Anyone going to Tipton, Wolverhampton exemption show on 9th June. Also The Royal International Exemption show on June 10th at Stourport-on-Severn, with Junior handling, rare breeds, obedience and the usual. Ask if you want more details.

I'd be interested to know more about the Tipton Show (as a spectator), also if you live in the West Midlands, do you know of any local ringcraft classes?

There is a club in Lichfield and one near Stone, Staffs. Those are the only ones I know of as I don't show my dogs as they don't have pedigree, I'll come back to you with more info. on Tipton.

depends where in west midds you want - we train with leamington dtc (in the lillington area of leamington) with the majority of people coming from cov and kenilworth

I'm the Secretary of Lichfield Canine Soicety and we run Ringcraft Classes on a Monday night starting at 8pm at the Lichfield Rugby Club, which is on the A51 Lichfield to Tamworth Road, and the venue is behind the Horse and Jockey Pub. We are in the hall and the B'ham GSD Club use the car park. Hope this is of help to you.

I'm in the Central region of the West Midlands, I live about 5 miles out of Birmingham (Sandwell area), I have been told there is a class in the Halesowen area but I haven't been able to locate it yet.

try contacting the kennel club as they do a dog club directory of all the registered clubs in the country - i only have the one of clubs that have said they accept juniors and it doesnt have any ringcraft classes listed in the west midds only agility and obedience clubs but its worth a try

Thanks Het, I did try the kennel club with a view to taking my other dog but the information they sent me wasn't suitable because when I contacted the clubs both only dealt with staffies. I've sent an e-mail to the kennel club again and will let you know if I have any luck this time. I think I've discussed this with you previously because I wasn't sure if I could combine ringcraft and obedience classes - I didn't want to confuse my dog. I really enjoy obedience classes with Scarlet and would like to do both with Ava.

Stourbridge and District Canine Society ringcraft classes on a Thursday evening at a venue in Colley Gate, Cradley Heath.  Contact Miss J Shipley 01675 481373.

Not sure if they still hold ringcraft classes but you could give them a call.

Hi All.......this is a link to a fairly new [ i think] companion show site, its updated as soon as they get details so any of you with shows to promote get your details to Donna [site owner] asap before the event.i picked up loads from there last year that i would never have known about!
