DISCIPLINE All persons attending any trial do so at their own risk, and must consider themselves under the control of the judges and officials at all times. Everybody should remain close to the official carrying the red flag to minimise the risk of accidents, and noise should be kept to a minimum. All Dogs must be kept on a lead except when in line. Competitors may exercise their dogs prior to the trial by permission of the Chief Steward, but only when and where indicated by him/her. Anyone disobeying these instructions will be asked to vacate the ground and fees forfeited. Any bitch found to be in season must be removed from the ground immediately.

START TIMES Unless otherwise notified start times are 8.45am for 9am. Competitors should report to the chief steward not later than 15 minutes prior to the published starting times. For the purpose of reserve substitution, the trial will be deemed to have commenced when the Chief Steward calls competitors and judges together.

FIELD TRIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE DAY Will be appointed from the FT Committee and/or those present familiar with Field Trial Rules and procedures.

CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE Should circumstances so dictate the WCGB, in consultation with the judges, may alter arrangements as necessary.
