As President I’m so pleased with the performance of our club and the dedication of
all those members who continue to work tirelessly for the club and those of you that continue to keep me in line no easy task I might add. But most importantly it was great to see
Maree back at the club trialing and working once again just don’t overdo it Maree.
Members it is important to look after our health and your family must come first, so sometimes it gets a bit crazy out there, when we have a member sick or family issues, but that’s
the time when we need people to step up and assist where they can, and thanks to a few
great people that have stepped up to assist & help has been appreciated. I’m not going to
name names here in case I miss someone you all know who you are and as President thank
you for your support and assistance.
Guys what a great weekend we have just had. 2 Rally O trials on Saturday and 2 Obedience
trials Sunday, I must say great team work by you all, even the weather was so kind to us. I
must also comment on the continued sponsorship from Albury & Border Kennel Club Inc.
Shepparton & District Obedience Dog Club Inc. This was appreciated very much, thank you
for your continued support of our club. Thanks also to those that made slices etc. for our
canteen again well done I believe our canteen did very well.
Thanks also to all the club members for their assistance with stewarding and helping with
our trial & to see so many of our newer members working with us on the weekend is just
fantastic. To see you all out there working with a smile on your face the friendly atmosphere
is what we are about. Great club great teamwork and even better enthusiasm to make it all
work. This also includes our Catering staff Office staff and those that assisted that are not
even members of our great club. You have all done your club proud as president, thank you.
I believe all our judges did a great job over the weekend our grounds were a credit to you all
thanks to the Wangaratta Council guys who did get it mowed for us & those that assisted
with setting up for the whole weekend, from those little tasks to the bigger ones.

CLUB NEWS
I am happy to inform everyone that there will be a new perpetual trophy
in honour of one of the clubs founding members Ruby Eggleton. This trophy
will be replacing the Ian McBain Trophy which has been around for many
years and because hardly any of the present club members remember or feel
they have any identity with the name it was decided that it be renamed to reflect the work and
dedication Ruby has made and her contribution to the Wangaratta club.
The Ruby Eggleton Perpetual Trophy will be offered to those club members who would like to
enter their dogs into the Ruby Eggleton Open Dog Class on Sunday 29th June 2014
To be eligible to enter this new FREE class;
⇒
⇒
You must be a current Wangaratta club member
Dog must be 3 months or over to qualify
⇒
For eligible dogs that are either Entire or Neuter
⇒
The Dog must be entered in Sunday’s catalogue to be eligible
⇒
Trophy & Sash for 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place
⇒
Perpetual Trophy to remain in the club room. Trophy will be engraved with the winner’s name
& dog & put on display
The committee feel this is something that can be given to the club members as a special
acknowledgement of their commitment to our club
THE CLUB NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

committee to run the May Obedience & Rally O Trials on the 17th & 18th

Can cold water clean dishes?
This is for you germ conscious folks who worry about cold water to clean.
John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded rural area of Saskatchewan
After spending a great evening chatting the night away, the next morning John’s grandfather prepared
breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast, however John noticed a film like substance on his plate and
questioned his grandfather ‘Are these plates clean?’
His grandfather replied “ They’re as clean as cold water can get em. Just go ahead and finish your meal
sonny!.
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to
have tiny speck around the edges like bits of dried egg and asked again ‘Are you sure these plates are
clean’?
Without looking up the old man said “Look I told you before they are as clean as cold water can get em.
Now don’t you fret, I don’t want to hear another word about it!.
Later that afternoon John was on his way to a nearby town, and as he was leaving his grandfathers dog
started to growl, and wouldn’t let him pass. John yelled ‘Grandfather your dog won’t let me get to my car’
Without diverting his eyes from the football game he was watching on TV, the old man shouted. “ COLD
WATER, go lay down now, yah hear me!......................Meet Cold Water

Kyeamba Kennel and Training Club held their
Agility and Jumping Trial on 26th/27th April
2014, they were blessed with perfect trialling
weather and a very nice ground.
Wangaratta
members, Helen Vernon with Jip, Sharon Allen
with Mia, and Julie Rafferty with Jasper competed, while Patricia Looker fairly judged all (no
freebies given here). However Patricia generously gave advice to many appreciative trailers
just starting out.
Although the results do not
reflect the good work done by the club handlers and their dogs, they will no doubt
be trialling again soon. The usual problems occurred, a rail knocked down, handler lost on course, weavers not completed and dogs just having FUN.
Julie with Jasper had the luck this weekend with 2 passes in Novice Jumping plus
two 3rd placing in the ring and 2 passes in Novice Agility plus 2nd & 3rd place in the
ring, thus gaining their JD and AD titles.
Sharon and Helen and their dogs provided lots of fun and amusement when they
entered the game “Strategic Pairs”, this to be the first of many such appearances,
video provided upon request.
This weekend was reportedly an extreme fun weekend, with everyone bunking in
the one residence.
So come on Wangaratta agility handlers, get with it and have a fun weekend at
Wagga Wagga 13 & 14 September for Obedience and Rally O.
