WORLD AGILITY OPEN 2011, BRISTOL, ENGLAND.Firstly, a big thank you to all our supporters, those who contributed so generously (nearly 4000 euro was raised), and those who came along to cheer us on at the weekend. It was brilliant to have such a lot of Irish support in the audience and Irish voices to create a huge impact every time a team member came out to run. It really spurred us on.We are very grateful to our Team Coach, Anne Collen, who has worked tirelessly over the last 5 months. By constantly training the handlers on challenging international courses it ensured that everyone was well prepared for all the testing courses they met over the weekend.Thank you to my own team of helpers: Mary Dolan and Patricia Dunn, who were on duty from dawn to dusk over the four days ensuring that each dog and handlers arrived at the right place at the right time in the right frame of mind to do themselves justice. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
