Solent Agility are pleased to be offer the following: for this month:
Thursday Training – This will be in the indoor arena until the beginning of March and will commence with effect from Thursday 12thJanuary. Unfortunately, costs will be slightly higher than normal to cover the cost of the indoor arena hire and the increased cost of electricity. Classes will be for a maximum of 5 handlers and will cost £13.50, payable in advance in blocks of 4 weeks (£54 per block). The aim is to cover all abilities up to competition level thus:
1730-1830: New Beginners
1840-1940 : Beginners (Should have a basic level of knowledge but not necessarily competent on all equipment, especially weaves and seesaw).
1950-2050 : Advanced Beginners (Some experience on all equipment and basic handling, must be able to complete weaves and seesaw (full height with or without assistance).
Sunday Training (15th January): This will be a one-off day of training open to all levels. Exact timings of classes will be determined once numbers and levels are known. Training will be outside in our field using our high-quality competition-standard equipment and will cover morning and afternoon requirements. Each session will be limited to 5 handlers per class and each class will be 1 hour in duration. The cost will be £12, payable in advance.
For both of the above, please email [email protected] to register interest/book a space. In the case of Sunday 15th, please state your level of ability and whether you would prefer am or pm.
Saturday 21st (100-1200) – Beginners Session. This is a one-off session aimed at working on developing your basic skills, understanding cues, body positioning and developing techniques. There are a couple of places still available so please email to book. Cost is £17.50 for the 2 hours and is limited to a maximum of 6 handlers.
Saturday 28th – The 2023 League commences. It’s Jumping and Steeplechase this month. Beginners will be in the Morning (0930-1200) and Grades 1-2, and 3-4, will be in the afternoon (1230-1500). Times are approximate but we will do our best to keep within the stated time period. Rules, details and entry form are included in FILES or available in paper format form the Let’s Go Manor office.
NB. The list in the rules of events has an error in that the first event is Jumping/Steeplechase. It is done this way as a gentle introduction to the year and finishes on an agility/steeplechase event as the final event. The April Agility/Steeplechase is also a special award event. The correct list of events is thus:
January , March, May, July, September, November= Jumping/Steeplechase
February, April, June, August, October, December = Agility/ Steeplechase.
Sorry for any confusion.
