To be considered for entry dog hounds must have attended 5 meets, bitches 4 and working certificate holders 4 during the 2009/10 season. Entry to the Trials is by invitation of the Field master should too many hounds meet the attendance qualification. Just a reminder about cancellation protocol??? If the weather is particularly bad - snow, very strong wind or flooding, and you have concerns about whether the meet is on or off, please phone the Field master, Dave McSheehy, the night before. 01883 723389. Usually, should a decision be taken to cancel, we arrange a phone tree and call those known to be attending, but the responsibility for checking lies with each individual member. You must ensure that I have a contact phone number where you could be reached on a Saturday should it be necessary. And last but not least, the lost beagle procedure!........ Protocol is that everybody looks should hounds go missing. If the Field master does need to organise search parties, please ensure that you go with somebody who has a mobile phone. Usually my phone is used as a base station - call in every 10-15 minutes to see if the beagle has been found. Since I will not be there next week, please key Dave McSheehy's mobile number 07901 876578 into your phone before you set off!Minimum Qualification for the Trials
