Thanks for that. It's great that there's some interest now from people actually wanting to drive the Club forward with me. Ian English ran a great session for us, I got a lot of good information and everybody seemed to enjoy it. Regular training locally with likeminded folk..that was the original idea and we're getting there . We still have a way to go and lots of ideas to make it better but at this point I'd like to say:

I've had a lot of help and advice up to now that has been invaluable that I appreciate:

Thank you Andy and Fiona, thank you James, thank you Robert, thank you Milly,Ian and John, but remember you guys, it's still not safe to pick up your phone.......it's very likely to be me!!

The feedback was very positive indeed, the handlers all said they enjoyed the sessions and how they were structured and thats the main thing. You're certainly giving them what they want Ali so good for you. The club creates a large amount of work for you behind the scenes and it's obvious how determined you are. It was nice to meet everyone and their dogs.
Well done Ali :clap:

Give the people what they want ,when they want. A recipe for success I believe.
It takes huge amount of sacrifice on a personal basis to do things for others reward.Only individuals who are dedicated and pasionate about the sport can deliver this.
I wish you well Ali,and all that you are achieving in a short space of time.

Now! all we have to do is get them cockers trained? :lol:
