I note that at 12.00 on Friday they are having a showing and ringcraft event in the above arena, is this a tutorial. Would it be worth watching for a newbie.

They do this every year, it isn't really a tutorial, more explaining what each activity involves. One year they were asking people in DD to help out with their dogs and my old girl Ripley was used to illustrate showing.

Thanks. Yet another question, do they allow pass outs? Doing a lot of shopping and would be great if we could take stuff out to the car and then come back in.

Most definitely they do.  I have to rely on it as I overload with purchases and need to go back to the car park several times.
