What Can I Do?
This weekend is not to be missed in 2011 with training throughout the three days and Crufts qualifying competitions held on Sunday which is one of the last chances to qualify in 2011. Remember that you don’t need any experience in any of the activities to attend with your dog as our training covers all needs, from absolute beginners to our regular attendees, and you can attend with any KC registered dog so there’s no reason to miss out! Plus a chance to take part in evening activities including a disco on Saturday night.

You can find the full rules for each competition under the competing section of the website.
Does My Dog Need To Be Registered?

Once members have qualified in the handling class for dfs Crufts 2011 at a YKC Activity Weekend they are no longer allowed to enter the qualifying classes at the other YKC Activity Weekends.
Can I Bring An Unentered Dog?

About Newark Showground
With 84 acres set inside a secure fence, the Newark Showground offers a perfect venue for all events. A further 60 acres are available for parking of traders, exhibitors and public as well as other uses including camping. The Showground is a flat site with 6 acres of buildings, 61 stables, 3 horse rings each with a collecting ring plus 3 warm up rings and a further 10 small animal rings.
Access can be from the A46, but the ideal approach is from the A17 which allows a longer build of traffic onto the 20 acre South-Eastern runway. The Newark Showground is only 1.5 miles from the A1 and offers many facilities.
