British Dog Grooming Championship aims high in 2013
 |
The Pet Care Trust has announced plans for the biggest ever British Dog Grooming Championship plus the launch of a new consumer dog show called ‘Paws at Bingley’. They'll place on Sunday, October 6, at Bingley Hall, Staffordshire County Showground.
Following on from the success of last year’s British Dog Grooming Championship, which saw a record number of competitors and dogs taking part, the Trust is aiming to attract even more entrants and visitors this year.
The event will play host not just to the cream of British grooming talent through its range of classes and seminars, but also to an assortment of activities, live displays and demonstrations for the dog-owning public.
For the first time the Trust is dedicating an entire section of the venue to the Association’s Accredited Satellite Centres, providing a prime opportunity for prospective groomers or new students to speak with excellent training providers first-hand.
Heidi Anderton, Chair of the Grooming Committee, said: ‘We’re really excited about this year’s British Dog Grooming Championship.
"We are looking to build on the buzz from 2012 and offer more opportunities and incentives for groomers to showcase their talents. The prospect of incorporating this year’s competition with ‘Paws at Bingley’ will allow members of the public to see some of the UK’s finest dog groomers at work.
"We hope it will also raise the profile of the grooming industry and encourage more members of the public to use professional dog groomers to help care for their pet."
A new feature this year will be two streams of seminar taking place. The first, a programme for professional groomers who have come to learn new skills and pick up tips; the second a programme aimed at members of the public looking at caring for the family pet. Topics will include subjects such as basic grooming techniques and pet nutrition.
The expanse of space available this year will mean a larger trade show than before, and as this event is open to both professional groomers and the pet-owning public, the Championship will provide a fantastic opportunity for trade stands to target both consumer and trade.
There are also many sponsorship opportunities available for businesses, of all sizes, keen to be associated with the longest running dog grooming event in the UK.
