Hi all :)
Does anyone know of any Ringcraft classes in the Cardiff area?
I have had no luck from the Kennel Club, or on any searches on the net.
I have also asked around, but no-one seems to know of any :(

Can you help?
Many thanks :)

A puppy of mine is going to the Chapstow area, and I have also had no luck when asking the Kennel Club for classes near them.

I know that sometimes there are classes run by people who haven't set up a KC reg club because of all the red tape.

I don't mind if I have to travel a bit, they just seem so scarce in this area!
Chepstow isnt too far though

There are two good ones in the valleys. At Abercynon there is one every Monday night organised by Treharris DCS and I believe there is one every Wednesday at Pontypridd organised by the Pontypridd Club, both not to far from Cardiff being straight up the A470. If these are any good then reply to this post and I'll try and get you phone numbers.

Hi Karen,

That would be great, especially the Ponty one!
Thanks so much :)

Pontypridd secretary is Mrs L Salmon tel 01443 493278
Treharris is Mrs M Broadstock tel 01443 742009
Never been to the Ponty one but Treharris had about 25 dogs last time I went and the hall they use is easy to find by the railway station with plenty of room. Ponty is based in the scouts hall in Hopkinstown, which is just outside Ponty on the Rhondda valley road.

Welshy geography not being my strong point, will either of these be any good to my Chepstow puppy folk??

we and Jessie both went to Pontypridd ringcraft and it's about the best locally, it can be quite busy

it's not actually in Ponty it's at Trehafod on the main road out of ponty about 20 mins from Cardiff

Ponty is about 30-40 miles drive from Chepstow, there should be closer places try looking at Newport or Monmouth

Hi Neil, how are you and Atka? :)
Thats great thanks!
Do you know how much it costs and rough directions? If you do, that would be great!
Thanks for your help

Char

The classes at Pontypridd are Wednesday 7:30 ends about 9:30, St David's Church Hall Hopkinstown Pontypridd Charge £1
The directions are follow signs to Rhondda Heritage Centre go through Hopkinstown and at 40 MPH sign on right hand side is Church, parking is on road only if you get to Trehafod you've gone too far

Atka's fine, blowing her coat and in season at present
