All trials will be held in accordance with the Kennel Club Rules and Regulations and those of the Society.  The full set of revised KC Rules and Regulations governing Field Trials and GWTs can be obtained direct from the Kennel Club FT Dept.

ENTRIES

The Society FT entry form can be downloaded from the website (Working Section, Working Forms)

Entry forms must be clearly printed as illegible entries may not be accepted

If additional forms are required, please photocopy as necessary

Please use separate forms and cheques for each dog entered in each stake

Please ensure you have enclosed the correct entry fee/s

Please allow enough postage time to meet the closing dates as no late, telephone or email entries can be accepted.

Please either include an email address or an sae for the result of the draw and directions

Substitution of entries will be allowed

The Society reserves the right to refuse any entry for a trial

Dogs should have had sufficient experience of retrieving game in the shooting field prior to the stake and those that are known to whine, bark or be unsteady should not be entered

THE DRAWS

The draw will take place the evening after the closing date, or on Monday evening if the closing date is a Saturday; they will be independently witnessed.  Anyone wishing to attend any or all of the draws, please notify me accordingly so I can advise you of the venue and time.

Could anyone needing to withdraw either from the card or reserve list let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE on 01398 371537 (rather than email) - please do not leave it until the last minute if this can be avoided.  If there is no reply, please leave a message on my home phone and not my mobile; there is no signal where I live and therefore I cannot guarantee to pick up any messages on a daily basis.

DIRECTIONS

These will be sent out with the result of the draw

GENERAL

The Society cannot accept liability for any claim arising from or relating to the running of their Field Trials

Should circumstances so dictate, the Society, in consultation with the Judges,, may alter arrangements as necessary.  Such changes and the circumstances surrounding them will be notified to the Kennel Club at the earliest opportunity.  No modification will be made to the schedules except by permission of the Kennel Club followed by advertising in appropriate journals (should time permit) before the closing date of entry.

Anyone with a run and withdrawing within seven days of the Trial will forfeit the whole entry fee unless a veterinary certifiate is made available.  However, dogs that qualify out of Novice after the closing date will have their entry fee refunded in full.

On the day, please follow the red flag (for safety reasons).

No competitor may withdraw their dog or leave the trial ground without informing the Chief Steward; again this is for safety reasons.
