(Directly off Rt. I-70)

Non members welcome, too!

Airedale Judging will begin at 8:00 am, in Ring 10, which is the building behind the vendors, not the main building. There are 9 Airedales, 4 dogs, 3 bitches and 2 specials.

We have asked for Barn 4 for our luncheon, which is close to both the judging building (if you are up that early!) and the vendors! This is a great opportunity to do some Christmas shopping for all things dog, including artwork, jewelry, toys, clothing, grooming equipment (including blade sharpening), beds, and lots of collars and leashes.

Our lunch will begin around 11:30 am and rumor has it that the famous Airedale Cake will make an appearance once again this year! Plan on bringing a dish to share with everyone. Our excellent Social Coordinator, Nora Dudman, is still singing the praises of our members who attended the picnic at Frying Pan Park and were so generous with their contributions of food that her job was made almost easy. Let’s keep her happy!  Contact Nora by email or phone to let her know what you are bringing or to ask what is still needed (ndudman@comcast.net or 410-485-7820).

Bring a chair, your dog (a portable crate?), water for your dog, your luncheon dish and money for the vendors.

Airedale Square is always great fun. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, with lots of time to visit with friends that we don’t get to see on a regular basis, and to meet new people, both members and non members alike. Please join us.

Join us for a relaxed day with our dogs at Frying Pan Park, we have rented a Pavilion covered area that will protect us from the sun (or rain, if that is the case!). We’ll begin the day with coffee and donuts and the chance to run your dog through a Rally Obedience course. Someone will be available to talk you through the obstacles if it is your first time.

Then we’ll try our hand at teaching our dogs some simple tricks. Many tricks are easy to teach and you’ll get simple, step by step instructions that you can use to continue training your dog at home.

Our meeting will include our annual elections.

I hope you’ve saved the date! The ATCMW will hold its annual B-OB Match and Picnic on Sunday, May 15, 2011. (Complete flyer attached) It will once again be at the lovely Acredale Park, which has plenty of shade and a covered pavilion for our picnic.

Schedule:

• Obedience Entries Taken 10:00-10:30 AM
• Obedience Judging Starts 10:45 AM
• Conformation Entries Taken 10:45-11:15 AM
• Conformation Judging Starts 11:30 AM

When judging is done, Joan Schessler will give a demonstration of Canine Scent Work followed by an opportunity for all of our Airedales to have a go at it! For more info on this new canine sport, click on this link! http://www.nacsw.net/ This is a first for our gathering and I’m excited about it!

Some ground rules for this activity:

• NO PRIOR TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE NECESSARY FOR EITHER DOG OR HUMAN!!!
• All equipment will be provided, but you should bring REALLY good treats. The A list of treats!! Real meat and such, not biscuits or kibble.
• Dogs should be on a flat collar. Long leashes will be provided.
• In fairness to the dog whose turn it is to work, all other dogs will be required to be in crates or out of the area until it is his/her turn! Please be prepared for that by providing exercise pens or crates for all dogs with you during this activity.

I will be available to test for the CGC award for anyone who would like to do so. It would be helpful to me if you would email that you’d like to do so. You can reach me at mailto:clickertrain@verizon.net

Bring water and bowls for your dogs, chairs for you, and don’t forget to call or email Nora Dudman to coordinate food. Everyone should plan on bringing SOMETHING so that the job of feeding our group doesn’t fall on one person! Nora can be reached at mailto:ndudman@comcast.net or 410-485-7820.

Directions to Acredale Park can be found in the attached flyer.

I have to admit that this is my favorite ATCMW activity. I get to talk with fellow Airedalers, eat great food, and enjoy watching the Airedales interact and do all of the activities.

See you there,
Corally
