Hopefully we will have a full line up of judges ready for next years show.
Thanks
Teresa

Hi les i have just my subscription for obedience uk
regards Ann Moore sorry my email not working at the moment

I’ve been following Steve White’s progress in fighting Covid19 through reading Rob Bint’s daily updates - thanks Rob!
I’m so pleased to learn he’s now beginning to sit up, eat and drink a little and taking steps to communicate with his family.

And I had an idea that it would be great if the Obedience Community also started to send more messages of support and encouragement to Steve... letting him know how many of us are supporting him from our homes. My first thought was to send a card... and for others to do so too... but obviously that’s just not possible...

So, after messaging Rob and liaising with Steve’s family, we’ve sort of got an idea... 💡

If you know Steve personally and even if you don’t, you can send a photo of yourself with your dog/dogs... heelwork in competition, a prize-winners pose, or a picture of you chilling at home... just so he can see who you are - he might recognise you or have memories of you?

And with your photo you can send him a short message... could be good wishes, or an introduction to tell him something about yourself - especially if you don’t know each other yet - or introduce your dogs, new pup, etc...
You could send a funny message, an anecdote, a joke - the more variety the better! It will give Steve something to read as he begins to recover and he will know more about the lovely Obedience people who’ve been following his time in hospital, praying for his recovery and wishing him well.

To manage all these little photos and messages, I thought it’d be a good idea if I get them sent to me.
Then I can copy and paste them together in sets using word documents, with maybe 4-6 photos and messages per page.., then if I emailed these on every time I filled two Word doc pages, that would be a manageable size to pass onto Steve’s family, who could then forward them so they can be printed out in hospital to give to Steve, when he’s sitting up, awake and recovering but maybe getting a bit bored n fed up???

If you want to contribute to this, please email me a “small size” photo of yourself and dogs, together with your message - not too massive please as I need to collate them with other people’s contributions... I’ll copy n paste and email onto the family.

Send with the header:-

“Message for Steve”

And email to me at

wendyanddella@gmail.com

PLEASE DO NOT USE PRIVATE MESSAGE, TEXT, WHATSAPP OR ADD TO THE THREADS ON FACEBOOK.... I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK AND WILL END UP LOSING PEOPLE’S MESSAGES

EMAIL ONLY

Don’t all rush at once as I’ll spread them out over the coming days, weeks... etc

Cheers folks

Crufts Obedience – Vacancy

We are looking for somebody to take on the role of commentator for the two days of the Crufts Obedience Championships. As you will know the Championships are held on the Saturday and Sunday of Crufts at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham during March each year.

We need to fill this vacancy in readiness for the next event and would be interested to hear from anyone who would like to be considered for the role. There is no monetary reward for the post but you will be paid your travelling expenses to the NEC and will receive two nights accommodation.

If you feel you would be interested in applying please, in the first instance, send an email to champcomment@gmail.com with relevant information about you, your experience in Obedience, and details of what you feel you can bring to the role of commentator for this event.

We look forward to hearing from interested parties.

Thanks

On behalf of the Crufts Committee

If you have not yet contacted us regarding the destination of your fees for the show, please email me via Nbagsd@gmail.com asap

Please note due to the current Coronavirus restrictions, cheque refunds are not possible as both the other signatories are in full isolation & lockdown due to ongoing health conditions & it unsafe to post partly completed cheques to either & expect them to post them to claimants as they both live alone.

Payments can be made via BACS or PayPal directly meaning you are refunded immediately.

Now that both the KC & all of our judges have been notified.


EAST KILBRIDE DTC Championship Show on Sunday 6th of September 2020 is cancelled.

We waited before making the decision in the hope that we might be able to do something but it looks as if any relaxation of restrictions will come too late for us to be able to hold the show and keep everyone safe.
The safety of our members, helpers, officials & competitors is of paramount importance to us.
Fortunately we had held off producing our schedule, so no entries have been received.
All judges have been contacted and we hope that many will be able to carry over the appointment to next year.
Stay safe & we will hopefully see you all on Sunday 5th of September 2021

Anne Marie & all at East Kilbride DTC

Anglian Acorns Obedience Group Open Shows 2020.

Issuing this post fills me with sadness, however the health of our helpers, judges, stewards and competitors must take precedence.

Our shows which had been planned for the 15th and 16th of August 2020 have been cancelled. It was to be our first show in August having done battle with high winds and monsoon rain for the last two years in October. This year we were looking forward to the sunshine, long days, BBQ's and we even had a licensed bar booked.

All judges have been notified either by email, phonecall or on messenger.

We have had our 2021 dates confirmed as the 14th and 15th of August, with camping available from the 12th - 16th. Many of our judges are happy to carry over their appointments to 2021 - thank you. Once I know if we need further judges I will be asking for volunteers 😊

Thankfully we had restricted entries on WYD and those competitors will receive a full refund in due course. We had only received 1 paper entry at this point and that will be destroyed.

We hope you all stay safe and well and look forward to seeing you all in 2021 😊

To All That Knew My Dad . I have to inform you that He passed away on 23rd April 2020 in Sunderland General Hospital at 5 30pm . Due to pneumonia and sepsis .

Chris & Tilly

Danesford committee would like to thank everyone for their understanding in the cancelling of our 2020 show.
All this years judges have now been notified.
Next years show is to be held on 15th August and all contracts already signed for 2021 will still stand.

We hope everyone stays safe and we look forward to seeing you all next year...

NWKent DTC Championship & Open show weekend, 25 & 26 July is cancelled. We tried to have hope that we might be able to do something but it looks as if any relaxation of restrictions will come too late for us to be able to hold the show and keep everyone safe - so many issues to consider sadly. Fortunately WYD entries were put on hold early so very few refunds to be made and all paper entries & cheques will be destroyed. All judges will be contacted and we hope that many will be able to carry over the appointment to next year. Stay safe.

Sadly due to the current situation Gt.Yarmouth and Norfolk Broads have reached the decision to cancel their 3 shows at Plantation Park over the August Bank Holiday weekend. We would like to thank all the judges who have kindly agreed to hold over their appointments until next year. All being well we hope to see everybody then. Stay safe.

WOBURN SHOWS CANCELLED
Owing to the present Covid 19 situation, the committee has taken the decision to cancel our shows this year for all the reasons mentioned by other show committees. It is a great disappointment to us but the health and welfare of all our judges, stewards and competitors, and also our ageing committee members, are obviously our main concern. All our judges have been informed and I am grateful to those who have so far replied and are so willing to transfer their judging appointments to 2021/22. Online entries will be dealt with by WYD. I have only received 6 entries with cheques and these will be destroyed. Keep safe everyone and we shall be back in 2021 on 7/8 August.

Hi All

I have been looking to obtain a copy of Jane Ellen's loose leaf book on Crufts Obedience Championships but sadly despite much searching on the internet I have had no luck to date. Is there anyone out there who may have have a copy I can purchase. Thanks in advance. Mikem

I've just taken a phone call telling me that Andy Perrons lost his fight against pancreatic cancer this morning at 9am.
He'd been in hospital for two weeks on permanent liquid treatment.
Jean is being very stoic about it at present.

So instead of spending the weekend at the shows, I have instead spent today sorting out the refunds...these have now been posted to bank accounts where possible - expenses already incurred have been deducted from entry fees, but any camping and postage fees paid have been refunded in full. Just over 80% of all entry fees have been refunded.

For those of you who offered to donate some or all of the amount that could have been refunded - THANK YOU, it is very generous, and very much appreciated.

There are still 90 competitors who have not yet been in touch with me about how to refund them - please note that if you entered online, you will now have a credit in your account, that you can leave there until needed if you want. If you paid by cheque, then please remember that if I have not heard from you within 3 months of the cancellation announcement (so by 18th June 2020), then it will be assumed that you are happy to donate your refund in this manner.

For refunds - please either provide your bank account name, bank sort code and bank account number - by email to downlandsobediencegroup@gmail.com;making sure you quote the name the entries were under. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST

Please keep your fingers crossed for next year’s event!

Culverstone Open & Champ show in July. Following the announcement today that lockdown is going to continue for at least another 3 weeks we have decided to cancel our show for this year & concentrate on hoping we will be able to hold our Capped show in November. Please could any wanting a refund of their entries please email me jonewman@btinternet.com. I will contact all who so kindly had offered to judge for us in the next few days. Keep safe everyone. Jo

LICHFIELD AND DISTRICT SHOW 2020.

Following discussions with the show committee yesterday, we have taken the decision to cancel the 2020 obedience show.

We are disappointed, as we were all looking forward to showing off our new venue, however with the current uncertainty regarding the coronavirus situation, we decided this was the only responsible way forward.

The safety of our show team and helpers was at the forefront of our minds when we made this decision. Many of our team are in the at risk/ vunerable category and their health must come first.

We also felt we had a responsibility to our contracted judges to make a decision early and put their minds at rest, that they would not be expected to attend. All judges should have already received an email from us and thank you so much to all of you who have kindly agreed to judge next year (or the year after) instead!

We have 2 postal entries already, those people will be contacted and cheques either destroyed or returned. Online entries were stopped as the virus began to spread, so no refunds are required.

We hope everyone stays safe and well over the coming months and we hope to see you all next year. Our dates for your diaries are the 4th and 5th September 2021.

Anyone received or know when these will be dealt with?
Show has gone off the list for "Refunds shortly" on WYD

Unfortunately due to Covid 19, we have had to make the sad decision to cancel Hatchford Brook show on 1st and 2nd August this year 2020. I am sure you will all understand that even if the current restrictions are reduced, until a vaccine is available, the threat imposed by Covid 19 to judges, competitors and our club members is far too great a health risk for the show to be held this year.
I hope you all stay safe and healthy and we'll see you next year Annette

WIGTON DTC - The committee have today made the decision to cancel our Championship show on 29th August and the open show on the 30th in view of the present uncertainties of the Coronà virus. Pat Wilson.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic the committee has taken the decision to cancel this year's shows on Sunday 30th and Monday 31st August.
This was a difficult decision however the health and safety of everyone involved must be our priority.

We hadn't published the schedule, therefore haven't taken any entries so no refunds are due.

All things being equal we will be back in 2021 on Sunday 29th and Monday 30th August.

Hope everyone remains safe in these difficult times.
Louise
Secretary
Worcester DTC

Does anyone know what is happening re refunds for this show.

i haven't seen any info about it.

There are still a lot refunds still to be claimed from with your dog online entries. Could you message either myself {Kathy 07735357499}or Nicki if you don't want a refund please.

Re Solihull Open and Championship Show. 4/5th July

Hi all,
I hope you are well in this difficult situation we all find ourselves in. We have made the sad decision to cancel the show this year on 4/5th July. Because of all the uncertainty surrounding us at the moment, we felt the right decision was to cancel for the health and well being of everyone. We have a few vulnerable and at risk committee members and helpers and it does not seem right to continue with preparations for the show.
I am sure you will understand and hope you will support our decision. Our show dates for 2021 are 3/4th July.

Any paper entries I have already received will be destroyed and online entries will have a full refund.

Stay safe and hope to see you all maybe towards the latter part of 2020.

Best wishes

Jen
(Show Secretary)

Very sad to see nothing in the new reports section of ObedienceUK.

Come on you judges who have judged and not written a report. Give us something to read. Put a smile on someone's face.

Please remember you must send S.A.E.s for any refunds no later than 07th April 2020, after which date the remaining funds left from the entry fees will be given to Charity. Just to reiterate, the address to send them to is 25 Dell Close Bromborough Wirral CH63 0PP.

Cheers

If you sent a postal entry, no cheques have been or will be cashed. All cheques will be destroyed unless you wish it to be returned to you. In which case you need to send a sae to the show secretary.
B
If you entered via WYD on line, to have a full refund of entry and camping you need to send a SAE to the show secretary. Unfortunately WYD had sent the money to our bank and were not able to take it back and process the refunds. Hence the need to do the above and for us to write upwards of 200 cheques.
Any full or partial money not reclaimed from online entries will be donated to charity.
Show secretary Nicki Fildes Moss, address as per schedule.

Derby and District Dog Training club- Open Show 25th July, 2020

It is with regret that due to the ongoing situation regarding Covid 19, and the fact that our venue is a school, we have no option other than to cancel this year's open show. This is in line with government directives regarding mass meetings, and the directives issued by the Kennel Club. Stay safe everyone looking forward to seeing you all later this year and next year at our show.
Sally Collins show secretary

Have received confirmation from Val Bale at Sherborne Vale that their Open Ob. Show to be held on Sunday, 21st June 2020 has been cancelled. The few postal entries that Val has received will be destroyed and any entries via WYD will be refunded less their admin charge.

Anyone who does NOT want a refund will have the option to ask for their fees to be used for the 2021 show or donated to charity at a later date. At present you don't need to do anything to alliw us to refund fees first.

Please note fees will be at a reduced rate depending on the expenditure already incurred that cannot be recovered

I've just uploaded the new schedule for Burnbank DTC, Championship, 10th October 2020. Thanks to Janice Mearns. (Wow that was swift.)

So sorry this report is late,

With regret we have made the decision to cancel the show, including the Rally classes, which was scheduled for 27th June 2020. With your Dog will deal with online refunds but please cut them some slack as every show up to the beginning of July has been cancelled, or rescheduled if you're lucky. Any cheques received by post for entry fees and/or camping will be destroyed unless you email me pdq if you want yours returned.

Hope to see you all next year - 26th June 2021

Hi All Please note that unfortunately we are unable to transfer payments to you electronically, and WYD are also unable to help due to the many other shows which have cancelled before their closing dates. Please therefore can you let me have an S.A.E. for the return of your payments made via WYD. The refunds will be by way of a cheque. For confirmation, the address is the same as on the schedule, however for anyone who does not have a copy it is - Nicki Fildes-Moss 25 Dell Close Bromborough Wirral CH63 0PP. We will deal with the matter as quickly as we can. The S.A.E.s should be sent as quickly as you can, so that we close this year's non show down and start on preparation for next, by the way it is the 8th/9th May 2021, all being well. Nicki xx

COSELEY SHOW CANCELLED MORE INFO ON REFUNDS EARLY NEXT WEEK
TONY

I've just uploaded the schedule for Coventry DTC (September), Championship, 13th September 2020. Thanks to Stephanie Evans.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that Newbury & District DTS have had to cancel their show, scheduled for 14th June this year, according to the Government and Kennel Club recommendations. Who knows, if circumstances change dramatically, maybe we could hold a CDS or similar show later in the year. We will have to wait and see what God sends us.
All of you who have made a super human effort and entered already will get a refund just as soon as WYD get to sorting out our show.
I will miss meeting up with you all at the show, and maybe throughout the summer, but as Vera Lynn, that old-time singer said, 'We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day. That's one for us Oldies who, apparently, are the persons 'most at risk'.
Cheers
Doreen, Show Sec.

Event cancellation - covid-19

Expenses already incurred will be deducted from entry fees before refunds - it is my intention to refund camping, postage fees, and obreedience entries full.

For refunds - if you entered on paper, please either provide your bank sort code and account number, along with details of your entry - either by post, or by email to downlandsobediencegroup@gmail.com; or send an sae to "Grasmere, Findon Road, Findon, West Sussex BN14 0RD", making sure you quote the name the entries were under.

If you entered online, the funds will appear as a credit in your online account - if you would like the funds returned to your bank, follow the instructions in the FAQs. If you do not want the funds credited, and would prefer them to be donated to the Group's reserves to assist with future shows, then please let me know.

Please allow some time for the refunds to be made.

If you are happy to donate your refund amount to the Group's reserves to assist with future shows, then please let me know, and if I have not heard from anyone who entered by paper within 3 months, it will be assumed that you are happy to donate your refund in this manner.

AYLESBURY OPEN OBEDIENCE SHOW

SATURDAY 25 APRIL 2020

Following on from the Government’s directives and the KC announcement plus the likelihood of not having a venue available the Aylesbury show has been cancelled.

Please give us a few days to sort ourselves out and we will post regarding refunds.

Sad times but in the overall scheme of things the main thing is for us all to stay safe, healthy and look out for each other. We still have our lovely dogs and think of all the training we can do!

A big thank you to all our judges, I will be contacting you personally.

Gilly Hunter

Following the KC announcement, it’s with sadness I have to say that the Plantation Park weekend at the end of May will have to be cancelled (Les Perry)
Would all the people who have already paid for camping only, please send an sae to Liz White for a full refund. To the competitors who have already entered, please bear with us for a few days while we sort the finances out (and get new cheque books!) I’ll make a further announcement regarding refunds in a few days.
To all our judges, I’ll be in touch and really hope you’ll all agree to judge next year instead 😊

Message from Val Bale and Committee of Sherborne Vale DTC - the limit show scheduled for Sunday, 26th April has been called following the advice given by the government. Those wishing to claim entry fees please read Rule 11 on the schedule. Any money over after reasonably incurred espenses have been deducted and/or entry fees returned will be donated to Veterans with Dogs.

Teresa Paterson

I've just uploaded the schedule for Halstead Dog Obedience Club, Championship, 2nd August 2020. Thanks to Tanya Symonds.

Don't bother to refund my entry, give it to charity, Elinor.

In light of the escalating coronavirus situation we have decided to cancel our Open Show due on 5th April. We can arrange refunds, with a very small deduction for admin costs, in two ways.

Is there a lovely person out there that would like to judge a Class C at South Cotswold on Sat 9th May? One or our judges has had to pull out due to poor health. Usually fairly small C entry, sunny weather on order.

Where can I find running orders for shows on this site, please?
