Rally Trial Follow Up - Thank You From Trial Chair Roberta

 Hi,

Whew!!  Another successful trial event in the books!!!  Everyone should be patting themselves on the back for a job well done!! The trial this weekend went off with minimal hitches!! Just want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for all your time, energy and effort that made our spring rally trial a wonderful success.  We couldn't have had better weather!!!  And given the continued COVID protocol that necessitated numerous logistical changes, we did exceptionally well!!

To all the committee heads - I  want to extend a personal thank you to each of you for your EXCELLENT execution of the HUGE job each of you had with this trial weekend!!!   When there are very experienced and willing people heading up LARGE committees, you make it look so easy! 

Trial Secretary (Kellie):  What can I say ..... What a terrific job you do as TRIAL SECRETARY!  You take on this job and handle each challenge (program, handlers, entries, covid waiver protocol, hiccups, etc) with confidence and calmness!!!

Chief Ring Steward (Judy):  I especially want to thank you for stepping up to take on a very new roll!  The steward coverage can be daunting!  The classes ran so efficiently.  Ted (judge) commented that he appreciated your assistance to make his ring run smoothly.

Trophy (Wendy):  The trophy coverage and display was well received by the exhibitors!   This is an enormous job that takes organization and patience.  The donated trophies were lovely!!!  There were many favorable comments from the exhibitors that were lucky enough to receive a prize!!

Raffles:  The Saturday basket raffle was won by club member, Shannon Hendrickson.  We made $103.

Sunday's 50/50 raffle winner was Anne Cunningham.  We took in $70.  She won $35 but only kept $15 and donated $20 back to the club.  Club profit:  $35 + $20 = $55.

Worker Baskets:  Please see the photos.  Kellie Page, Anne Talbot, Tracy West.  Congratulations!!

Thank you to all the club members that supported the various committees by helping with set up and take down  (HUGE thank you to Ken for doing all the heavy lifting!), stewarding, manning the check in and scoring tables, running the ringside table and timer jobs, and supporting the trial prizes (which are VERY WELL RECEIVED by the exhibitors!)!  Wanda put together beautiful baskets (both large and small) that everyone was eager to win.  We can't thank her enough for her incredible aesthetic eye!!

Our Judge, Ted McCall, commented with high praise about our club and in particular the spectacular and super efficient stewards each day. He said that he especially loves judging our trials because of how well it is run and the kindness of the exhibitors!!  Yes, we are a wonderful group of people and I am proud to be a member of the Cape Fear Dog Training Club!!

Congratulations to everyone that showed during our trials!!

THANK YOU!!

Roberta
