How novel, having time to do blog posts! I think I've done more in the last week than in the last 6 months!
The agility liaison council meet on 20 Jan to discuss several proposals. These can be found on http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?ap=1&id=3451
One of these is an amendment to weave pole spacing. At the moment the distance between weave poles varies hugely, anything between 18" and 24" is acceptable. There is a proposal to standardise the distance to 24". If any of you reading this blog agree with this proposal I would be really grateful if you could email your reps (if you can't attend your area meeting) and voice your thoughts. The contact details for the reps are at the bottom of the page on the link above.
Watching dogs weave on the continent when we went there in 2009 was a bit of an eye opener as to how much easier it looked on their backs... so many dogs over here end up weaving with their spines in an "S" shape wrapped around 3 poles at once, but this should help ease that. It will also be better having one consistent distance rather than each week the dog not knowing what it will face. Something I feel very strongly about :)

I totally agree even though it would mean I will have to buy 3 new sets of weaves :-(
