When someone and can hide behind a nom-de-plume and lie. Bev The members called a special general meeting in March last year to address the issues surrounding trials. They left that meeting disappointed, with no remedy offered by the club. If there have been further incident then that reflects poorly. Continuing to comment here on the subject of incidents is just infuriating anyone who has been aggrieved since. I understand you support the club however it is clear from comments posted across the net that you are one of only two. You were on the previous board, what did you do to address the trial issue?

Only a few months ago he pulled up the lure to fast and a dog flipped over the rail and injured it's back and shoulders. He should not be driving the lure period. The club are well aware of the problem and still have done nothing and being anonymous on here doesn't change these facts Once again youre like all the people that come on here, pick on anyone that has not the same opinion, with out putting your name to it.

What measures did your board take to remedy the complaint and ensure no future incidents occurred? It is a very simple question.

Emotive 306 Report post Posted February 19, 2019 1 hour ago, POPA GAS said: Ask the club if you can read the minutes. You call people liars for posting anonymously and badger them for details when their view doesn't match yours. It works both ways. Yet you won't answer a direct question yourself? Whether you like someone or not is irrelevant. Whether you believe a driver is good or not is irrelevant. You get caught up in the subjective. What you should be focussing on is the "cause and effect" and "action, reaction" principles. If an issue is not dealt with fully and immediately when it arises, in my opinion, I believe that may well be the case, then there will always be a corresponding response. The anecdotal posts claiming that other incidents have occurred would simply not exist. GOM, yorky and Rules For Some 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules For Some 163 Report post Posted February 19, 2019 Someone being anonymous on the internet doesn't change the facts they have presented.

Incase of being recorded and videoed and sued ,get a grip people There are very simple solutions, listen carefully, repeat the instruction back. Use the radio when relaying instructions to the driver, allow the trainer time to correct the relayed message if necessary. Don't start up the lure until everyone is on the same page. If staff are not capable of following any part of that process, then they should consider early retirement. Waving your arm at passing seagulls who are not trialing dogs at the track is not appropriate behaviour. This is a welfare issue. How can you not care what happens to the dogs?

Coleys yes still have contact they seem to be loving it over there have bought a house and both have jobs and of course there kids live there to and Garry has become a grandad.

iteruka 68 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Dear Members and Trainers Thank you for your patience with the trial process while we are developing new sets of trial rules. The club is here to improve our trials, and limit the ability for any mistakes to happen. Less mistakes, means a safer trial for your dog. After last week, we have adjusted a couple of the rules. Below is the full set of rules, so all trainers know exactly what is allowed to do and what is not. These conditions will commence for race day on the 22nd February 2019 The new procedures are 1. Trials on race day must be out of the closed boxes and must either be a 305m trial, 520m trial or a 520m box to 520 m box trial. These trials may also be able to be done on a trial day. 2. Hand slips are only permitted on a non race day. Hand slips must finish with the lure pulling up at the "pirates" club rooms and must not exceed one full track length 3. Please let the 520m boxes go first. 4. All trainers to buy trial tickets from the secretary. Each trainer will need to fill out the trial ticket to explain the trial they wish to commence. If the ticket is not filled out, no trial,. The starters will not accept any verbal communications for trial distances. 5. Only the trials on the ticket will be allowed to commence 6. All dogs must be cleared to trial, without being on an injury stand down or have any suspected injuries 7. Trials will finish half an hour before the first race 8. There will only be 25 trials before the first race. All other trials will be held after the races on a Wednesday 9. There is no limit to the number of trials after the races 10. Trials booking for before the races will need to be done during the previous day, and should be lodged before 5pm on that day. Eg .. for trials on a Wednesday, Bookings need to be completed by Tuesday 5pm, and Trials on a Friday need to be booked in by Thursday 5pm. This should be via the secretary on the scratching line. Only reserve dogs are permitted to purchase a trial ticket on the day of the races. 11. All trial tickets will be numbered, and you must go in order. If you are not there when you dog number is up, then you will lose your place in the queue and will be trialled when possible. 12. Reserve dogs and qualification dogs will have preference in line of that box. Reserve dogs to report to the kennel steward who will be given a vest on presentation of their papers 13. During trials, there will be a limit of 2 dogs to one handler at all times Please be courteous to our staff, as we continually review these policies.

Emotive 306 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 1. Trials on race day must be out of the closed boxes and must either be a 305m trial, 520m trial or a 520m box to 520 m box trial. These trials may also be able to be done on a trial day. You can run a limited fitness trial box to box for a middle to distance dog because they are coming out of the boxes, but no limited trials for sprinters? A box to box is a limited trial. 2. Hand slips are only permitted on a non race day. Hand slips must finish with the lure pulling up at the "pirates" club rooms and must not exceed one full track length. So handslipping is only safe on a Sunday??? Fitness trials, and breaking in have been reduced to one day a week? Am I reading that correctly? That is going to have a negative effect for any trainer setting a training program ie a limited trial Wenesday or Friday for a start on Monday. 6. All dogs must be cleared to trial, without being on an injury stand down or have any suspected injuries. Unless all dogs are to be scanned and vet checked prior to trialing, how could that ever be confirmed? 13. During trials, there will be a limit of 2 dogs to one handler at all times. So this has now been changed from what was previously deemed safe, one dog, one handler. Why would that be? iteruka 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 Other clubs manage their trials safely without being so draconian. It appears to me that Whanga are trying to imply it is the members causing the problem and not their own ineptitude.
