Message regarding Barn Hunt

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

The Board of Directors has initiated discussions with an organization that has been recently formed to resolve issues related to the Barn Hunt program at the Club. Your Board recognizes the enjoyment and satisfaction many of our members enjoy as a result of their participation in Barn Hunt activities. We appreciate the hard work and enthusiasm many of our members have displayed building and managing this program. It is our hope and desire that members of our club can continue to enjoy Barn Hunt classes, practices and events.

With that said, our club is an organization that has always worked for the good of its members. Member conduct and compliance with rules are imperative to the smooth operation of an organization with nearly 200 members, and a variety of interests in dog sports and activities. Your board members need to fulfill their responsibilities to protect our organizations property, reputation and liability. We are prepared to negotiate in good faith with the well-being of our Club and its members in mind.
While we we work through the process of this situation, we ask that you please respect the process and refrain from spreading misinformation that you don’t know to be completely accurate.

Building Closed in May (See below for dates)

Posted on by Gem City WebAdmin

All members:

The Northcut building will be closed for all training on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 16, 17 18. The 33 lights in the main room and bathrooms are scheduled to be upgraded to LED which will require an electric lift, floor coverings, and various materials on the floor.  The timing to get this done is very tight and we will not be able to accommodate a safe passage to the turf room.

The front room will still have the scissors lift in it until it can be picked up that morning or afternoon.  We will have it out of there before classes start.

Thank you for your cooperation.
