We had an absolute blast and it sounds like you all did too! Here are some lovely photos and comments from a few who attended. Without you guys, smiling & laughing, the shows wouldn't be as awesome as they are!

Summer Shows... Done!
And just like that, it was all over! Our Summer Shows came and went in a blur. The wind certainly helped to get our tents up quicker on the first Friday, then came sunshine, rain and finally peace and calm descended on the field once more!

May the Forth Be With You!
Our UKA Shows are normally the more serious of shows at Dig It (not that we ever do serious), however this show was by far the silliest we have had for a while!
It all started well with a bright, fresh start. Dark clouds were looming but the rain held off for most of the day. Chief Agility Judge Michelle opened her ring with a tricky but fair beginners Agility. Gaz and Izzy smoothly made it around the 270, pulling off from the A Frame in style, unlike Milo who didn't even think to avoid the A Frame! At least he did a beautiful 2on2off at the bottom, leaving Katie behind still near the start line.
Instructor Bex was making some yummy home made treats (well the dogs seem to enjoy them, they sound quite tasty for humans too) plus a raffle and she made a whopping £85 for her biology conservation trip!
As the Steeplechase courses were set up and everyone had eaten one to many cream eggs, things started to get a little out of hand! Instead of writing about it we've captured all of the best bits in this funny video... trust it to be the Dig It Instructors larking around the most!

As a few Eliminations started tumbling Rachel and Daisy stepped up to get 1st place (despite 5F) in Standard Beginners Agility and Lydia pulled off a cracking run with Freddie for a 1st in Medium Novice Agility.

On a serious note we all went away with great plus points. Avril was happy to see her shy little Oakley running with such confidence (so much so he kept on going and didn't turn the corner despite Avril shouting "Stop Running!"). Adele and Luna pulled off a great Steeplechase run at their first UKA Show, Sue and Rosie won a class at Champion level and Guinness and I pulled off some nice handling moves, despite getting E'd in everything.
We finished late afternoon with everyone going home still chuckling about the fun and laughter we had. There are always lovely comments made about Dig It Shows being a nice, friendly atmosphere and I think this show was no exception!
It's going to be a good year!!

September Summer Show
Autumn is creeping in and the first weekend of September sees the last of our Summer Shows.
The sun was shining on us and everything trundled along as usual. This Show welcomed some shiny upgrades with a new, loud PA system and two new scribe tents (which could also be described as toilet tents but we have discovered their true calling)!
We had a treat of burger vans across both days and Lydia pulled a funny face while running around the Agility course a couple of times after eating a big bacon bap!
We were blessed with some lovely judges who provided nice and interesting courses, and there was a warm welcome back for Susie who has been hiding in the woodwork for too long while studying hard for her Masters degree.
The UKA games class this year has been Power and Speed and we have decided for next year's Summer Shows to change to a different game, perhaps Snooker or Gamblers! Watch this space.
It was nice to see the usual stalls there with Oscars and Sandbach Interactive Dog Toys, who have officially started selling kids toys! People were oddly attracted to the flashing pens and the show started to resemble a rave, with lots of people waving their different coloured flashing pens. I tell you what, these agility people are a little odd!
There was a storm of Dig It Instructors success this weekend, with many of them winning their classes or being placed. Sue and Rosie did especially well on Sunday, winning every class, but that may be because they were the only ones in Advanced! It must be lonely at the top!
Sadly Summer must come to an end but it went out with a friendly smile and a fun, relaxing show. Onward to our Winter Series now! We'll see you in November.
