Hi Ladies and Gents, lovely to meet you all.  My name is Emma and I have a Miniature Poodle whom I'd like to take to Ringcraft.  I am based in the North West, and numerous people have recommended 'Bob's' Ringcraft classes in Skelmersdale.  I can't find any information about the class online though, and I wondered if anyone knew the contact details for this club?

I'd be really grateful if you could please point me in the right direction, or recommend another club in the local area.

Thanks so much for your help,

Em.

RC is on a Wednesday night at 8pm you will have to ask him for directions as I dont have the exact address. I have PM'd you his details as I dont like giving number out on the main forum.

We also go to RC in Birkenhead which is on a Tuesday night beginning again after the summer break on 6th Sept, if you want those details let me know.

That's absolutely brilliant, thank you very much indeed.

welcome see you there :) I will be with a beardie !

Bob's ringcraft address:
33 Liverpool Road
Skelmersdale
Lancashire
WN8 8BJ
And I will be there with my new Golden Retriever puppy.

I tried to find this class a couple of years back going by directions given by another dachsie breeder and got totally lost, will make a note of the post code to put in my SatNav for future use.

Thank you so much, I shall really look forward to seeing you there.

where is the Birkenhead one-
is it Woodchurch?

The problem is that Liverpool Road curves down to a roundabout at the end of the Road (depending on which way you approach!) However, the hall is in a cul-de-sac which is the original part of the road before they cut it off and curved the road. I have googled it and the postcode does take you into the cul-de-sac.

Hi every one,I was looking on the net for a ringcraft class to take my golden retriever and I found this forum,could any of you tell me Bob's phone number as he seems to be the most popular one around the merseyside area thanks
Regards
Pack

Bob's number is 01942 236429 but I think he is on holiday this week. The training is still on though, Wednesday's 8pm.

Thanks Alison,my golden retriever is 8 an a half months,I hope I haven't left it to late

Never too late. I sold a puppy nearly 2 years ago and the owners have been advised to show him. I trimmed him up and they have been going to ringcraft and are at their first show on Sunday.

That makes me feel better
Thanks

I went to the class today but it was closed,
Just to make sure I was at the right place,is it a cul de sac of Liverpool rd and is a big building that looks like an old church?

Yes, it was closed last night for one week.

Thanks Alison I will try next week

I won't be there as I am back in France next week but will be there the week after.

It will be nice to meet you,I have seen your web site and your goldens are beautiful,this is my second GR my first one,Max,past away last November at 14 and i was devastated,so I got another,you may know the lines his dad is tesoro the ria vela and his mum is pussycat doll at frank y.
Well hope you have a great Holliday

Bob's ringcraft is really good, but have you been incontact with Jo, she could give you some pointers to help you. I have just done the same with this 2 year old dog that has started being shown. He got BOB at his first show.

Yes Jo is been fantastic, I was in her home 2 weeks ago and Jo and Chris Ashton give him a trim and took some pictures but it was impossible to keep him still,she said that he is coming on well but we have to join a ringcraft class if I ever want to show him

will be at ringcraft tomorrow ..I will be with the beardie pup... Bob should be back !!

Just spoke to Bob on the phone so I will be there with my golden,feel a bit nervous because this will be my first go at rincraft

Bob is very approachable and will welcome you ... come and say hello.

Roni

Definitely will go tomorrow it should be good thanks.
I see you tomorrow.
Paco

Hi Roni you were right Bob is a really nice man and every one were very friendly,sorry I didn't say hi but I was not sure if it was you,I know you were the only one with a beardie there but Bob did kept calling you veronica so that confused me a bit,I was the one with the pale golden.
By the way your dog is beautiful.

Hi Paco,
Bob is so funny ..he calls me Veronica sometimes Vanessa ..ha ha I was with my hubby Laurie and we were sat by the stage. It was really busy last night havent seen it like that for a while ... I prefer it when it is a little more quiet as you get more time with Bob.It was too busy to chat to anyone yesterday ... no worries.
My boy was really naughty he would not stand although we had been to the RC in the Wirral on Tuesday so he was a bit bored. Your Golden is lovely too.You did well , glad you enjoyed it.

Roni

Think I have just realised who you are, do you have Dennis?

No but I bred Dennis! Your thinking of Sandra shes blond I am a brunette ...LOL Do you go to Bob's??

We did, but don't now. Dennis used to make me laugh as you heard him before you saw him. He was lovely but tired me out just watching him.

yep thats Dennis!! told Sandy he was a handful in the litter ..he has calmed down a lot now ..typical beardie!

Hiya, just read your post and it said its never too late for ringcraft. Is it too late for my 18mth Rough Collie to join in?

of course not ..give it a go.

Hi all! Ive just joined the Forum because i noticed the topic :).
Tonight will be my second time at Bobs ringcraft and im going it alone this time :(. I was at Wigan and District ring craft on Monday.
You might know me, i have a buff American Cocker pup.
Just wondering who is going tonight?

Abbie.

I'll be there with my naughty beardie pup...my he is hard work!! ..LOL

Hi Abbey it was lovely to meet you yesterday.. your pup is beautiful I am sure you will do well with her... wont be at RC next week but am sure will see you at some point.

Roni

Great to meet you too! LOVE LOGAN! See you again very soon :) x

Hello all. Sorry to bump this again but with Bobs do you just turn up? And is it expensive? I dont think the ringcraft Im going to is for us so really want to try Bobs :D

Yes, just turn up at 8pm. He charges £3.00 a dog and you get a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit in with the fee.

Thanks, Ill try and make it tomorrow :)

What is the best age to start going to these classes?
