Setting Goals - Show Cluster to consider

I've been encouraging students to set goals, long term and short term! With this in mind, I searched the show calendar for winter shows. I personally enjoy local shows and shows where there is a chance to achieve a title in one weekend. Therefore the best weekend I see that is local, and contains multiple trials is the Celtic Cluster in March, held at the York Fairgrounds. Beginning March 18th, this cluster boosts Rally, Obedience, and Conformation. This cluster begins Thursday March 18th and ends Sunday March 21st (conformation only).

There will be three chances to get a rally leg. Thursdays (Lancaster Kennel Club) Rally judges are: RN A, RN B, RADV A and RAXA Mrs Louise Botko. Rally AdvB and XB is Ed Whitney. Fridays' (York Kennel Club) judging panel has not been revealed. Saturdays (Deleware County Kennel Club) Rally judge is Miss Bonnie Lee.

The Lancaster Kennel Club is also offering Non regular classes including Graduate Novice and Versatility! Bonnie Lee is judging those classes on Thursday, along with also judging the above listed Rally classes and Open A and B. Ed Whitney is judging Utility. Novice A and B judge is Robt. Squires.

Judges for Obedience on Friday and Saturday have not yet been announced.

Assuming Obedience and Rally are held in the same building this year as last year, it is a pleasant, reasonably quiet (obedience only) room. There is room for chairs although it does get a little crowded around the Rally and Novice rings. Food is served in this building and parking is close to the building.

You have 5 mos. to train, 5 mos. to acrue sick days or plan vacation days from work, 4 mos. to save money for entries and travel...see you there!!!!!
