How's the hand, Mark?
I'm guessing the trial is this coming weekend..how are you set, weather-wise?
I see that a volunteer sheet was on your list..when my regional Corgi club puts on our annual herding trial we have volunteers for scribing, timekeeping, gate control, and managing the hospitality food. We hire a Trial Secretary who handles all of the official paperwork and deals with scoring, placements, and awards. We also have to have a team of course builders, as the course has to be re-set several times each day.. I'm guessing you have already built yours and it stays the same?
I usually help on the course building team, as it is a job that it is OK for someone entered in the trial to do. I have scribed for my herding instructor when she has judged elsewhere... THAT is a very educational experience!
Hope it's a great success for you.
