im looking for any ringcraft classes or clubs in the bishop auckland area. any information would be most helpful. thank you.

I don't think there are any ringcraft classes in Bishop Auckland, the closest is probably Newton Aycliffe, I think it is held on Wednesdays - I live in Weardale and travel to one near Washington on Tuesdays, and Near Houghton le Spring on Wednesdays.

thank you gwen for your reply. you travel quite some distance from weardale to  washington. my i ask what your ringcraft  group is called are they online. regards paul&chawee

It's not too bad, about a 50 minute drive to each of them.  The one on Tuesdays is at MyPetStop - I am a sure they have a website.  It is a lovely. light and airy purpose built arena with a non slip floor and plenty of space to do both up and down and triangles, so great practice for a puppy.  The Wednesday night one is just in a little old hall, quite basic, but useful for puppy training, it is run by Newbottle ringcraft club, and I am pretty sure they don't have a website, you just turn up and join up.  They have "Competition night" every  other month, which can be fun and give the pups a chance to learn a bit about competition atmosphere.

From memory there is also one in Trimdon and one in Burnopfield, both run by the Durham County Canine Association I think, which does have a website with days and times.  There is also one in Nettlesworth on Tuesdays (just outside of Sacriston) and one in Lanchester on Fridays, os plenty of them around Co. Durham, just not in your actual part of it!

thank you gwen for the information very helpful. ive been intouch with the newton aycliffe&district society
today and they do ringcraft classes on Wednesday night at the Nevelle Court Community Centre, in Newton Aycliffe. not to far from me a bishop auckland so ill give them a try. thank you again.

i used to go there before i moved away and it was a very friendly and informative club as i had a dog that used to be frightened of the table and they sorted us both our over many weeks, their patience was excellent with us both.
