Competition Entry Details and Fee
- The organisers advocate a policy of responsible pet ownership and the health and safety of all dogs taking part in the competition is their number one concern. Dogs should not be forced to take part if they are not happy doing so.
- Everyone who takes part in the Fun Dog Show must be registered. This can be done online in advance or on the day, if space is available.
- The charge for taking part in the Fun Dog Show is £1.50 per class, per dog, when booking in advance. The charge is £2 if booking on the day at the event if spaces are available.
- Children under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied in the ring by an adult in all classes other than in classes identified by the organisers being for junior handlers. In the junior handler classes all children (i) aged 6 yrs and under MUST be accompanied by an adult in the ring, and (ii) aged 7 – 16 yrs must have an adult supervising them from ringside.
- Participants may enter more than one class. It is the responsibility of the entrant to ensure that the class times entered do not clash. Timings for the classes across the two rings are staggered to avoid clashes, but due to the nature of dog shows it is not possible to set exact start times for each class.
- If you cannot attend, please inform the organisers as soon as possible by emailing dogshowbinsted@gmail.com
- Unfortunately, given the limited number of spaces, all entry fees are non-refundable. All proceeds will be distributed to charities and good causes by the Binsted Fete Committee following the Annual General Meeting of the Fete Committee following the event.
