The next Agility Liason Council meeting will be held on 13th July 2017. There's a big agenda for this meeting and lots to discuss including all the reports from the different panels. If you want to have some input then contact your local representative to see if there's a meeting near you. A list of representatives can be found here. The agenda and all the annexes (there are eight of them) can be found on the Kennel Club website. Even if you can't go to a meeting it's worth reading what is being discussed and what proposals have been put forward as they will affect you if they are approved. Links to the minutes of meetings can be found on the Agility Bits Kennel Club page.

End of year photos Well done Sasha. At the grand old age of ten she won two jumping classes at full height. In Jully she went down to the lower height and won again. Clever girl.
Well done Jilly. She had her first wins at Kennel Club shows this year and won up from grade 1 to grade 3. Her first win was at full height. She now does the lower height option where it's available as she's a smaller large dog.
The new dog agility game that has come over from America. Find out how to make a hoop and see a short video of a hoopers dog.
The Dog Blog - Jilly wins at Barnstaple Well done Jilly. She won her agility class at Barnstaple with her first clear round outdoors at a KC show.
The survey results will be out soon. Apologies for the delay which is due to health commitments.
