Bonus sleepover, Sunday pancake breakfast, and fun match
Didn't get enough practice BEFORE the party?
Kathleen invites you to RV/camp overnight Saturday night in her field's parking area, to participate in a pancake breakfast Sunday morning, and afterwards an all-day fun match (open to members and nonmembers alike). Info about fun match is at: heartdogagility.com.
If you're staying overnight:
- Bring whatever you need for staying overnight.
- If you want to participate in the pancake breakfast, bring a breakfast dish to share.
- Fun match info: you can enter and pay with PayPals from heartdogagility.com. Or, print the entry from the website and pay by check through snail mail. Or, if the limit hasn't been reached, you can enter the day of.
There will be a pancake breakfast at 8:00 am for all Bay Teamers who are staying overnight (or returning) for the Fun Match. It will be somewhat potluck so please RSVP by January 7th so I can get a sign up list for what you can bring and how much. I will supply the pancake mix, griddles, coffee maker, and refrigeration. We will need plates/utensils/napkins, milk, coffee, hot chocolate, juice and syrup.
Bay Teamers who would like to stay overnight for the Fun Match are welcomed to do so. There are several options:
- If you have an RV please email Kathleen ASAP with the size of your RV to check on availability (first come, first served) and reserve a spot. There will, of course, be no hook ups.
- If you have a regular sized van or car you sleep in, you may stay over and are welcome to use Kathleen's bathroom and shower. Be advised you may have to park on a mild to moderate slope. Please email Kathleen if you would like to do this so she has an idea how many of you there will be.
- If you don't have an RV or some other kind of vehicle you sleep in, you are welcome to camp out in Kathleen's house (sleeping bags on the floor, dogs in a crate or in your car). Again, please email Kathleen if you would like to do this so she has an idea how many of you there will be.
