The open stake is organised by the national club, the individual areas are responsible for organising the Novice trials on a rotational basis.

PLEASE NOTE:  The F/T Secretary reported that he had received an e-mail from Marianne Walker at the Kennel Club informing him that in our “Conditions of Entry” – "Applicants who do not provide an E-Mail address or enclose a 9” X 6” stamped addressed envelope to cover each draw for which they apply WILL NOT BE INCLUDED and will not receive a copy of the draw”, is not permissible.  Following a discussion it was agreed that the words “WILL NOT BE INCLUDED and” should be deleted.  Our Schedules will be amended for next year.
