Scorching Weather Forecast / Cancellation
We’ve been monitoring the weather predictions for the week leading up to and including the 3rd Championships and it’s forecast to get hotter each day with 33-35 degrees set for Saturday and Sunday.
It’s not just the exposure to the heat during the races. Trying to keep our charges cool throughout the day is we believe the biggest problem. We’d also be setting up and taking down in extreme heat.
Therefore, we feel that the only responsible thing to do for the welfare of the dogs and humans alike is to cancel this Sunday’s Championships.
We are really disappointed to have to make this decision but hope the racers understand and agree with our sentiments.
We haven’t yet come to a decision regarding an alternative date but will make an announcement if rescheduling the 3rd Championships becomes an option.
In the interim, please can those who have entered the 3rd Championships get in touch with Mark Etheridge and let him know if you want a refund or transfer of your entry to the 4th Championships on 2nd October (straight).
Be safe and take care.
