Last weekend we went to the British Flyball Championships to compete in Division 20.
Weather was great, I even think Claire and the Kids enjoyed themselves camping for a few nights in our trailer tent:
Racing went very well indeed ... the team is now in a grove !:
Extract -
Div 20 (out of 32)
Position 2nd
Fastest Time - 20.47 seconds
Raced:
Wolverines - We won! - our time 20.71 seconds
Shooting Star Jokers - We Won! - our time 21.60 seconds
Blackpool Quasars - We Won!, (but then DSQ)- our time - 20.47 seconds
Ramsay Raiders - We Won! - our time - 20.70 seconds
Aces Hobbits - We Won! - our time 21.31 seconds
Dogs running
Tosca, Indy, Indie, Muttley, Milly.
Important to note that we beat our seed time for this comp 4 times! 20.70, 20.71, 20.47, 20.61
(Due to a minor infringement of admin paperwork that did not affect the actual racing, in race 3 against the Blackpool Quasars, we were DSQ.)
Problem is that one race disqualification lost the team the BFA Division winners shield and a crystal laser engraved trophy for each of the team members ... such a crying shame as we spanked the other teams ... still, there is always next year !.
I never knew this but Kate & Gin from Britain's Got Talent also do Flyball ... she turned 18 on the Saturday.. and as she went up for her rosette 400 + people in the marquee all sang "Happy Birthday to you" !.

Cant wait for next year ... it's been two sunny Champs in a row... fingers crossed for more of the same in 2010 !.
