Thanks.
The training is in all aspects of trials except tracking (although if you turn up early enough John normally does tracking in an adjacent field and always seems to be looking to help someone).
Jumps are too. Whatever you want help with, there is always someone there keen and willing to help. Some regular TDEx triallists regularly attend.
Good to have some basic obedience, but saying that if someone is keen enough they will be welcomed. All ability levels are welcome in any case.
OK to just turn up, but good to let soemone know first if you can. Cost last year was enough to cover share of rental of the field. John set it last year at £3, but I think he may just have broke even and no more at the end of the year. Not sure if its more this year, but if it is can't imagine it would be much.
Parking is £1, but Free if you arrive before 10am at the park. The days ran from 10am to about 2pm last year, so bring along a packed lunch. Vogrie does have toilet facilities.
