Kalkoura Club To stimulate interest among young local dog trialists, the Kaikoura Collie Dog Club will allow local competitors to enter in the maiden class only. This was decided at the annual meeting held recently. Previously competitors had to enter dogs in open, intermediate. and maiden classes. The new rule will allow young trialists to run several dogs at little expense, and give them a chance of winning. A membership fee of 91, and an entry fee of 50 cents will cover the first run, and additional runs will cost 50 cents. The club is expecting increased entries for its trials on May 3 and 4, and with the keen interest shown by young members, expects to have another successful season. Officers are:— President, Mr J. W. Laugesen: vice-president. Mr L. P. Taylor: secretary-treasurer, Mr W. A. Harris: auditor, Mr J. G. Armstrong; committee. Messrs Laugesen. R. L. Harris, S. W. Pilbrow. N. D. Gray, J. J. Smith.
