2024 SMDTC Obedience and Rally Trials

Saturday, September 28, 2024

SPECIAL NOTICE: TRIAL LOCATION CHANGE
The location on the Cal State East Bay campus for the Fremont, San Mateo and San Lorenzo Trials on September 28-29, 2024, has been changed. The new lawn is on the Southwest corner of campus, in front of Meiklejon Hall (MI bldg. on map), and shaped like Idaho on its side.

There is plenty space for fully shaded crating under the MI bldg (~25 yds from corner of the lawn area), however you cannot see the rings from the crating area. There is a bathroom down around to the right as you look at that building as well as another bathroom upstairs and inside, to the left.

This new location has no shade over any portion of the lawn area. There is also another lawn just in front of MI that can be used for crating if you choose to bring your own EZ-up for shade and do not want to crate under the building on the cement. We ask that there be no crating on the lawn area we are using for the rings.
