Successful weekend for first Orana K9 Training Club Trials
185 EXHIBITORS travelled from Victoria, ACT, Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Bathurst, Parkes and Mudgee for the inaugural weekend of Dog Trials held by the recently formed Orana Club.
Judges and Stewards travelled from Victoria, the ACT and Sydney to run their eyes over the animals and pass comments on the quality of training and displays.
President Reg Parker was delighted with the turnout.
“We had glowing tributes from the exhibitors, especially in regards to the condition of the Katrina Gibbs Field which proved to be an excellent venue. Dubbo Regional Council deserves to be congratulated for the preparation and assistance they have given to the Orana K9 Training Club,” Mr Parker said.
“The facilities were also given an excellent ‘Thumbs Up’. Everyone involved said that they had never held trials on better grounds,” Reg added proudly.
“Given this was our first Training Trial and Club Members being relatively new at the organisation, it is extremely pleasing. We have no doubt that next year will be two or three times larger.”
The President expressed his heartfelt appreciation to his committee and members for their excellent work in welcoming all the visitors and making them feel at home.
Orana K9 Training is held every Sunday morning at the Katrina Gibbs Field (behind Officeworks) at 9am during winter.
“We welcome anyone who needs assistance with their K9 friend who needs obedience training.”
