Hi I thought it would be good to pin this so that you all can check it to see if a training day gets moved.

Like the next training day at Elmore will be on the 15th, hope to see you all there

With Holidays coming up there are bound to be changes to keep checking.

Thanks for the update. See you all there!!!!

Glad I checked! Thanks for letting us know.

See this is why it is so important to check this post regularly, and I hope you all do.

The 15th has been brought back to this weekend, so sorry, I stuffed up.

I was meant to go to the phantom of the opera this weekend but I have just rung to confirm it and it is for next weekend.

So, So, sorry for the mix up, what can I say, I'm only human.

So training is on this Saturday, bring your fly spray, chair, water for yourself and a hat, it promises to be warm.

Please remember time is five minutes on the sheep then out, I know everyone has got it down to a fine art but there can always be new ones.

Again my apoligies for the stuff up.

Those on my regular list of attendances will recieve an email to let them know.

Hope to see you all there.

Is there training on this Saturday?
(22/12/07)

Yes absolutely, see you all there for the final training day before Christmas

We will be there, Pheonix will be taking it easy though!!! Bloody pale footed wide toed dogs. Not only does he has a reaction to the grass at herding he has now tried to cut the pad off his back foot!!!! Silly Baby!!! have to work Kelli extra hard!!!

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if herding is still on tomorrow with all this rain we have been having and the forcast for more tomorrow??? We will be coming up but if it is to be cancelled can someone please give me a call on 0417 052 566

Cheers

Rachelle & Co.

Sorry missed your reply, but at least you were good enought to call this morning to check and thus saved yourself a long trip for nothing.

Yes it is raining and I now have water frontage around two inches of it in twenty minutes and the force of the wind nearly gave us an up close and personal view of the storm as it came close to pushing in both of our large front windows, seals were broken and we had more than our own share of water inside as well as outside, good thing I have lots of towels.

Koolies are having a ball, I now have 10 in the house not including the min pin, I'm thinking new furniture for Christmas.

Fallax's Border Collie now looks like she has carribean dred locks another reason why I own Koolies, had to go out to his male Chance at 4:30 am this morning to bring him into the back yard he wasn't happy about the storm, I don't blame him, I wasn't happy about being out in it either.

Wind is still strong and my gum trees have all lost their heads but everyone is lock down and safe in thier beds so let it rain.

Well the lengths you go to when I threaten to turn up to training, my goodness flooding rain - the pull you have TJ!!

Hey,
Just letting you know that if there is herding this weekend (05/01/08) we wont be coming up for it. 37 is just way to hot when we have to travel 2&1/2 hours to get home again!!! Hope to see you all next time though!!!!

Just for future training days.

There will be no training if the temprture is over 30 or it is raining.

Here is where I'll be this Saturday.

I will try to inform everyone as soon as possible as close to a training day as possible if there will be a cancellation.

Have a cool weekend. Keep up the liquids

ohh I will.

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind for next time!!!

Chase sheep is bad enough but there is no way I would do it in the heat!!! I am like an ice cream when it comes to the heat, I might just melt!!! LOL

I wonder if the weather gods will be kind to us for this Saturday????

Start preying everyone!!!

Hey admin is it possible to get a quick reply in here.
By the time my dial up brings up the page I have forgotten what I was going to write.

Sorry no training this weekend, got to drive my mum to a wedding anniversary.
yeh I know get your priorities right but it's me mum and I'm stuck, then on Sunday it's off to the airport to send off a koolie rescue to her new family in Sydnay and recieve my new little Koolie girl from Qld, definitely not a rescue.

Meet Diamond an't she cute, she is fifth generation both side Tjukurpa.

But getting back to training, there will no training the following weekend as that is Australia day.

So if the weather is kind training will be on 2nd of Feb.

There is also some consideration for a weekend workshop for April 5th and 6th so let me know if you want this, because it will only happen if we get the numbers.
Because the sheep numbers have fallen, we will only be having ten spots.
So get it quick and send your emails.

That is kool, mum's comes first and she did pop you into this world so we better be nice to our mums.

Mum and Dad will be coming on the 2nd Feb but I will not be able to make it as it is our first weekend at out new obedience club, so we have to go to our intro session.

Please put us down for 3 places please and where should we book in for accomadtion. Please book us in for 6 dogs.

You are booked in with our three that only leave four spaces available, so best be quick if you want to secure your spot.

You can book at the Railway Hotal in Elmore, they serve tea and you can get breakfast across the street at the cafe.

Catch you maybe at the gathering.

Thanks for the info, we will be there

Hi all.

I know you have all been asking me for the form for the April workshop.
So good to see so much interest.

It is all filled.

I have recorded all your bookings so your places are safe.

So now just download the form from the club website, fill it in, and get your fees off to the bank.

See you all at Training next weekend.

I won't have the Agility back by then but I hope to have it at the Feb meeting, so you all best turn up.


Lucky me I get to edit the moderator...SL

Will there be herding this Saturday now that you have an extra full house??? Mum just wants to know as she was planning on coming but understands if you want to take the weekend off!!!

Thanks

Sheep training is on unless the weather man says different on Friday.

Puppies are past the three day concern period, not being able to regulate their temprature and so will be fine for a few hours on Saturday.

I did say the Agility won't be there, didn't I?
Couldn't get it till Sunday, when Bethany will stay home and look after the babies.

Look forward to seeing you all after the long break.

Thanks TJ,

Mum & Dad will be up this Saturday but I will not be as we are starting at our new obedience school this weekend. I think Phoenix is looking forward to it!!! I think he is excited about not only going to school but meeting all the new puppies!!! YAY

But anyway that is cool about the agility, you mentioned it before.

We all WONT be at training on the 16th though. OH and I are going to a 4wd show with my brother so therefore Mum and Dad are doggie sitting for us both. Lucky people they will be with 8 working dogs in their house at once and they live on a house block LOL

But hopefully by the 1/03/08 everything will be back to normal and we will see you all then!!! Seems like years away really!!!!

So when is the next training day? I seem to have lost track...

Hey hopenfox long time no hear, thought you might have wanted to book for the April workhop.

Next training day is Saturday the 1st of March, starting at 8am because of the hot weather and finishing at 11am.

Everyone please call Fridy night for last minute updates on weather and remember that due to the reducement of sheep we can only have ten people.

Okay I think I am going to ask a blonde question. Where abouts on the website would the form for the april weekend be located? Yep it is a blonde question I just had a look and could not locate it. It may be a few weeks before I get the money to you guys, don't have a printer and will be away over the coming week.

Just ran to the computor and sent you one, sorry got distracted.

If people organizing such things don't supply details and appropriate forms to the web editor ( editor@australian-koolies.info ) they can't be put on the website!! (I ain't psychic ya know).

The workshop form is at the bottom of this page
http://www.australian-koolies.info/meetings.html

we will be there with bells on to both the up coming herding training and the workshop(TJ did you get our forms and money??) If we finish at 11am then I can get back for obedience too!!! YAY!!!

You are too Psychic, how come you always know what I'm up to even before I do it. huh!

Yes Rahcellebuck I did recieve your forms, sorry haven't gotten around to sending you the reciept.
Be sure to jog my memory this Sunday.

Boopy has just finalized his booking so everyone has paid, except me and mine better get on it.

Hey Silh any chance of you putting in an appearance for photos and a hi.?

Thanks Rachelle, I had forgotten myself and there goes a good opportunity to get indignant
Practice.
Absolutely, just remind me a little closer. Always looking for opportunities to practice with the camera and increase our hoard of koolie photos for the website, newsletter and calendar.

So training is this Saturday starting at 8am!!!
Who else is going to come along and show us their stuff!!!
At only $20.00 per person it is a real bargin!!!!!
I will be making a runner at 10.30pm though. Baby sitting duties at 1pm!!!!
Let's just hope I remeber to call you friday night TJ!! We all know I have air up there!!! LOL

Yes training is this Saturday, weather man says it's going to be 25 very nice.

Summer is over thank god.

See you all there, 8am, we will have the Agility.

Couple of newbie coming so make them welcome, not that you need telling.

It's going to be a full house this weekend.

Is there room for me? And I think Hugh wants to come.

Newbies are always welcomed!!!
Makes me fell like I am getting somewhere!!! LOL
I will help put up the agility but we will be leaving so I will make sure some else is there to help pack up!!!

Hey hopenfox did I see you at the meeting?

Where did you go?

I looked for you at lunch but you had gone.

Did you get a chance to use the Agility.

There are a few new members who wish to pop over and give the training a go.

But they might not turn up.

So drop in, give us a call on Friday and I'll know more.

Yep, I was at the meeting. I got there at around 11 and left at a little past 1pm - I was expecting visitors after lunch. (I skulked away - goodbyes are awkward for me).

I did get to meet some new people and Koolies and I had a few goes on the agility equipment before I left - I was disappointed to miss the demo though.

Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow at Elmore...
