RETRIEVING AND FIELD TRIALS CLUB OF SA INC.
Affiliated with the South Australian Canine Association Inc., will conduct a

RETRIEVING TRIAL FOR GUNDOGS
proudly sponsored by Cobber

Whilst we are all hopeful that this will be a “normal” retrieving season, we do understand that Covid-19 is an ongoing issue. We also know that state governments act very quickly when there is a reported outbreak and one of their favoured strategies is to close borders to interstate travel.
In light of this RAFTCOSA has decided that for 2021 – if an interstate trialler enters any of our 6 week-ends of retrieving trials and then, because of a hard border closure, is unable to travel into South Australia to compete, we will refund the entry fee they have paid. Please note that we will NOT refund any extra charges made by EasyDogs – only the entry fee as listed on the schedule.

All those attending this trial will be required to follow the Covid-19 instructions
