DEFINITIONS:

J2.d.(1) Open: A Stake in which dogs have the opportunity of gaining a qualification towards the title of Field Trial Champion (K regulations refer) and towards entry in the Championship or Champion Stake for its breed; in which entry is open to all dogs of a specified breed or breeds except that such Stakes may not be confined to Any Variety Spaniel [except Spaniel (English Springer) and Spaniel (Cocker)]. It may be limited to a prescribed number of runners (J3 refers), in which case these shall be decided by a draw conducted in accordance with Regulation J6.h so that preference is given to previous performance.

J2.d.(3) Novice: A Stake which is confined to dogs which have not gained a place which would qualify them for preference in the draw for Open Stakes.

 

PREFERENCE IN THE DRAW FOR OPEN STAKES

J7.i (1) Retrievers: A First, Second, Third or Fourth in a 24 Dog Open Stake, First, Second or Third in a 12 Dog Open Stake. First in All-Aged or Novice Stakes.

J7.i (2) Spaniels: A First. Second or Third in an Open Stake or a First in an All-Aged or Novice Stake. To qualify for preference in the draw in an Open Spaniel Stake, the dog must have gained the appropriate places in a Stake open to its breed.

J7.i (4)      (i)             Members' dogs which have gained places as shown above

                (ii)             Non-members' dogs which have gained places as shown above

                (iii)            Members' dogs which have gained other places

                (iv)            Non-members' dogs which have gained other places

                (v)            Other dogs

The foregoing places must have been gained in a Stake qualifying for entry in the Kennel Club Stud Book. If a competitor enters more than one similarly qualified dog his first 'preferred dog' must be balloted for in the normal manner. 'Second' and subsequent dogs must then be placed in separate ballots before entries are drawn from other categories.

 

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY…

 

1.         Should circumstances so dictate, the Society, in consultation with the Judges, may alter arrangements as necessary.   Such changes and the circumstances surrounding them must be reported to the Kennel Club at the earliest opportunity.

 

2.       No modification will be made to this Schedule except by permission of the Kennel Club, followed by advertisement in appropriate journals if time permits before the closing of entries.

 

3.        The Society may reserve to itself the right to refuse any entry, except that this shall not apply in terms of the preference in the draw regulations (ref. J.5.g).

 

4.         The Society reserves the right to retain half the entry fee for any withdrawal after being offered a run, either by publication of the draw or by acceptance of elevation from the reserve list. Furthermore, the Society reserves the right to refuse a refund of entry fee for any withdrawal within 7 days of the start of the Stake.

Withdrawals for medical or veterinary reasons, or because a dog has qualified, will be refunded in full.

 

5.         To qualify for preference in the draw owners, and in the case of joint ownership both owners, must be fully paid up members as at 30th June in that trialling season. 

 

6.         Preference in the draw for Novice stakes will not be given to members who have already been offered a run by the Club in a similar Novice stake in the current season.

 

7.        A separate entry form is required for each stake entered.  Incorrectly completed entry forms or illegible entry forms, will exclude an entry from the draw.   Please send a  separate SAE for the result of each draw and please use self seal envelopes.

If competitors submit an out of date entry form they are required to sign a copy of the current form before the trial commences.

 

8.          No substitution will be allowed.

 

9.         All persons attending the Stake are under the jurisdiction of the Judges and Officers of the Club and must conduct themselves accordingly.

 

10.       The Club accepts no responsibility for injury, loss or damage to person or property however occasioned.

 

11.        All dogs must be kept on a lead except when in line or used for picking-up under the direction of the Judges or the Steward of the beat.  No bitches on heat to be brought to the Trial ground.

 

NOTE:

 

1.         Out of respect for our hosts' generosity, competitors are asked to ensure that their dogs are competent in picking all game and are capable of maintaining the standards required.

2.          Competitors must make their own arrangements for lunch, which may be taken in the field.

 

PLEASE NOTE that due to unforeseen ill health Dave Kent has resigned as FT Secretary for Spaniels effective immediately, therefore ALL entries must be sent to Anthony Eldred.
