About the event

Fall test **VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!**
**We still need more volunteers for the Fall test! If you’re interested, contact Jim!**

It’s hard to believe we are already into August, which means our fall test is quickly approaching. The club and I are once again asking for volunteer help at our fall test.

The fall test is a three-day event, August 29th, 30th, and 31st. It looks like Friday will be Gun Dog and Utility, Saturday all Utility, and Sunday will be Natural Ability, Gun Dog, and Utility. All three days will be busy and require a committed group of volunteers.

We had a great volunteer response for our spring test, and I am sure we can replicate that for the fall. The Chapter needs 7-8 volunteers each day. Ideally, enough folks will volunteer so no one needs to work multiple days, unless they want to.

The club had a number of new/first time handlers running dogs at the spring test. I would strongly suggest any folks from this group thinking of running their dogs at the Gun Dog or Utility level next year, volunteer for the fall test. Working a test is an important step in preparing your dog and yourselves for this next level.

Many of you have run dogs at previous chapter tests and your positive experience was due in large measure to volunteers. Helping during the fall test is a great way to pay it back. Our tests are run by volunteers, from the judges to bird planters. The Chapter’s ability to hold successful test days revolves around volunteers.

Volunteer positions needed:

Marshall
Bird trailer manager
Bird planters
Winger operators
Set-up/take-down
Food service

Please respond directly to aiAhIGppb3R0aXMgfCBjb21jYXN0ICEgbmV0 to sign on as a volunteer. Include the specific date you’ll help out and the function you would like to handle. If you have questions, email or shoot me a text at 603-533-3230.

Helping during a test is a great opportunity to watch excellent dog work, meet new folks, learn about the testing process, and pay it forward to NAVHDA Chapters. Those of you who are new to NAVHDA testing can get an excellent overview of the testing process by volunteering. There is much to be learned watching other dogs/handlers, being part of the test process and having some fun along the way.

The club will be providing lunch, so you will not leave hungry!

No prior test work experience is required; we’ll have club members available to show you the ropes. New members are encouraged to volunteer.
