Hello GRCI members!

Our training day at Bong is scheduled for September 7th, starting at 9am. We will be meeting at the Bowl, and will be doing land work in the bowl or the field across from the bowl,weather and concept dependent, and a set up on water in the gravel pond. At this time the grounds are in great shape with nice cover and lovely water so I hope you all come!

Please respond to the following and return to Liza Simon Roper at your earliest convenience so we can continue planning!

Name of Dog:
Age/level that you are currently training at (its ok if you are a beginner!)
What would you like to work on at the training day? Just a general idea is fine, ie retrieves, blind work, obedience, line manners etc. If you are not sure, just say that
What other field training have you done or been exposed to?
Are you planning to stay for the day?
Would you be able to bring a dish to pass for the picnic?
If you have any concerns, limits, please let me know!

thank you all, look forward to seeing you in September!

Liza
