To publicise the parks and to also have a bit of fun over the Dunbar Civic Week we are planning a “fun” dog show at Winterfield Park on Monday 18th June: dog show2pdf
Entries: 50p per dog per class. Entries will be limited to 20 per class
Registration opens at 6pm and classes will commence at 6.30pm.
The timings of classes are approximate
Order of Events:
K9 Adventures Dog Agility Display will commence at 6pm

Classes will be judged by retired veterinary surgeon, Pam Meldrum. K9 Dog Agility will lay on a display and energetic owners and their dogs will be able to try out the course. Sunny Sundae Vintage Ice Cream Tricycle will be selling ice cream and cold refreshments and tray bakes, from The Garden Path Cafe’, will be on sale. Friends of Winterfield will have display boards and will be consulting with the public, during the event, to canvas opinion on the future use of the park. Other exhibitors include Dog Watch and Dunbar in Bloom.
In addition to the dog show, Dunbar Community Tennis Centre are holding a junior tennis competition at the park, so there will be plenty to see. This is the first event to be run by Friends of Winterfield. If it catches on then perhaps it could be a regular event. We’ve had a lot of help locally: West Port Pet Shop have donated prizes and Sustaining Dunbar have helped with some of our admin, while others have helped with the displays or distributing fliers. We’ve our fingers crossed for some good weather. Obviously we’re hoping people will come to the park and enjoy the show but we’re also hoping to draw people to the park who have never been before.
