Fancy dress is optional but we’d love to see some great costumes 🤪
Look forward to spooking you on the 29th 🎃 👻 🦴 🧙

I would like to thank kennets for a great day's racing today. Both teams ran really well both getting first place in their divisions. Lottie ran in the top team as usual and was paw perfect again even if Janet North with her dog Obi tried there level best to disrupt her by letting go of her dog or should I say Obi slipping out of her hand and the 2 dogs deciding to run pairs racing together. I know we needed to win the race for first place but I think there is something in the rule that each dog need to run separately. Janet just don't do it again as I thought your ticker was playing silly buggers again when I turned round to find you on the floor.
Tito ran in the 2nd team and although he not as fast as Lottie he ran perfectly as always and tried his hardest for a nearly 9 year old dog.
Well done both teams let try again next weekend and do it all again.

The Barkshire Bandits are looking for new members. Do you have a ball mad dog. Do you and your dog need a hobby and are free at weekends and would like to compete with your dog in a fun dog sport. If the answer is yes then why not send me a message for more details. I am hoping to start a new beginner class on Sunday 5th March, training at Dbarc near Twyford, weather permitting.
We are a small friendly team so why not give it a try. Your dog needs to be good with other dogs, fit and active and obviously like a tennis ball. All training will be given by me and the team. I have about 30 years experience in Flyball and training dogs so please get in touch.

If any one would like to give Flyball a try we will be training on Sunday at Diana Brimblecombe Animal center. Please message for more details

The Barkshire Bandits Flyball team will be running have a go flyball at Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre on Sunday 9th October between 11am and 2pm, weather providing. This will be held along side their October sale. All proceeds will go to the rescue center so why not come along and see what lovely goodies you can buy and also see if your dog has what it takes to be a flyball dog or just give it a go for a bit of fun whilst shopping at their sale.

We are a small team and are looking for new members. If you have a ball mad dog and would like to give it a try, I am planning to hold a new 4 week beginners class soon.
