yurrugar Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Well I must say I am most disappointed with the lack of parking for this show. I arrived at the show quite early this morning, joined the queue and as I was waiting 2 cars back the carpark full sign went up. OK that's fine, sometimes happens. The problem here was that there was no extra parking available on the road or nearby and I was told that the nearest parking was at the shopping centre some distance away. Trolleys etc could be unloaded first but the vehicles had to be taken away. I think that if nothing can be done to improve this situation for next year then entry numbers should be limited. Mind you, I won't be entering again for one. I turned around and came back to Melbourne rather than face the prospect of trudging a long distance in the heat of the day to pick up my car and the inevitable congestion at the end of the show. On the bright side I was home again by 8.45am and will just take my dogs for a walk while it is still cool. Glad I wasn't the only one then who turned around and went home. This was after they wanted to charge me an additional $20 for my passenger (it was never in the schedule that you had to pay for passengers). There was at least 8 cars behind me when I was at the gate, so I wonder how these people got on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I believe the Junior Dally bitch, Ch Paceaway Revenge, was awarded RUBIS for the Open show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 There were many people who had no passes/numbers myself included. I did not like the two your girls stopping cars JUST as you turned into the grounds, this left cars on the road blocking it to oncoming traffic just as the other cars turned the corner, VERY dangerous. You then drove 20mtrs and there were more people to go through before you hit the grounds. I think parking is dealt with by the Agi show and not the dog people.

Bilbo Baggins Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Well we had a bonus for our parking. But it was poorly managed, if the actual parking had been supervised more cars would have got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workers Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks you for saying that. My thoughts as well. I was so unhappy at having to turn around and go back to Melbourne without showing my dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophnbark Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Knowing what the parking is always like at this show, we were there at 6am but wouldn't want to have got there much later. Parking is always a debacle and trying to get out with cars parked behind you is never easy Also would like to say that if the rings had been marked for each group it would have caused a lot less frustration for the early birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I got there at 7am and i think there were just a few car parks left at that point near the oval! I heard that locating which ring was which was a debarcle! Glad that I had friends who got there earlier and sorted it out so I knew where I was going!

Beth24 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I was there at 7.20am and car park was full so had to drive in to unload and leave to park my car elsewhere. It took me 40 minutes to do this!! Judging had started and I was in a little panic but luckily got in, dogs groomed and straight in ring just in time. A++ for the female toilets kept clean and pleasant the whole day. Was a great day for me with my Chinese Crested Powderpuff - Mohawk shes got talent - winning Minor Puppy In Group at both the Champ and Open Show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me 40 minutes to do this!! Judging had started and I was in a little panic but luckily got in, dogs groomed and straight in ring just in time. It was funny, I got there at about 7:45, almost 8. The parking attendant all packed up and finished when we arrived, I just parked at the tennis court cark park! No one came near my car for passes, so I just drove past and got a parking there! . Edited February 25, 2013 by Tambaqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
