8 Important Notice to Exhibitors The safety of the public at Agricultural Shows is a matter of paramount importance in recognition of the importance of Public Liability Insurance and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 with regard to all of their additions and amendments. In order to meet legal and insurers requirements, it has been necessary to introduce arrangements to segregate, as far as possible, the general public from livestock and horses. The Society has appointed Stewards to supervise the implementation of these measures who will control the movement of people and livestock to and from different areas of the Showground. THE DIRECTION OF THE STEWARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED AND ADHERED TO AT ALL TIMES. It is in your own interests to comply with all instructions and to observe the procedures laid down. The Society would appreciate your full co-operation. Should any exhibitor refuse to comply with the instructions of the Stewards, the Society will have no alternative but to immediately remove that exhibitor s entries from the Showground and all fees paid or prizes won will be forfeit. This condition will be strictly enforced and no appeal will be entertained. You are urged to familiarise yourself with details of the routes to be taken to and from the Main Ring and the various Showing Rings and seek assistance or advice of the Stewards if you are in doubt about any aspect of this matter. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY The Society, its officers or servants shall not be responsible for any persons whatsoever while on the Society s premises, or while entering or leaving same for any damages or loss, however caused, to the property of such person, or for any injury, fatal or otherwise, to any such person. The Society, its officers or servants shall not be responsible for any accident, damage or loss, however caused, that may occur to any exhibitor or his servant, or to any animal, article or property, brought into the Showground. Each exhibitor shall be solely responsible for loss, injury or damage that be done to, or arising from any animal, article or property exhibited or brought on to the Showground by him, and he shall indemnify and hold harmless the Society from and against all actions, suits, expenses and claims on account of, or in respect of any such damage or injury which may be so caused or occasioned. Will exhibitors please ensure that they have their passes with them on Show Day, as no excuse can be accepted by the gate attendants and no refunds will be made. Anyone requiring a pass out of the Showground will have their hand marked with a rubber stamp. ATTENTION Exhibitors All cup presentations are made under the following rules: On signing for all cups/trophies the recipient is accepting full responsibility for its care and return.

57 ELIGIBILITY FOR CLASSES In the following definitions of classes First Prizes or other prize wins are those gained in standard classes at any Kennel Club Licensed Championship Agility, Premier Agility, Open Agility or Limited Agility Shows (i.e. special classes and invitational events excepted). Only a first place with a clear round completed within the course time set by the judge will count towards grade progression. Standard classes may be scheduled for Agility Shows, as Agility classes or Jumping classes. All standard classes must contain the Weaving Poles obstacle. Standard Agility classes must contain the following elements: A Ramp, Dog Walk and See-Saw. With this proviso classes are defined as follows: - Class Structure: A Class may either be held as a Graded Class or a Combined Class. A Graded Class may be scheduled for one or more consecutive Grades with separate results and awards issued for each grade. A Combined Class may be scheduled for more than one consecutive grade with one overall set of results. Progression: Progression from each Grade will require one Agility win or three Jumping wins in standard classes at that grade, at either Full Height or the Lower Height Option, except that progression from Grade 5 will require 3 wins at Grade 5, one of which must be an agility class. Progression from Grade 6 will require 4 wins at Grade 6, two of which must be agility classes. Results from Combined Classes will only count towards progression from the dog s current grade. Lower Height Option: Societies may offer the Lower Height Option to all dogs in that height category and may be offered at all grades. It is to be run as part of any Standard class as defined in the regulations and must be clearly identified in the schedule. Each relevant class will have two heights with a change part way through to raise/lower the jump heights and competitors must run at their entered height. The order in which the heights will run must be detailed on the ring cards/ring plan. There will be only one course walking at the start of the class. In a class where the Lower Height Option is available show organisers may offer one set of awards by combining the results of each height or may offer separate awards for each height category. Competitors will be allowed to walk the course set at Small, Medium or Large height without their dog(s) before the class begins. Hurdles may be raised/lowered during the course walking time if multiple heights are offered within the same class. When the Lower Height Option is scheduled a dog may only be entered at either the Full Height or at the Lower Height and it cannot compete at a different height in any other class at that competition, including special classes. For these purposes a competition shall be defined as all classes covered within the same schedule. Points Progression. At the handler s discretion a dog may progress up to Grade 4 by winning 100 points at each grade, using the Agility Warrant points scheme (Regulation K3.c refers), except that there is no requirement for a minimum number of agility points. If this method of progression is selected, the handler must ensure the Show Secretary signs the dog s Agility Record Book at the first show entered at the higher grade. There is no time limit on this progression, however once a dog has progressed, it cannot return to a previous grade. Progression on points must be done prior to the closing date of entries. It is not possible to change a grade on points once the entries have closed. STANDARD CLASSES Only first prizes and points gained in standard classes at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows may be used for progression through the classes. (A dog is only eligible for one grade). In defining the eligibility of the owner or handler for Grade 1, the three jumping wins and points progression referred to in the definition apply only to one dog and not an accumulation of dogs. Grade 1 (Elementary) For owners, handlers or dogs which have not gained a first place in an Agility Class or three first places in Jumping Classes at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows. N.B.

N.B. Owners, handlers or dogs previously qualified out of Grade 2 (Starters) are not eligible for this class. Grade 3 (Graduate) Open to dogs which are not eligible for Grade 1 or 2 or have elected to progress on points from Grade 2 at Kennel Club Licensed Agility Shows and dogs which are not eligible for Grade 4, 5, 6 or 7.
