Great Success for the Tuesday Invitation Class
The Tuesday morning invitation class is proving a great success! There are six of us and the class runs for 2 hours, including a break for coffee & cake. Mandysu multi tasks and runs her dog as well, seeing her run her dogs brings another dimension to the great training. Results speak for themselves, we were competing at RVA and Orchard Agility last week, and had an amazing total of eight 1st three 2nd & one 3rd, moving Katherine and Ted up to grade 6 & Ann and Tara to grade 5. Not a bad start to the season! See the results page for full details.

Well Done Stonebridge Ring Party
Huge thanks to all those members who worked on the ring at Colchester on Saturday. Ian Watts Photography has posted the following on Facebook -
"Yvette Dumont, you are a hero!!!! As are all the Stonebridge Ring Party, led by Mandy-sue Sarti, I believe?
I haven't counted how many dogs actually ran in your G3-4 Agility class on Saturday, at Colchester, but my estimate from the number of photos I took, per dog, is in excess of 150 (out of 171 entered)...
First dog started at 12:02 exactly - last dog crossed the finish line just before 13:24!!!!!
So that is around 32 seconds, per dog, in an AGILITY class - with all 3 contacts, tyre, tunnel and weaves (albeit only 6) and 19 obstacles in total!!!! That's not even the course time!!!
(Edited to draw attention to the correction in my first comment below - it was actually 14:24 that the class finished, so 55 seconds per dog)
Well done we all deserve a pat on the back!

Stonebridge Ring Party
Stonebridge are providing Ring Party at the following local shows
:
Burnham – Sat. 13th September
Five Rivers – Sat 20th September
We need the help of as many members as possible to ensure the smooth running of the ring, so whatever time you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you’ve never been to a show or helped at a show it’s a great way to get to know people, the jobs will be explained, and plenty of time left for running your dogs, or just enjoying the show!
Please let Mandysu know if you can help.

Calling all Stonebridge members who are 55 years or older!
There is still time to enter the 2017 Agilitynet Senior Agility League. It's just a bit of fun and free to enter. And there are some fabulous rosettes for the winners at the end of the year.
The summer is still young and there's everything to play for. All points earned at a KC, UKA or independent show count provided they come with a rosette and/or trophy.
This year they have added an Allsorts category for the more mature dog.
Anyone interested should register at http://agilitynet.co.uk/Senior%20Agility%20League/intropage.html
