Liz Hi Liz I am in NSW and although its a fair hike for me (much closer than VIC though) I guess Sydney would be the best bet. Dogs NSW have their grounds at Erskine Park and I am pretty sure that the grounds can be hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clover Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I would be interested with my Border Collies as well . Both love playing frisbee & are quite good at it, but i need help with my throwing skills (well lack of ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) I can provide accomodation in Melbourne if he needs it, there are plenty of ovals around in Melbourne and also KCC Park has a huge area out the back. Berwick Obedience Dog Club has two fenced in areas as well as two other ovals, heaps of space. I think Berwick Obedience Dog Club would be the best venue, due to having two high fenced areas.

jinkispirit Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I would be interested with my Border Collies as well . Both love playing frisbee & are quite good at it, but i need help with my throwing skills (well lack of ). Once the dog knows how to fetch, it really is improving the handling skills - for consistent long throws and consistent height etc. It's the throwing that needs the practice and what we need to work on. It's a lot of fun but like all sports does need training. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxersNSW Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi, I would love to help out if your doing a clinic in Sydney. And yes you can hire the grounds at Erskine Park. Not sure how much it is but I don't think it is expensive. We train there every week. Cheers Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinkispirit Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I'm the Secretary of the Brisbane Canine Disc Club, was the frisbee co-ordinator at WDG and have been doing national stuff with Damian. Damian is swamped at the moment, so I am taking over organising the clinics down south. I will be talking with Damian on the weekend to see where he is at. If anyone in NSW / Vic is interested in being the 'organiser' down there was well - in other words my contact for venue etc, please message me. I'm hoping to have presenters and weekends organised very shortly. ;) So don't panic - it is still happening and we are very keen to get it all running. The Canine Disc National Championships will be in Pine Rivers (Brisbane) on 9 and 10 October 2010 and the Qld State Championships will be on the Gold Coast on 5 September 2010 (run in conjunction with the Gold Coast Pet and Animal Expo). If anyone wants to travel up here with their dogs! I will place information on DOL as soon as everything is confirmed. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to the clinics coming up shortly! Kind regards Liz Edited April 22, 2010 by jinkispirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinkispirit Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I am still keen, and a friend of mine is wanting to do it with her 2 Aussie Sheps . Great to hear!
