                                           "Rocket"
 Rocket arrived as a baby puppy in March 2017, we instantly fell in love with this boy who has such
 a big personality.
 Rocket has achieved fantastic results in the show ring under Australian and International judges.
 His results to date include: three Best in Shows, two Runner Up in Shows, 17 Best in Groups, 20
 Runner Up in Groups, 15 in show awards and 71 in group awards, always against very respected
 competition. We genuinely thank all the judges who have awarded Rocket so highly, recognising
 his breed conformation and beautiful movement.
                                   Rocket has been invited to the last two Contest of Champions,
                                   making the top eight both times.
                                   During winter 2019, Rocket went to New Zealand, gaining his
                                   championship there with some nice group and show awards. He
                                   sired a litter which has so far produced two champions.
                                   When the Dogzonline competition finished at the end of March
                                   this year, Rocket was the Number 1 Bearded Collie in Australia.
                                   During our break in showing this year we taught Rocket many
                                   tricks and he has so far achieved his Advanced Trick Dog title,
                                   under the American system. Rocket is a fast learner and we look
                                   forward to exploring other disciplines with him.
                                   We sincerely thank the wonderful group of people who handle
                                   Rocket for us, we appreciate very much the support we receive
                                   from so many in the dog world.
                                   Rocket was bred for us by Colleen and Richard Stoate and we
                                   are indebted to them for this beautiful boy.
                                   Rocket is proudly owned, loved and presented by Simon and
                                   Denise Finlay.
                                   We wish everyone a great festive season and really hope that
                                   2021 is a much better year for all.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Well we are approaching the end of 2020 and what a year it has been. Last January no one could
have imagined what was going to happen. Now 11 months later with few active COVID-19 cases
in Australia and vaccines apparently just around the corner perhaps hopefully the worst is over.
In Tasmania we have been spared the worst effects of the pandemic although many people have
been shattered economically. We have just had visits from Sydney relatives for the first time since
February. It is amazing how much grandkids can grow in a year.
It is imperative that we continue to socially distance and wear masks where appropriate to ensure
we don’t have to reimpose borders.
We are heading into the festive season and can I wish all our members and their relatives a very
happy holiday season and best wishes for 2021.
Well, shows and events have recommenced and congratulations to everyone who was involved.
Officials and exhibitors behaved immaculately and all events were most successful. It also great to
see that Burnie has received 320 entries for the “Goodbye2020” Shows. Have a great day.
Nominations for the Council elections closed at the end of October. Four valid nominations were
received for the five vacancies. All those four have been declared elected and the Returning
Officer’s declaration is in this gazette. Welcome to our new Councillor Maree Aitchison who brings
with her a wealth of business experience. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Geoff
Blyth who after 20 years on Council decided he wanted a life. Geoff spent a number of years as
Vice President and I owe him a debt of thanks for the support he gave me.
The remaining vacancy for the balance of Brian Enright’s term will be filled by Council in
accordance with the Constitution.
The AGM of ANKC took place virtually in October and I was re-elected as Treasurer of that
organisation. A summary of the proceedings of the meeting is in this gazette. A Special Board
meeting took place on 24 November 2020 with the main object being progressing the replacement
of ANKC’s IT System.
The Greens have released their policy on animal welfare for the next election. Any member
interested in viewing this policy should go to the Greens Website. Dogs Tasmania has arranged to
meet with the Labor Party and the RSPCA during December and is organising to meet with the
Policy Officer (Animal Health and Welfare) DPIPWE. We have been told that the Animal Welfare
Advisory Committee will be reviewing the Act in 2021 as part of the normal legislative review. Full
consultation will be undertaken with all stakeholders which includes Dogs Tasmania.
Take care of yourselves.
                                                                            David Sales, President

 T he TCA Inc Council & Staff wish all members
    a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

           (if applicable); and
       (c) responsible dog ownership information; and all documentation required by
           DogsTasmania.
83     Any person or any affiliated body found guilty of a charge or breach of a TCA Inc Regulation
       or Code of Behaviour and Ethics or TCA Inc policy may within fourteen (14) days of the
       receipt of the written notification of the penalty give notice of appeal against the decision,
       such notice shall be accompanied by a deposit of 8 units (as per the current “Scale of
       Charges”). The TCA Inc. Council shall hear the appeal, either upon the evidence previously
       before it or upon affidavits or statutory declarations or viva voce evidence or in any way it
       may think fit, either in the presence or absence of the person or persons considered by the
       said TCA Inc. Council to be concerned. The TCA Inc. Council may then quash, set aside,
       decrease or add to the penalty awarded by it or confirm its previous decision.
127    A steward is to assemble the exhibits for a class by calling the exhibit number in such a
       manner that the handler ought to have reasonably heard the call. Three calls are deemed
       to be sufficient notice. The onus is on the exhibitor to be present at the ring when required,
       and to wear the exhibit number applicable to the exhibit being handled.
127.1 An exhibit will be declared absent by the ring steward if its number has not been
      acknowledged and the exhibit is not present in the ring at the time when the ring steward
      consigns the class to the judge for the commencement of judging of that class. If a steward
      declares an exhibit absent the judge has no authority to override the steward’s action.
129.2 If a member is, or becomes incapacitated on the day of the show and requires an assistant
      to handle their dog, the Ring Steward must be advised prior to the exhibit entering the
      judging ring. The assistant must not under any circumstances impede the Judging.
162    All rings must be clearly numbered for identification. Signs must a minimum of 1500 mm
       above ground level. The numbers are to be a minimum of 230 mm in height and of an
       appropriate width. Ring 1 shall be a minimum of 225 square metres with a minimum width
       of 10 metres. All other Rings shall be a minimum of 115 square metres with a minimum
       width of 10 metres.

• No smoking or spitting on the grounds is permitted.

Clubs to ensure that:
AT ALL TIMES SOCIAL DISTANCING AND GOVERNMENT PROTOCOLS ARE ADHERED
TO
• It is advisable that clubs utilise a different clipboard and pen for each steward and that
  these be sanitized after use. Prefer that stewards supply their own.
• Stewards need to be able to stand apart from exhibitors, therefore exhibitors cannot
  congregate under the gazebo the steward is using.
• The judging table to be placed well away from the entrance gate.
• Entrance and exit gates to be separate and must be strictly monitored even if handlers are
  changing dogs.
• Time needs to be allocated between groups and classes and exhibitors given time to
  change dogs.
• Exhibitor numbers are to be distributed once exhibitors/handlers enter the ground. You
  must ensure you do not let people congregate in one area.
• In office spaces, it is one person per 2m2 and the appropriate number of people allowed
  should be displayed on doors to office spaces. Judges would need to be kept out of small
  offices and exhibitors could be asked to knock and wait for event manager to come
  outside if they need to get assistance.

Current as at 1 December 2020 but subject to change to meet government requirements.
Exhibitors need to check the Dogs Tasmania Website regularly for updates.
