State your level, all levels welcome: puppy, Junior, Senior, Master -to total beginners are welcome and we’d love to see you expose your dogs to what they were bred to do.

First live flyer free if you have worked any event this year. 

If not, cost is by bird (as is cost for more than one live flyer- birds are discounted to $15 in an effort to recoup some of the cost to the HT). Take your dead ducks home w you to freeze and reuse if you like. 

Come train in a test situation!!! 

We will need everyone to pitch in and help, throwing birds/ operating equipment,  moving equipment, marshal etc. 

We will break for lunch. This is a great time to get to know other members and ask questions. Bring your lunch, water and a chair…. stay all day!

Fair warning you just might catch the field bug😉

Look forward to seeing everyone in the field
