OK, this has been discussed many times.
I have talked to the janitor and he approves.
Therefore, I will try my best to make this happen.

#1--We need some smart people that can plan events to help us.
#2--WE need a location that can accomadate probably a dozen or so dogs to start.
(hopefully more!)
#3--We need ideas on the format.

Here is what I have in mind.

Central location, southern IN/IL or St Louis area.
Saturday training, tailgate afterwards.
Pot luck eliminates any cost or catering.
Everybody brings something.

Sunday morning training.

Equipment;
I have 3 SoG's but I am sure there could be enough if a few join in..

I thought maybe we could do a typical club set up.
Maybe 3 or 4 marks various distances.
3 or 4 blinds various distances and complexity.

Some fun competitions like a 5 bird scramble, fastest retrieve etc.
Share your ideas on stuff to run.


Every level of dog would be welcome!!!!

If you could help, pm me please or post here.

WE are going to make something happen.
I am thinking mid-March to mid-April.

BTW--me, Elvis and the Redhead will bring CC cookies!!!:D

What do you think?
Thanks,

Not trying to be a party pooper, but you would be going up against 12-14 FT's in those two weeks, spread out throughout the country...but if this is a HT oriented type training scenario then never mind...

back to your regular programming

is there a pet friendly hotel near your place Nancy or are you near peoria or Quincy? I would love to come and train with you all, I have a couple of wingers and electronics as well as some upland box launchers I am sure I can bring a bunch of live pigeons:p

Man! You guys can come up with soma the stupidist reasons why Ya wont go and have some FUN!!

In My opinion,, Ya'll run to many HT anyways.. Ya'll teach yer dog bad babits from running them to often,, Ya dont hold up your end of the bargain with your sloppy standards.

You go their,, and wanna bitch about the Judges, bitch about the set=ups, bitch about how many fluffy dogs are slowin down the 7500 dog field,, and THEN you go into a mood if they dont give Ya that 3.00 dollaer ribbon,, or,,, you think you is King of the world if they give Ya that 3.00 dollar ribbon..

Fer kripes sake,, forfit 1 weekend to go have Fun!!

I would love to meet that right wing Kook Stan, I wanna Hug Miss Pals,, I wanna Hug Mr Bora!!

I wanna go!!

So quit with the excuses,, and layoff the buzy schedule a yours,, and lets get this done!!
