Training

Lessons with Erik McKechnie are ongoing throughout the summer but there is a waiting list of members. If you wish to be on the list please contact Catriona Goulding (01241 856378)

It must be stressed that if you book a lesson and cannot attend then you are still liable to pay for the lesson and the school hire. It is not the responsibility of the organiser of the lessons to find a substitute, as this is solely up to the person who booked the lesson.


To enter a competition or participate in a training session please click on the link to the schedule and send to the organiser of the event, before the closing date. All closing dates are clearly marked on the schedules.

Full contact details are included within the schedules.

Please pay particular note to the closing date for entries and allow sufficient time for postage.

It is very important that you confirm your time(s) for the competition. The Times section of the web pages will 'whenever possible' display all times ahead of the competition. Where times are unavailable you should continue to phone the designated committee member for your times, during the allocated date & time slot indicated on the competition schedule.If you collect your times from the web site we would appreciate if you could send an email with your name to confirm you have collected your time. Thank you.

If for any reason you are unable to attend please out of courtesy for the organiser, competition helpers, other competitors and judges notify the organiser that you cannot attend. Contact details for the day of the competition will generally be available on both the schedule and within the times section. Please also note the TDG Mobile Phone: 07902291882. This mobile will give members a contact number should anything go wrong and you wish to withdraw or you are going to be late or for winter competitions, if a competition has been cancelled. It will be passed on throughout the year to each show secretary.

Please note that you must still phone the organiser of any training to obtain any relevant times as we are unable to publish this information on the web.
