MGDA HUNT TEST AND WC
Congratulations to all of the Handlers and Committee Members and Volunteers who were able to assist in successfully having our first MGDA event of the season, safely with smiles. It was very nice to see everyone out with their dogs, helping to have an event in these new times.

What is your participation interest?
The membership form that is completed each year helps to indentify the areas of interest you have with our club. Whether it is events, membership, sponsorship, work parties, fundraising activities, training groups etc. Over the years, it has become more and more that we receive only your cheque or etransfer, but no form that indicates your interest. The form also provides us with your mailing address and phone number and email address.
If you have a particular area of interest, please contact one of your executive members to share or send an email to manitobagundog@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you.
