We have another new staff member, I think she's still in shock however we've asked Emma1979 if she'd like to step up to be a Mod and she's said yes - even though she thought i was going to tell her off for misbehaving in the chat room lol Emma has been here for over a year - nearly 2 in fact! wow time flies - she's always active and chatty and welcoming and brings a different aspect to the current staffing team - plus - we need more women on the team lol Please welcome her to her new role

Hi All Just wanted to let you all know admin and super-mods have been having a chat and have we've asked a certain member if they'd like to step up to be a Moderator I'm pleased to say this person has said YES so I'd like you all to welcome Lee aka Husky-Gunner to the Dark Side (hope you've brought cookies!!) Lee hasn't been a member here for long but for those that have met him at meets / camp, you'll know how helpful he is and he will go out of his way to lend a hand or paw where ever he can. He is so very passionate about this place and is going to be throwing his enthusiasm into organising things for camp and also arranging meets and being on hand to hel…

Hi Guys, Just a quick message about the camps and raising funds. Once again we have raised a good chunk towards bringing a member to this years camp, and we have successfully managed to do so for the past 2 years. I can honestly say that its not something we ever thought we would be able to do and it shows what a great community we have here on the forum. We will be reopening the competition again soon for people to enter. Same kinda rules with the winner being announced on Christmas Day as always. The only slight difference this year is that there will be a cap on how much will be put towards a ticket. Reasons for this are simple really. We are gaining more and m…

Hi Guys, A while since I have put any of these up for you's however I thought I would add some more themes onto the site for our site sponsors. Distance - This is a simple and clean looking theme. One thing this does do however is keeps the menu bar at the top of the page which is quite nice when your scrolling about. Graphite - This theme has some functionality behind it. The menu items are on the sidebar rather than at the top of the page and the menu will move with you as you scroll. The sidebar can be hidden completely. The neat thing on this skin however is the fact you can customise the colouring and font to your liking Mineskin - Th…

This is for those who stayed at home or couldn't make it to Huskycamp in one way or another: Dave is currently at camp and tomorrow he'll be walking around filming as much as he can. The best thing is that all of this will be broadcasted live! Why go camping when you can let others do all the hard work while you can just watch it all straight from your own home sitting in your comfortable and warm chair?? Currently we're aiming to start around 3pm at the earliest (UK time), though it may be a bit later due to may having to work. We'll just switch the camera on, I'll put it here on the forum and we'll just see how it goes and for how long it keep working! Don't worry …

As some of you know Dave (hubby) Marc, Dunc and Sue (Dunc's wife) all compleated the 3 peaks challenge. Well done to you all, so proud of you. They raised money for The Christie - cancer research. Since they did so well and enjoyed it so much, even though at the moment they are broken and in pain, they feel like their legs are never going to work again, i'm thinking of entering them all into this for next year as their all up for a challenge. http://www.ratracedirtyweekend.com/

Just letting you guys know so that you dont think we have dissapeared. We're alive and kickin, its just a hardware move.

Hi all, It has become more than apparent that there are rumours floating around about husky owners/me/both and it is very clear where the source is. Do not even think of asking me who the source is as I will not be pointing it out at the moment. I ask only one question. Does someone have the knowledge to tell me what this rumour is? Does someone have the decency to tell me what it is? Or am I to continue being the only one who does not seem to know about it? The people it concerns I will tell you that you are winning. You are successfully ensuring the the forum is now swallowing money like water and is being paid for by myself at present. At some point I will …

Staffing Changes 1 2
by Marc- 27 replies
- 2.3k views
Hi Guys, Quick announcement for you guys regarding some staffing changes on the forum. This is more of a change of roles than promotion/removal from staff so a bit of a different announce this time. Valkries (Linda) Linda is quite busy at the moment with other things than forum posting, and a lot of this is around fund raising for camp and bringing a member over etc. Therefore Linda has decided to step down as a super moderator into a new position on the forum of Fund Raising Co-Ordinator. She will be doing a lot more work behind the scenes than on the forum posting from now on and will not be moderating the forums activities. Linda as you know has been mod…

Hi Guys, As some of you will have already seen, there is a DVD available of the 2012 husky camp which was kindly video'd, and put together over many months by Jos (BlueWolf). All chapters that have been released on the forum, plus some bonus stuff only available on the DVD. The DVD costs £4.00 plus shipping costs which are currently £2.60 in the UK or £4.50 to anywhere else on the globe. It is available from either the link in the sidebar (main page) or by visiting http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/store/product/6-2012-camp-dvd/ All proceeds from this go towards bringing another member over to 2014 Husky Camp.

Hi Guys, Just a quick message to let you know that that "Fix me" section has now been removed from the forum. Any topics of this nature should now be posted in the forum help & FAQ section of the forum. This is purely and simply because the section was only ever meant to be a temp section when we moved over from our old forum software, and since there are very little posts in that section now it doesn't warrent a section of its own.

Hi Guys, As ever at UK camp there does tend to be some pics which some may not want to view, or want to be viewable on the forum to them so that younger members are not seeing them. However it would be a shame not to have an area for people to have a laugh at the silly antics that take place at camp if people would like to view them and therefore I have created a section the same as I have last year. For those who are not aware what I did last year, there is now a section named "Husky Camp Extreme 2013". This section you will be able to see on the main forum, however you will be unable to post, nor view anything within that section without requesting the access. I…

Marc and myself have been inundated yesterday and today via text, PM, calls, emails etc about a member who's dog could possibly have been in contact with the KC virus. Bear in mind that we both have full time jobs this has been a nightmare! I will not name names etc however i will state the following facts: The dog in question was thought to have been in contact with the virus at a training session, however no test has been carried out to confirm whether the virus is present or not and after 2 weeks has shown no signs of contracting KC another dog from the same "pack" was vaccinated for KC on 28th April and was therefore given a small dose of the live vaccine …
