Hi all,
I'm a dog show newbie, but want to bring Dani down to Leyland to observe the goings on and meet you all and your lovely utes, thing is I floundering a bit with planning...
Is there an official get there time for Leyland on the the Sunday? We'd love to come down and camp on the Saturday but unfortunately Darren has to work late, so we wont be getting there till Sunday morning. I've been having a google this morning but haven't been able to find anything usful...
Just need info like times? do we need to bring food, or will there be places to buy things? does anyone know the postcode for the show grounds? etc etc etc etc...
HELP!

"The Leyland show will take place on the weekend of the 31st July - 1st August 2010 at Longton Show Ground, Opp Wymott Prison, Ulnes Walton Lane. Leyland, Preston. PR26 8LW.
Camping is available on site.

Saturday day time programme TBA
Saturday evening BBQ. price and details to follow.

Sunday schedule as per the '2010 Show and Social Schedule' post."

usually sign up for classes is around 11am and they say they're going to start at 12 ish but it's usually a tad later than that. food wise they normally have a bbq in the afternoon but if you're like me you'll miss it so take some just incase

Registration is between 10 and 11 Rebekah, we will be camping overnight as will quite a few others, we will all have food with us so don't worry about that, as I said to Joce, I bring enough for a regiment so you will be welcome to have whatever is available. Make sure you bring some garden chairs (fold up type) to sit on as they are usually in short supply.
Look forward to seeing you and Dani on The Day

Hi guys, thanks for the info.
June, will I have to register even if we dont intend to show Dani? xx

Hiya, there is a 3-6 month old puppy parade you could take him in and a couple of novelty classes here is where you will be able to see what classes you can go in. http://theutonagan.forumotion.net/show-dates-results-f5/2010-tida-shows-with-utonagan-classes-t948.htm
As he is under 6 months he can't go in the puppy class itself, but the puppy parade will give him a bit of experience, and they all get a rosette

There are novelty classes as well if you have a look

As it is by the prison I am assuming it is in quite an urban area. If it is a hot day, are there any trees on the show ground to provide the dogs with some shade or should I bring an old garden umbrella?

id take it just incase

I took a couple of garden umbrellas to MK, luckily we were parked in the shade so the dogs didn't really need them, but we were sat under them

Womens Prison? maybe I should come?

Just don't tell Carol LOL


Hope you guys have a great time and our Merlin behaves (no chance). Don't look as though I'll make any shows this year, someones got to doggysit?

Think it's a mans' prison Vince

Whilst on the subject of the Leyland Show, could you tell me please, are there classes for green dogs, only I seem to have acquired one....she went out as a black and silver one to go swimming in the lodges. Just been out to brush them all, and found a green one there instead of my black and silver....all dried in green as well because NO ONE told me

I am sure you could suggest a new category...

Just been on the phone to Jill the dog groomer who lives a couple of streets away, she doesn't think she can fit her in, she is ringing me Friday afternoon when she sees how she is fixed. In the meantime I am to take her swimming in the river to see if I can get any off her and give her a scrub with good old washing up liquid, it is ingrained into her skin
