Topic Dog Boards / General / Dog Show Obedience Classes

I am Holding a Companion Dog show which will include obedience classes at the end of May.  Could you please tell me the minimum sizes the rings would need to be for the obedience classes.  We have Starters, Intermediate and Advanced B Classes.
Also I need to know the minimum size the ring would need to be for the Agility display in the morning which will double up as the ring for the Novelty classes in the afternoon.
Thanks

In my Kennel Club year book the sizes stated are "83 square metres (900 square feet) of clear floor space and shall not be less than 6 metres (20 feet) in width except that for champ class c the ring must contain not less than 148 square metres (1600 square feet) ring sizes should where possible be considerably larger."
For agility the floor area should be 35 square yards. Indoor venues maybe smaller but appropriate to the test.
When we held shows we used as much space as was available. Divided into the amount of rings needed.
Hope this helps. Where is your show being held?
