(Ring
The novice handlers class will be run again this year. This class is open to those who have not qualified for the nationals within the last 3 years. Entries will be taken on the day.
NEW CLASS:
This year will see the introduction of a clipping competition. This competition will be held on the 29th of July (Wednesday) and will begin at 10 am and will be judged by the Handling Judge. Each club is encouraged to enter a team consisting of two people, one of which must be 15 years or younger and the other person to be of any YMA age. Each club is asked to bring along an extra calf for this competition. The calves must be born in 2008. They should have a full coat of hair and not clipped within the last 6 weeks. All calves will be inspected before the competition begins. Team points to a maximum 15 points are awarded for this along with a prize.
There is a time limit 70 minutes, by which time all calves must be fully clipped including top lines set.
This competition is designed to encourage young people to clip and prepare their own animals while also becoming proficient in the skills of clipping. It is essential that all co-ordinators and club secretaries encourage members to put a team together for this class as it is essential that we promote the skills of clipping in order for the progression of the YMA in years to come.
Please find enclosed entry forms for both handling and calf competitions
as well as the clipping competition.
CMMS forms will be available on the day and I would ask you to have these ready for the department officials on Tuesday the 28th of July.
All co-ordinators and/or club members who can make it are asked to be in Cillin Hill at 8am on Tuesday morning to help to erect the stands and the ring etc. Your help would be greatly appreciated as there is a lot of work to do on the morning of the show.
All club pens must be cleaned out on Wednesday morning before 10am. Failure to do so will result in club disqualification for calf classes.
All clipping bays must also be cleaned out.
No nails to be inserted into the walls
Closing date for receipt of entry forms - Friday 17th July

IHFA Office, Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
