JOIN THE ROVING DOG SHOW COMMITTEE AND DO YOUR PART TO KEEP VICTORIA’S DOG SHOWS RUNNING
Thursday, 21 January 2021
Conducting “COVIDSafe” events for our members and canine community, has been Dogs Victoria’s major focus coming in to 2021. Our COVIDSafe Working Party have been working tirelessly with the Victorian Government and event organisers to ensure that our events comply to safety regulations due to COVID-19. The resources created by this committee are available on our website.
However, there is still much to be done and many clubs simply don’t have the resources to run their event complete with COVID Marshals, cleaners, etc., as required. This is reflected in the number of clubs that have already applied to Management Committee to cancel their events. So, in order to get as many events as possible up and running, Management Committee has approved the creation of a temporary Roving Dog Show Committee.
So, where a club hasn’t the resources to run show, the Roving Dog Show Committee will step in and either, (1) run the entire show as a Dogs Victoria event, or (2) provide (at a per entry cost) those COVID-19 requirements the Club Committee can’t manage (such as the supply of trained Covid Marshals, entry gate officials, cleaning services and QR registration). The preferred venue for these shows will be KCC Park as it is easier to fulfil COVID-19 regulations there. Dogs Victoria’s goal is to have at least one dog show event each weekend while the current COVID-19 restrictions apply.
To make this happen, we are calling for volunteers to join this new Roving Dog Show Committee. People with event and show organisation experience would be most welcome.
If you are interested in performing this vital service for Dogs Vic please send an email with your full name and contact details to the CovidSafe Working Party, (Simon Briggs at simonmbriggs@hotmail.com or Ron Murphy at ronofmelbourne@gmail.com).
DOGS VICTORIA ORGANISATIONAL RESTRUCTURE
Thursday, 21 January 2021
Dear Dogs Victoria Members,
I’m pleased to announce the new committee structure for Dogs Victoria for 2021. This new committee structure establishes more effective and manageable links between Dogs Victoria, Management Committee, its subcommittees and the Dogs Victoria’s Staff.
New to the structure are six major committees, each overseeing a cluster of present subcommittees, which remain. Each of these major committees will be chaired by a member of the Management Committee which will aim to improve the flow of information, both within the cluster and back to and from the Management Committee. Each of the six committees will provide a monthly report to the Management Committee on actionable items or recommendations for decision or action.
Each committee will also be supported by Dogs Victoria staff members and will undertake the directions of the Management Committee in serving our membership base and the DV community.

Regards
Vin McPhee
President Dogs Victoria
