1. The dog has qualified out of Novice
2. The dog has qualified out of Open for that particular sub-group.
3. Or a Vet's cert. is sent to the Secretary

Whilst it is the aim of the Association to allow as many members a run in Novice stakes of
the same sub-group as possible, if a member is drawn out to run in the first draw, they will
not be given preference in the second draw whilst we have reserve dogs. If howerver the
situation did occur (because of draw dates) that a member did have a run in each stake,
they would be asked to choose which they would prefer.

The Association accepts no responsibility for injury, loss or damage to person or property
however occasioned.
The Trial will be run stricktly under Kennel Club rules and regulations.
Should circumstances so dictate the Association, in consultation with the judges, may
alter arrangements as necessary. Such changes and the circumstances surrounding
them will be reported to the Kennel Club at the earliest opportunity.
No modification will be made to this schedule except by the permission of the Kennel Club,
followed by advertisements in appropriate journals if time permits before closing of
entries.
