You will see handlers actively training during demos, something we are <I>not </I>allowed to do during competition.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="4892cb90.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="185" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="8" VSPACE="0"><B>Optional Addition to the Demo show: "Try-It-Out" courses</B>  In 2008 we added a lane to our demo course so that we can offer discounted Flyball Try-It-Out evaluations to people attending these events with their dogs. The charge is $5 per dog, with all proceeds donated to the host of the fundraising event. (<A HREF="id71.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="How Do We Get Into Flyball? "><U>CLICK HERE</U></A> to learn more about Try-It-Outs).</div> <bR> <div> <B>When do we do demos?</B>  Whenever we are asked <I>and</I> we have enough dogs available to run, which is not always the case. Demos are typically outside, due to the amount of space needed, which pretty much limits them to the dry months. Exceptions to this rule are the demos you see at events at the Portland Expo Center, where there is plenty of room but rubber matting is required for safe running.</div> <bR> <div> <B>How do you request a demo?</B> Please email our <A HREF="mailto:demos@x-fidos.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:demos@x-fidos.org"><U>demo coordinator</U></A>. She can tell you what is needed for a safe and effective flyball demo, and will check with team members to see if we can participate in your event. </div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="730" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 579 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="48b2cfb0.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="251" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <IMG SRC="48c2c3f0.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="319" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="48aabe10.jpg" border=0 width="427" height="481" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
