Grooming Seminar/Workshop

[Tori]

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.

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.

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 

Michelle.....You have sold this event wonderfully....ever thought about a career in sales

Would love to come, if only to catch up with some old faces.....Kelly you may still be a baby in relation to me but i've known you long enough to class you an old face  .  Sadly its the same weekend that i leave my job and we're having a leaving BBQ. ..maybe the next one

Sue, the afternoon workshop session is for 3 hours (approx), the hall is big enough to accommodate Georgie & Daisy even if you only want to watch.

Not sure its a good idea to inflict my wriggly bottomed cockers on you all  ...am looking forward to hearing how it goes...hopefully if there is another one I can make it.

We've sent ours, so hopefully will be with you soon, we kept forgetting to post it.  Especially embarrassing as there's a post box on our regular walking route!!! (That's where we normally remember we've forgot!!) 

[Dunton4]

Thanks for that Michele.  I was worrying that mine might have got lost on its way, so I am relieved to know that Emily and I are on the list!  I think I'm just a natural-born worrier 

Regards,

Sue

[Steelygirl]

Mines in the post tomorrow - had to wait for my retired Mum to check her hectic schedule!!

[Michele]

Excellent, thank you ladies.

My head is a bit clearer now 

[Michele]

If you have any further queries over the next few days can you contact Barbara Ward directly as I'm away for a break until the end of the week.

thanks,
Michele

Anglian water have found traces of the bug cryptosporidium and are advising people not to use water that has not been boiled first for everything from cooking to brushing teeth, and for pets etc etc  until further notice. This is for most of Northamptonshire so it will be wise to bring you own water with you for your dogs. (I don't know if they will make arrangements for this)
