Vendors must be approved before the trial close date. Vendors may vend free of charge unless you require power and/or water (which is available for a fee). Circle of Friends reserves the right to decline a vendor reservation. Nikki Kundrun at nikki68@bellsouth.net for vendor information and reservations. RV parking with water, electric, sewer, and showers is available onsite. RV parking is $25/night. Please note: there are twelve 30/50-amp RV parking spots near the arena available to exhibitors (see map). These are not pull-through spots; they have water but no sewer hook-up (there is a dump station in the park). These spots are closer to the arena than the main RV lot, and it would be possible to crate from your RV from these spots. These spaces are first-come, first-served; your check reserves your spot. The main RV parking lot is also available; it is approximately ¼ mile from the arena, so we recommend that you crate your dogs at the arena if you park there. If you request a spot in the lot closer to the arena and all spots are already reserved, you will be assigned a spot in the main RV lot. Please do not pull RVs up to the arena to park for the day; that is not permitted by the park. Please fill out and return the form for RV parking reservations. Dry camping is also available for $15/night. RV owners may dry-camp near Barn 6 as well as in the main RV lot (see map). If you wish to use electrical or water hookups at any time during our trial, please reserve a full-service RV parking space and do not sign up for dry camping. Dry campers may use the restrooms and showers in the RV parking lot. Fill out and return the form for RV dry-camping reservations. Primitive tent camping in a field near the arena is available for $5/day. No electricity is available for campsites, but tent campers may use the restrooms and showers in the RV parking lot for no additional fee. Please do not leave running heaters or generators unattended at campsites or anywhere in the park. Please fill out and return the form for tent camping reservations. Stalls in Barn 6 are available for rent at this trial. Stalls are $53 for the four-day weekend (Thurs - Mon). Exhibitors may share a stall. Stalls are 10 x10, lockable, and equipped with rubber mats. Power is available to stalls for no extra fee. You may sleep in your stall for no additional fee, and use the restrooms and showers in the RV parking lot. You may use a pop-up tent in your stall if you wish. Due to fire hazard, heaters cannot be placed on the rubber stall mats inside the stalls. You may place a heater outside your stall in the barn aisle and direct heat into the stall. Do not leave running heaters or generators unattended in the barn or anywhere in the park. Please do not use crockpots or coffee-makers in stalls. Fill out and return the form for stall reservations. If more than one person is using a stall, have only one person reserve and pay for the stall. Your contact for RV parking, camping & stall rental is Carol Greer. Please text/call her at before or at your arrival so she can unlock the power for you at your parking spot. Please call Carol if you have questions about your stall or campsite, and especially for early arrivals or late departures.

7 Circle of Friends is proud to have been selected to host the 2018 Southeastern NADAC Regional! We re looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones, and having a wonderful weekend with our dogs! This trial is part of the 2018 NADAC Regional circuit, but there is no prerequisite to enter. All teams are welcome, at all levels of experience. In most respects, this will be a typical trial, with normal scoring and classes offered at all levels, including Intro. The 4 rounds of Elite Regular held on Saturday and Sunday will be judged for a bye to the NADAC Championships. Anyone who is eligible to run Elite Regular may enter those classes. NADAC will be testing 2 new classes during this trial, Gamblers and Team Relay, which will be offered at the end of the day on some days of the trial. Since these classes are in the testing phase, there will be no entry fees, and no Qs will be given. If you d like to try the new classes, sign up for them at the show. Rules will be posted at the show, and entries may be limited. This is a double-run trial. As our trials have grown, the days have gotten longer. The double-run format will allow us to continue to offer lots of classes with shorter days. On a day when we offer 8 runs in the double-run format, there will be only 4 course-builds and 4 walkthroughs. Additionally, the double-run format is a terrific training tool. It allows handlers a second chance at each course, to fix something that didn t go as planned or try something different. Teams can Q on either or both rounds of a double run. Let us know what you think! Thank you for supporting NADAC agility in Georgia! We can t wait to see you at our trial!
