Parking - full details of how to access the free parking area will be porvided to participants closer to event. People are encouraged to travel with other members attending if at all possible to limit the need for parking.

Entry to Show Ground - No cost to Flyballers

Due to OH&S requirements, dogs and handlers need to be escorted in and out of the Show ground and will not be able to walk in or out unless accompanied by an official.

Meeting time at the Pick-up point will be determined to allow time for walk in and set up. Dogs and handlers will be escorted out of the Show Ground and back to the pick-up point once the demo is finished.  

Crates and Equipment - There will be space for dog crates around the racing area, but probably limited and will need to be cleared after each demo. 

Cover / Shade - The "Judging Lawn" that we'll be racing on is undercover.
