At the roundabout take the Pentwyn exit and the venue is about 100 yards on your left. Exhibitors from South Wales take M4 to Junction 30 and follow signs for A48 and Cardiff. Join the A48 and follow directions as above. SOFT CRATES The Kennel Club has drawn attention to the potential health and safety implications concerning the use of soft crates at shows as in its view, they do not offer sufficient protection to dogs. Soft crates left unattended at the ringside are a potential hazard particularly when occupied by large breeds, and it has been known for dogs to become distressed and move soft crates along the floor and also escape. Soft crates should only be used when there is sufficient room available and when they can be safely secured. MOBILE PHONES Ringside spectators are requested to have their mobile phones switched off during judging, in due consideration for the dogs and handlers. Note for Exhibitors : Identification on Cages/Crates Exhibitors are reminded that it is their responsibility to display their Exhibit / Bench number on Crates / Cages at all times. This is a Kennel Club requirement. The original Exhibit / Bench number card, as provided by the Show Society, must not be used for this purpose. ATTRACTION OF EXHIBITS : F(1) 17f The attraction of attention of exhibits by any method from outside the ring is prohibited, it is the duty of the Judge, Steward or Show Management noticing such attraction to ask it to cease. The Officers and Committee of this Society do not handle at their own shows. ** SHOW INFORMATION ** ENTRY FEES First Entry £5.00 per dog Subsequent entries £1.00 per class Handling Classes £1.00 per entry Not for Competition £ 50p per dog Catalogues (Prepaid only) £3.00 (none available on day) Membership £2.50 Single £3.00 Family ********************************************* ALL DONATIONS WILL BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED AND ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE SHOW CATALOGUE. ********************************************* EXHIBITORS PLEASE NOTE : No Rosettes will be awarded in the ring.

PROVISO : For the purpose of this Regulation, dogs beaten in competition for Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, Progeny, Brace and Team or a Special Award confined to one breed will not be considered to be a beaten dog. 12. BEST IN SHOW : The dog declared Best in Show is a dog which has competed and is unbeaten by any other dog exhibited at the same Show. Best in Show must be selected from all unbeaten winning dogs. Reserve Best in Show must be selected from the remaining unbeaten winning dogs following the selection for Best in Show.

AUTHORITY TO COMPETE : All dogs resident outside the U.K. must be issued with a Kennel Club Limited Authority to Compete number before entry to the Show/Event can be made. All overseas entries without an Authority to Compete number will be returned to the exhibitor/competitor. 17. DOGS IN CARS ON HOT DAYS : Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the do’s and don’t’s travelling to and whilst at K.C. licensed events. * When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams. * If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all. * The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink. * Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around your dog. * When at the Show, never leave your dog in the vehicle. * Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade, for example a large umbrella, and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. * Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dogs welfare. WARNING : IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog’s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Right to refuse entries : Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that Show Societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulations to refuse any entry. 18. THIS SHOW will be held under Kennel Club Limited Rules & Show Regulations. Every exhibitor making an entry or entries for this Show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by the Kennel Club Rules & Show Regulations and it is on this understanding only that entries are accepted. 19. THE COMMITTEE can accept no responsibility for products advertised or sold by stand holders at the Show, and wish to remind exhibitors that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition. 20. ANY OWNER, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club Limited licensed Show within the licensed venue, and within the environs of that event, including car and caravan parks and approaches. Please clean up after your dog(s) and use only the exercise areas provided. 21. REGULATIONS F.
