Hi All Western Province Regionals 2012 are now a thing of the past and I must thank, most sincerely EVERYONE who was involved for contributing to its success. Congratulations to those who achieved their goals and to those that might not have, your spirit and sportsmanship was wonderful!. Thank you to Norman Henshilwood High School; all the judges, Lindsay, Chantal and Linda for Snooker and Gamblers and Fiona, Hannelie, Riette and Mark for Agility and Jumping; Linda, Jackie, Kath and Mandy for keeping in touch with WP handlers; Annaret and Riette for accumulating and loading entries; Lorna for assisting with the scoring; ring stewards Michelle Labuschagne, Shelley Colledge, Jackie van Heerden, Kariema Williams, Lesley Ball, Karin Rossler, Monika Frey, Marizelle Strydom, Chris Smith, Phyllis Gouws, Trish Bronslow, Angus Bradley, Dawn and Ian Hall, Honor and Megan North, Leigh-Ann Curtis-Cox, Joy, Denise and Yolande from Cape Province Dog Club and Silvia Stringer from Jump. My aim for this year was to enable competing handlers to concentrate on their own dogs and to watch and support others. There were 100 dogs entered over the 3 days and this was accomplished with the help of all these non-competing volunteers. Jackie and Linda's groups worked hard with all the course building and everyone else stepped in to help with equipment where possible. Our sponsors' generosity enabled SADAA WP to give every handler and helper a "consumable" welcome bag and our thanx must go to: MONTEGO, Agility Academy, Ansie Minnaar, Dr Sonia Bowers, Environ, Glendyr Lilley, Healthy Pet Accessories, Herbalpet, Hilary Jordaan, Jump Agility, Marlize Neethling, Marrypak, Perky Pets, Pet Hydrotherapy Unit, Pfizer, Pick 'n Pay, ProBono, Protea Hotels, Rigrite Transport, Rushford's Rosettes, SADAA WP, Sun Things, Virbac Animal Health, Kariema Williams and Zola van Greunen. Thank u also to all the handlers for making these contacts. Last but definitely at the top of my list, my Agility Academy partners, Lindsay, Chantal and Marlize, for their continuous support! Debbie Regional Director, SADAA WP PS: If I have left anyone out, please let me know – my lists have lists and I might just have forgotten to mention someone.!!
Below is an accumulation of emails received complimenting WP on their RT. Thank u all for the feedback. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Debs From me as your friend, well done on a really well run, fun and complaint free RT. Your organisational skills were put to good use and you really pulled it off! The best part for me was having an Agility Trial where games were on a separate day to the agility and jumping. The vibe around the ring was great all the time, I heard few complaints and the support from handlers for the competitor in the ring was fantastic. Because of the ring layout and the stewards, there were also fewer instances of dogs being in each other's space. If I wore a hat I would take it off to youJ You thought of every detail and you can be very proud of a job well done. Lindsay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Debbie On behalf of all at Agility Academy, thank you for a FANTASTIC Regional Trial. The organisation was superb, and I know all the things you do behind the scenes as well as up close and personal. Everything was thought of and the trial ran very, very well. The vibe was excellent and the only complaint I heard was about the weather on Friday ( Maybe you could so something about that next year)J Very well done to you and your WP RT Committee. Lindsay King & all at Agility Academy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debbie you did a fantastic job with the RT this year. Congratulations and well done. Well done again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Debbie A huge thank you to you and your committee for making judging your trials such a pleasure.
