It is good to see that the safety of the dogs and handlers are being looked after. Terry ________________________________ From: Bill Burggraaf <wjbj2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: gsd list <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, August 26, 2010 7:42:01 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] There is not a building large enough to hold the Agility on the grounds of the Davis County Events Center. Agility requirements are a space 110 X 100 min., with space for practice jumps in view of the judge. Agility does not want to be outside due to weather element possibilities. With our National usually in October or early November, we require a covered building for Agility. I Checked out the possibilities of renting a tent and hold the Agility next to the Obedience buildings on the grass, however, the cost estimates were in the $ 9,500.00 to 12,000.00, to have a tent without poles in the center. I am told that the equipment and man hours to put up and tent that size is the cost. The upscale Horse Breeding Facility, which recently closed is down the street about 2 minutes, has perfect building and grounds for the Agility ring. The cost is $ 300.00 per day with very nice conditions. It is always preferred to have as much of our venues on the same property as we can, that is our desire. It was very frustrating problem to work with this year. I have covered the venue needs in the past three issues of the Review so that all members can get familiar with each of the requirements. We must plan our locations to meet our needs. Julie, it is a good question and glad that you asked. I am sure others have the same question. Bill Burggraaf Does anyone know why the agility for the GSDCA national was moved offsite? Also, will the Parent Club be supplying a shuttle from the original site to the new one?
