CLASSIC DOG SHOW – SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1ST – CHANGE OF TIME

After due consideration, due to forecast weather conditions, it has been decided to move the 60th Anniversary Classic Dog Show to a Twilight Show. There has been considered discussion with the Committee, the VCA and our Judges before a final decision was made.

The following amendments have been made with consideration to the Shows running the day before and after the Classic, and in consideration of the health and well-being of all judges, officials, exhibitors and dogs.

New arrangements:

• The Show will start at 5pm sharp with the Classic Guineas Class (25 entries)

• Breed classes (920 entries) will commence at the conclusion of the Guineas

• There will be NO Junior Handlers classes conducted

• There will be no breaks in judging, apart from refreshments for judges and officials in their rings

• General Specials will be conducted directly after the conclusion of breed judging (and exhibitors are invited to join us for a drink to celebrate the Classic's 60th Milestone)

We hope that exhibitors embrace this change of starting time, and we understand that no set of arrangements will suit all, but we believe this change will provide the best outcome for most.

On behalf of the Classic Committee, we wish all exhibitors the very best for our Show, and we hope to see you join our 60th Anniversary celebrations, marking 60 years of work to improve facilities and conditions for Victorian Dog Exhibitors.

PLEASE CROSS POST this message, and share with anyone you think might not access social media and other related internet sites. Our aim was an early decision so that everyone will know of the changes, and we can reorganise officials where necessary.
