Have you checked the calendar?
Clubs are reminded of the following:
- If a club does not intend to hold an event which is listed on the calendar that they need to request to have the event removed. By doing so this will allow other clubs to hold their events on the busier weekends.
- If a club intends to hold an additional event to what is on the calendar, this request must come to the office in writing at least six months in advance for approval by the Calendar & Events Committee, via the office. The request can either come on club letterhead or via the online form found here

“Any affiliated body that wishes to change the date that has been allocated for the holding of a Championship Show, Open Show, Parade or Trial, shall make application for the change. No application will be considered within six (6) months of the scheduled date of such fixture”
Have you lodged your schedule?
- Clubs MUST lodge their schedule for approval before they advertise their event. Monetary penalties are being imposed on clubs who do not lodge their schedules in the adequate time frame.
- Judges contracts MUST be lodged with all schedules. Judges cannot be contracted for an event which has not been approved onto the calendar.
- Clubs must make sure that if they are lodging schedule all events are listed have been approved and placed on the Dogs Victoria calendar.

Welcome to our new grounds caretakers!
Thursday, 4 July 2019
Dear members, it is with great delight to welcome Geoff and Rosemarie to DV. They are our new cleaners/caretakers for KCCP and Bulla parks. They will ensure our facilities are kept clean and tidy and at times may be in attendance during events to assist members. They will setup rings and work alongside the events coordinators to ensure we deliver well planned and professional services to our members. They also bring much needed skills into the organisation including a mechanical background which can attend to our aging infrastructure reducing costs relying on contractors.

A Notice to all Melbourne Royal Show 2022 Participants
It has come to Dogs Victoria's attention that parking on Leonard Crescent, Flemington has changed from previous years. Although it is directed in your drop off/pick up parking permits to park in the Broadcast (Victoria University) carpark, on day one there was no ability to pay cash at the gate with members being advised that they needed to prebook. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be clear guidance on how to pre pay for this parking.
The Melbourne Royal Show has advised Dogs Victoria that exhibitors can access the main Flemington Racecourse carpark after drop off. Alternatives are to pay for local private house parking or park at the local school. Dogs Victoria is continuing to seek clarity from The Melbourne Royal Show regarding exhibitor car parking and will update members as soon as any further information is available. I encourage members to preplan their parking and to share this with any Melbourne Royal Show Exhibitors to avoid any parking complications.
Kind Regards,
Jason Eggleton | Chief Executive
