blackacre Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi all, The following is from the Bluegrass website: Bluegrass Crew We invite anyone who is not running in a class to help form the crew for that class.? Novice handlers in particular are encouraged to help in as many different areas as possible, but anyone interested is welcome. You'll learn about trial rules and regulations as well as about how to run a trial efficiently..and you'll be giving us a helping hand!? Sign up for the time slots you can work by contacting: Cindy Kettlewell at ckettle@brecnet.com I see Sue is down for several slots. Thank you Sue! However, there are still several slots to be filled. (Go to http://www.bluegrasstrial.com/ to see what slots are available.) I promise that if you end up being assigned to the Novice field, you will be a pro by the time you're done. I might even provide "CP and Proud of It" buttons for the favoured few. Or would you prefer "Kelpies Rule" T-shirts? Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Right now, I am feeling rather amazed that they even want my help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Oh Sue, if they dont want you I sure do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Oh, Sam, you just say the NICEST things! Hopefully, I will learn some good skills at the Bluegrass so that I will be useful at Frontrunner. Just being wanted makes my day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucknjill Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 naw, I have just killed off most of my local friends and I am having to cultivate some of the ones that live farther away! Beware, I might stick an auger in your hands too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hey, I'm going to be moving back to VA for a couple of months before heading out west. I have no idea how to handle an auger, but I learn fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I could learn how to handle an auger - might come in handy around here! About your skills with concrete, did you used to work for the mob? Instead of your enemies swimming with the fishes, they could be holding up fenceposts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Ah, Sam, two new auger volunteers. Grab them while you can! (Melanie, the auger probably weighs more than you do-- ) Sam, I did notice that your round pens seem to be in a field that was cultivated, so at least you must not be struggling with tree roots! J.

prosperia Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 You dont suppose they would mind someone who is totally green? Hey, I play bluegrass, does that count? Maybe I could offer to bring the band along and keep everyone entertained while they work. Hmmm, like that wouldnt be distracting. oh well. ..

blackacre Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Nope, that's fine. I will PERSONALLY train you if you ask for the Novice field. All you need to do is be able to use a calculator and write down numbers on a board accurately. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Melanine, How are you with a shovel? Will you work for sheep time? Are you going to be in VA Sept 16-25? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoofly Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Don't feel too bad Sam - it didn't occur to me either. Guess you can tell we're not planning to go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I knew the significance of those dates, and I'm not likely to get out of Ranch this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Mark, How are you with a shovel? Remember, I am a trained archaeologist. I can do fine work as well as moving large amounts of dirt! (I'm also a former horseperson so I can move large amounts of, er, other stuff.) Will you work for sheep time? Always! Are you going to be in VA Sept 16-25? Alas, no. I will be in San Francisco by then, attempting to make friends and find somewhere to work dogs out there. Wah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 So Sam, are you saying I should drop a line when I get to VA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
