The Good Citizen Scheme is run for members as well as for North
Down and Ards Borough Councils. The Kennel Club provide all the
rosettes and certificates for these events and the club augments
these awards for our members.
The Club's committee meet on a regular basis.
the AGM of the Club is held every September in accordance with Irish
Kennel Club rules.
Grounds
The training grounds are not for the exercising of dogs but for
working the dogs. They may be used for a quick bit of praise after
working has finished but the animals should not be allowed to urinate
or foul on the grounds at any time. Please also remember to clean
up after your dog. No parking is allowed on or around the forecourt
of the garage (the garage owner's rules not ours).
Equipment
Training equipment is available from Ass Treasurer Karen Murray.
She holds a stock of leads, check chains, bite rolls, and various
other items.
Councils
The club also assists two local Councils with their activities within
the sphere of 'responsible ownership for dogs'. We run training
classes and fun events and have been doing this for some years now.
Computerised Systems
As the club has now purchased a high tech system in order that it
may conduct its business affairs and the 'other' affairs of the
club, we can offer members, at a nominal rate, various services
such as:
Pedigree forms
Pedigree research
Pedigrees complete
The club also has information from the Kennel Club records produced
on all animals hip scored to end of 2000. The Assistant Secretary
can provide you with information from this data.
We can now also produce professional type schedules/catalogues
and booklets.
We can also offer this service to non-members, clubs and affiliates
at a realistic fee.
Tea/Coffee
This is provided at the training grounds for no extra cost. Please
use plastic cups provided or bring your own mug. Please wash your
dishes afterwards!?
