Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a great Easter, we were so lucky with the weather considering what its been like over the past few days!!

This Sunday the 18th of April there will be no actual training, we are having a 'socialisation' walk (dogs and people!!.) Start time will be 10am as usual and we will walk from the club rooms along the Ovens River Loop and then turn at the midway point and return to the club rooms. This is a great opportunity to put our training into practice and let our doggos have a sniff and scratch at some new territory.

Our next beginners class will commence on Sunday the 2nd of May, as mentioned above, so please let any friends who may wish to join know.

I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Take care

Lesley
