Grooming Seminar/Workshop
« on: May 27, 2008, 04:26:55 PM »
THE SOLID COLOURS COCKER SPANIEL ASSOCIATION
Present
A KC SEMINAR AND TRIMMING WORKSHOP

SATURDAY, 28TH JUNE 2008
WEEDON BEC VILLAGE HALL, near NORTHAMPTON
(3 miles Junction 16 M1)

Morning

Kennel Club Seminar – The Requirements of a Dog Show Judge
Kennel Club Accredited Trainer – Christina Chapman

This seminar covers all the rules and regulations you need to know if you wish to judge at any show.  It involves a talk by our very entertaining speaker and a multiple choice test to acquire a certificate.  The certificate is required for any of the Breed Council judging lists.
The seminar is also useful if you wish to steward at shows or just for your personal interest and the test is not compulsory.
This seminar is not just for cocker folk so you can bring friends in other breeds.

Lunch

Ploughman’s lunch and sweet.

Afternoon

Trimming Workshop

The afternoon will start with a short introduction. The rest of the time will be a workshop with a number of people offering advice and demonstrations of different aspects of trimming for show and pet cocker spaniels.  You are welcome to bring your own dogs but no more than two and don’t expect a complete makeover.  Solid and parti-colour cockers welcome.

It would be useful if people with dogs are able to bring their own grooming equipment and a grooming table if at all possible.

Morning coffee and afternoon tea will be available.



For further information, prices and booking forms please contact Barbara Ward Tel: 01832 293432 or email BarbaraWatWensum@aol.com.  All committee members will also be able to help with information

Why not put your name down then,  :shades: :D

It is going to be a very relaxed no pressure day, just being held purely to help people in the right direction, whether for show or pet trim.

I so want to do the trimming workshop as well as the req seminar, but I have to babysit from 4pm so I don't think I will make it back in time up to J30.  :-\  Will have to see if I can negotiate on babysitting times.  ;)

I've just got back from our committee meeting today and I think it's going to be a really good day.
We really want to emphasise that this is going to be a very relaxed day, so if you have any doubts about not being able to do something or you think you'd look silly please don't.

We've managed to get a good group of people who turn their show dogs out beautifully to help and pass on some of their skills. :shades:

I will also be demonstrating a pet clip on my Halle. I'm letting her coat grow between now and then and already she is starting to resemble a Yeti  ::) so there should be a good transformation. Even if that's all you want to see I'm sure it would be of benefit.

In case of any misunderstanding this is open to all colours and not just solid cockers.

KellyS who is also on the committee, has done a fantastic job with sponsorship and we have some excellent raffle prizes, all grooming related. :shades:

We have quite a few names on the list already, and naturally numbers will be limited for people to work on their own dogs, so get your name down now to avoid disappointment.

Have I sold it to you well enough? I hope so  ;) :003:

Just to let you know that I have sent 5 booking forms to fellow COL'ers, so be assured if you've had doubts about attending. :D

For those that won't be able to attend, would it help if I had someone taking photo's as I clip and trim Halle and I could put remarks with each photo?

I would say video it but it'd probably take forever to upload. >:(

Yes I'm sure it would help, even those of us that are going   ph34r

I was going to ask if we need permission to video it  :D
