HELPERS TRAINING DAY
18th April 2026
Knaresborough
A free event - all we ask is that you commit to helping at 4 events in next 24 months
OK so whilst it IS totally free, we do ask that you commit to help at 4 of Three Ridings Working Tests in the next 24 months - that's just 2 days a year, not much to ask we think!
This Training Day is for you if you would like to help out and learn more about the sport at the same time. Maybe you're new to the sport or been around for a while but been a bit cautious about helping in case you don't know what's expected.
It's for you to learn how we organise these events on the day. And yes let's face it, all the working test events for ALL clubs rely on the kindness of volunteers to make them happen so we want to invest some time to grow our volunteers and give you the knowledge to help as best as you can. Powered by a free lunch and the opportunity to do some dog training at the end of the day if you'd like to.
For full details of the day please visit our Events page you can access from our home page.
​
Attendees can bring their dogs to have a go at the test scenarios at the end of the day.
The day will include some light hearted competitions with prizes for winners
There are 10 places FREE OF CHARGE with lunch included. In return you commit to attend and help at a minimum of 4 of Three Ridings Working Tests over a 24-month period.
If you'd like to attend please email wtsec@threeridingslc.com
