ALCA Septermber Trial Field Change

Hi All,

Just to let you know that the field for our September 3 and 4 trial has been moved. It is still at Olsen's Field just a different field on the same property. Access will be through the gate just north of our usual spot approximately 1/2 kilometer (coming from the South or 1/2 kilometer less if coming from the North). We will sign the entrance. It is a dirt road leading to a parking area.

The field has been mowed so there should be no tall grass for the dogs to get lost in. Although not as large as the other field, the sightlines are far better so setting up the course will be much easier. The hills will be a test of the hounds but nothing too extreme. The field itself offers great spectator vantage points. The parking & benching area is atop a rise & the field slopes down from it. The terrain is hilly grass, more groomed by far than what the pasture is. Camping is available. There are port-a-potties! no line ups.

Note that course plans will be amended to suit new terrain. Comparable distances.

ALCA June 11/12 2011 Trial

All in all a good trial. There were a few things like mosquitoes (I hate the little devils with a passion) and a bit of rain on Sunday but the sun shone brightly most of the time. The dogs ran well.  

There are a few words of thanks that must be said from the club to sponsors that provided us with items that made the trial go smooooooth. A BIG Thank You To:

Real Deal Meats Ltd.
Bee Bell Bakery
Save on Foods
Scona Cycle Honda
BOCCALUPO Custom Made Gazehound Collars
