Redgates Measuring Session Plus

Tim and Clare Griffiths at Redgates have arranged an Official Kennel Club Measuring Session to be held at their training venue on Sunday, 17 February. All the morning spaces have been taken by our own Redgates Club Members, but they are offering the remaining afternoon spaces to members of other local clubs.

All places must be pre-booked. Anyone who just turns up on the day and has not contacted us before hand and received confirmation that there is a place for them will be turned away. Anyone who wishes to book a place should contact Tim and Claire asap - via email only. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first booked first served basis. They will send an email back to everyone either confirming they have a place and giving their allocated appointment time, or telling them that all available places have already been taken.

Unfortunately to cover the cost of the hire of our venue, in addition to the fee paid to the measurers, all attendees will be asked to pay a small fee of £2 per dog. However, for this handlers can practice on the club our equipment either immediately before or anytime after being measured, and if they wish receive some tuition.

The Redgates training venue is located in the village of Sewards End, which is just outside Saffron Walden on the Essex / Suffolk / Cambridgeshire borders, close to Junctions 8 and 9 of the M11. Maps and directions to our training venue can be found on the Redgates website.
