Heelwork To Music Team GB 2011 arrived home very happy.

HTM Team GB WON GOLD in the HTM Open European Championship with Karen Sykes and Fly winning GOLD in the Individual HTM Open Championship. All the Team's dogs made the Top Ten - a credit to them all. Angus placed 5th and Amber in 10th.

In the Freestyle - HTM Team GB were placed 4th - with Lesley and Angus being placed 4th in the Individual Championship and Spice in 7th place.

The Team did very well raising funds in the very short space of time available and would once again like to thank EVERYONE who contributed and supported the team.

HTM TEAM GB Timetable

The Team are in the final stages for preparing for their travel to compete in Denmark next month with House Sitters booked to look after the handler's non competing dogs whilst they are away.

In just over four weeks, the entire Team GB will set off to Harwich to catch the ferry to Esbjerg in Denmark. The DFDS Seaways Harwich-to-Esbjerg ferry service connects Essex in South-East England to Esbjerg in the pretty Ribe region of western Denmark. Travelling on DFDS's newest ferry the DANA SIRENA.

This 17 hour journey will have set times when the dogs are allowed out of the cars for a little exercise, and as it is an overnight ferry there will be a good stretch of time when all will be sleeping.

Once in Denmark, the Team will then drive for approximately 90 minutes to the house they are renting on the West Coast and arrive there on Tuesday 22nd June.

Wednesday will be a very welcome free day for the Team to rest and practice before competing.

Thursday the Team will be visiting the Messecentre Herning, the venue for The World Show. There are 19,354 dogs entered at this show!!!! Thursday afternoon will be practice time (15 minutes for each team of three) which will be allocated for each team by the organsers followed by a Dinner for all competitors and their partners.

There is a catalogue available showing all competitors - but no running orders given yet - the team has to wait for the draw to be made on Thursday before the competition.

On Friday at noon, all the teams are invited to the opening ceremony.
This will be followed by the Heelwork To Music Competition when Carole, Gina and Kath will be competing.

Saturday is the Freestyle Competition when Michelle, Penny and Jenny will be competing.

The Competitions then conclude on Sunday with individual handler competitions for both HTM and Freestyle - ie the Top 10 highest individual scoring dogs taken from the Team Competitions.

Monday the Team will be starting their journey home - again taking the DFDS Ferry from Esbjerg to Harwich and then onwards back home.

The Team will endeavour to keep the Blog updated during their time away.
