Wow - another amazing NADAC Tails Up Agility Club Trial in Chesapeake, VA! Mother Nature decided to be our friend this weekend and did not test the recently renovated trial site driveway. It held up great for all the cars and the RVs. Huge Thanks to our Judges Erin Wajda and Dwayne Bonker, who brought some great courses that challenged our awesome teams and made us think a little. It was really great to see so many new NADAC exhibitors! We broke them in right and taught them how to be volunteers rather quickly.   :-)   Another successful Yappy Hour with puppy play time, finishing up with a nice bon-fire. Thanks everyone for coming and playing with us. Hope to see all of you in November!

Wow!  What an Amazing Weekend!  Mother Nature was not our friend but the agility fields held up wonderfully, although I am sad to say the trial site driveway did not.  Thanks to our judge, Sunny Williams, who brought some fun and challenging courses that were also nicely suited for the weather we had!  Thank You Sunny also for the Great Seminar on Friday.  It's really nice to have a different view and so many "options!"  It was great to see everyone after a winter break and especially good to meet some brand new NADAC Exhibitors!  Thanks to all the volunteers that kept the trial rolling along smoothly, especially after a 3.5 hour rain delay Saturday morning.  It is so nice to have lighted rings!  Yappy Hour was awesome as usual - no matter what time it starts!

Linda Anderson and Zia: Platinum Speed Star

Special thanks to everyone who chipped in to volunteer at the trial; than you sooo much, you make our trials run so smoothly! The trial ran so well that we sped through Saturdays 250 runs and were done by 2:30pm for our BEST YAPPY HOUR cookout EVER!!!!! So much fun and a great group of dogs and their people to hang around and share food with!

Big thanks to the Best Judge in NADAC (at least this weekend!) Chris Nelson for bringing some really cool courses to run and plenty of encouragement and enthusiasm. He reports that his judging gift fits although its a little itchy.

 One more awesome trial in the books! Thanks and congrats to everyone who came to our April 15-17, 2011 NADAC trial! Saturday’s extremely fierce winds led to switching Saturday’s TNG with Sunday’s Tunnelers but every exhibitor happily embraced the change and went with the flow in true NADAC spirit! The weather also prompted moving Saturday’s Yappy Hour cookout to the trial secretary’s home where we celebrated the day while nervously watching news reports of tornados an hour north and south of us. Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day and much fun was had by all! Everyone looked like they were having a ton of fun and there were lots of wonderful accomplishments to celebrate!!

But first, let’s get to the Thank Yous:
• Susan Perry for being a fabulous judge and keeping the trial running, bringing such fun courses, and being so positive
• All the volunteer workers who helped the trial go smoothly! Thanks everyone, we couldn’t do it without you!
• Toms-squared: Tom Maloney-Harmon and Tom Fix for all their course building work, and everyone else who chipped in and helped get those courses ready to run quickly!
• Debi Hutchinson for conducting an awesome Extreme Games seminar on Friday—we are looking forward to trying these fun games this fall at our November trial!

Congratulations for the following awards to:
Tom Fix & Breeze: NATCH
Linda Anderson & Zia: NATCH2
Deb Baracco & Jet: NATCH3
Nicole Bailey & Luxx: V-NATCH4

 Wow! Soooo cool to see so many awesome Elite teams in action but also to see many Novice teams earn the first of many awards to come! We’re not sure if six NATCHes earned at one trial is a record or not but we’ve never given away that many in a single trial before!!

Finally, we love to hear when new-to-NADAC exhibitors tell us much fun they had and how amazed they are at the skills of NADAC teams compared to what they see in other venues, and, most importantly, how they are looking forward to coming to one of our future NADAC trials. There probably isn’t a better compliment to be earned and we are just so happy that we have NADAC to play in—huge THANKS to all of you for making our trials such a success and for showing how great NADAC is!!
