A first for our region, myself, Nigel and Bev would like to meet with as any many of the competitors as possible the aim is to discuss the minutes of the last Obedience Liaison Council Meeting, but most importantly to hear the areas views which might even include potential proposals or discussion items for the next OLC meeting .
We appreciate that the Midlands region is a large area, so in order to achieve our goal, We have decided to go on tour!
So if you would like us to come to your dog club please get in touch to arrange a meeting.
