I don’t know how many times I have to say this (or say it differently so people understand), please treat our venue with respect!!!! 😣
For anyone who is any doubt; NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER turn the see saw (or any other contact equipment) upside down. If you don’t want your dogs going on it then put a chair or a wing on either end.🙄
When you hire the venue, you agree to our T’s & Cs which clearly states;
Leaving a SAFE course up for the next user.
Putting unused equipment away safely to the side.
Putting poles & cups back on wings.
Raking tunnel entrances, weaves & other heavily used areas in the arena.
NOT STICKING anything through the arena surface (there is a membrane underneath!)
It says this in the confirmation email when you book & there is even a sign on the gate to remind you!!!
I have been away since Wednesday at a show, this is the state that I found the arena in tonight (see photos)!!!! 😢
Come on people, we work really hard to bring you a nice venue, good quality equipment & are constantly improving the site. If you want to keep using it then you need to look after it! Imagine turning up to train your dogs & finding it in this state! 😡😡😡
Whoever put the tyre in the course, the distance between it & the next jump was less than 4 meters (KC state minimum of 5 meters between obstacels & in reality 7 meters is more sensible). If you dont care about our venue, at least care about your dog’s safety!!!😳
Whoever dragged out the long jump & then made the effort to walk round to field 1 to get the marker poles, there is a reason there are no marker poles in the arena, because we DONT WANT THINGS STUCK THROUGH THE ARENA SURFACE! It’s also a shame you didn’t have the energy to put them away again but just left them strewn around!😳
If the feet fall off the jumps, then PLEASE put them back on, don’t leave them around the arena or put them back on upside down! 😩
If your dog has a poo, yes please do pick it up but put it in the poo bin!!! 🙄
Please rake tunnel entrances, around the weaves & heavily used areas BEFORE you leave!🙏
Please also remember that we have CCTV coverage of our venue!
To all our lovely users, who do treat our venue well, thank you & I’m sorry if it was not up to its usual standard if you used it this weekend 😘
