Well, MFAC's 19th Agility Trial is over (big sigh of relief).  What a team we are!  What a job we did!  Now it is time for THANKS & CONGRATULATIONS. THANKS to all the many members who worked so hard. 

• Thanks to Christine Woodley, trial organizer extraordinaire, who took all the worries on her shoulders.
•  Thanks to Brian, Tahnis and Jeff, who did set up, built courses all weekend and cleaned the building afterward.  Could not be done without your hard work.
• Thanks to Lea & Marilyn, who did set up, gated the rings all weekend and cleaned up as well.
• Thanks to Lynda O, who must have writers cramp.
• Thanks to Sherry for great courses, as well as set up, scoring and clean up (on her birthday, yet).
• Thanks to our kitchen people - Christine B on Friday, Barb V on Saturday and Barb H & Josie on Sunday for keeping the food hot and the place clean - and also thanks to everyone who brought the delicious food to feed us and the Judges.  Also, thanks to Marty, who organized the food - he and Kathleen were unable to play this weekend due to a death in the family.  We were thinking of you.
• Thanks to all the agility members and pending members who came and stayed and worked  and jumped in wherever they were needed Karen & Larry, Audra, who would not put down the broom, Helga, who was there all 3 days scribing and helping score, Kim W who was there all weekend and did some of everything , Christine's B, who kept me sane at the score table at the end, Steve, Jen, Barb H & Josie, Len, Kim M, Hilda, Bob T, Lori & Monika.

• Audra with Shae got Q's in Advanced Gamblers and Snooker and Ollie, in his first trial, got 2 Q's in Starters Snooker.

You done good everybody!  We will find out at the General Meeting on October 1st how much money we managed to make! FYI - the Prize of 1 Year of Free Grooming was won by Danna Shunamon with her BC Steve.  They are from Abbotsford.
