Help for Those Attending A Show for the First Time ...
If you are venturing into the great world of Competitive Obedience it can be a bit daunting to know what to do at a Show (even after reading the information on this site).
Some shows may offer a 'buddy scheme' where they can match you up with a more experienced competitor who can show you the basics of how to find your rings, how to sign in, where to go for your stay exercise, etc.
If you would like someone to help you .. try calling the Show Secretary a few weeks before the show (info on the Show Schedule) (please do not call them in the few days before as they are very busy then) and ask if they know anyone who might help them. Or ask at the Secretary Tent for help upon arrival at the Show.
