VERY IMPORTANT

-This venue is the training ground of Flying Dogs Agility Club and Wiltshire And Gloucestershire Agility Mutts. Please respect the site and keep it tidy as we do not wish to lose this venue

-Both hosting clubs are very small. Without EVERYBODY’S help at the matches to set up, pack away and at ringside, these matches will just not happen. Please do just a little at every match to ensure everything runs smoothly.

-You MUST clean up after your dog and must not leave poo bags lying around. Failure to do so will result in IMMEDIATE escort off site.

-No smoking ANYWHERE on site, if you cannot wait, please go to the very top of the drive by the main road ie. off site. If you cannot get that far than perhaps you should consider giving up smoking!!

-ABSOLUTELY no harsh handling will be tolerated ANYWHERE on site

-HAVE FUN!!!

Directions to venue

From A419 near Cirencester, take exit marked Stow. Follow road through traffic lights and on for approx 3 miles. Through the town of Barnsley and approx 1 mile after the de-restriction signs you will see a gateway on your right (back of triangular warning sign on the closest side and white stones on verge on far side). This is Poultmoor farm. Follow the drive over the humps and into the gate directly ahead of you. Please park sensibly. Do not drive through the next gateway, as we need room to move equipment and for the refreshment van to park!

Arrival not before 6.00pm please but as early as possible to help set-up, course walking for the agility class at 6.45pm and judging at 7.00pm. The jumping class will commence once the agility is finished.
