Unfortunately, our entries arrived too 'late' for this show, but we were first on the reserve list. A week before, Judy phoned to say a team had pulled out, so we could enter one team. Then 10.30pm Thursday, just before the show, Judy phoned again to say another team had pulled out, and could we get our second team there! So I had to rally round to get everyone together again at short notice. Sally & Kay were unable to come at such short notice, so Kevin got a phone call early Friday morning, to see if he and Beano would like to come to their first show. Luckily for me, they did!
So we had Beano & Beau at their first competition, along with Molly, Badger & Tosh in the Allsorts, seeded 6 in Div 2. We lost most of our races 3-0, but it all came down to our passes, which were late, due to being inexperienced. But we did get a best time of 21.11. Beano only had one hiccup, after we changed lanes, but by the end of the race, he was racing back down the jumps. I think Beau only 'went wrong' once, when the ball rolled, and he made an effort to return over the jumps, but just missed the first one. Next time it happened, he managed to correct himself. So although we came 6th we had an excellent days racing - Beano & Beau both raced well, Molly went 2nd or 3rd in the line up, with out twiddling until she got tired and Tosh managed to behave himself and gain his FDi!!
Hotdogs were in Div 1, so Breeze joined Spencer, Abby & Ollie. Again, we were 'out powered' on speed and lost most of our races 3-0. Abby attempted to hold up the racing, by hitting her head against the timing beam stands, and taking off a large piece of plastic! I think she was oblivious to the fact, but she got another run out of it! Our fastest time was 20.20, and we were 6th again.
