2012 Summer Fun Runs

Really Fun Runs for Novice Agility:  Gain confidence in trialing and lose your jitters!  These fun runs will be for students who have never trialed before.  Simple novice courses will be set-up and will be run just like a trial… without the pressure.  If you are a novice student and are likely to enter trials later this summer and fall, these fun runs are for you.

Teachers:  Holli, Shirley, and Susie
Day:  Saturday
Dates:  June 9, July 14, and August 11
Time:  9 a.m.
Cost:  $10 for as many runs as you want

Kathy Nickell July 4th Fun Run: Last year on the 4th of July, DAD lost one of our most active members: Kathy Nickell. This year to commemorate Kathy and to celebrate all she did for DAD, we're going to have a Fun Run and Picnic for the membership. It will be at the field and we'll try and set a couple of courses at different levels so everyone can come out and have fun! 

Fun Runs:  The training committee encourages any club member to set up a club fun run.  With two trials later this summer, it would be great to have the opportunity to work in the trial setting.  If you are interested, please contact Eric to come up with some possible dates.  June, July, and September are good months to consider based on our current calendar.  Thanks for considering!!
