Sid_Wolf Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 can you bring dogs if your just going to watch?? and how much is it for supposters to get in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 You won't need to pay to come & watch but if you do bring your own dog then you must keep them off the race trails & away from start & finish lines/ area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid_Wolf Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 cool thanks, i'v been wanting to go to one for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda palmer Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks for putting on the link Rose you are a star . You are all more than welcome to watch the race, the start and finish areas are very exciting to watch and also out on the trail however we would ask that you do not take your dogs in these areas for obvious reasons. Most folk are really friendly however it is fairly busy before the race so timing your approach is key I have been know to look a bit scary at races but I am ok really:ran_embarrassed:. The race is OPEN which means there will be Alaskans and Hounds racing and also the purebred classes. ALL Sibes are eligable to race although NON registered will need to be varified before running, a good idea would be to email us a photograph before the event. ALL welfare SSHC, SHCof GB and SHWA can run too. Hope to see you there. Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt take her right up to dogs to meet them as many will be on stake out lines, and are often very defensive of their packs! If you wait till people have raced they will have more time and be more willing to talk to you as before the race there is so much to do and many people get a bit stressed out! If I go will meet up with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 yea that would be brilliant i want to enter her into one one day and shes in training so i want to get a bit more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyn Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 This one wasn't looking good for us, but now MAY be on the cards. We usually have another prior commitment on this weekend, but heard nothing to say thats going ahead, so going to chase it up and book for Brandon if I don't get a straight answer. Can't be wasting a valuable race weekend when Im off work that weekend :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sure will be camping!!! LOL, would be a long drive back home to return the following day!!!! Come on Lyn, want my Mushing buddy there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 are you all camping there? do you have to pay?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Camping depends on rally organisers! By camping most mean stopping overnight in a van or caravan! Its pretty cold in winter lol!!! I havent looked too closely at the details yet as thought I was working but have had a change of rota so am now off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think there will be camping in the forest, in a van etc, not sure how much though, think you have to put this on your form & the vans regd number or something like that.
