2020 World Sheepdog Trials 17th to 20th September

World Trial Update regarding Covid-19, Coronavirus

Due to concerns regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the World Health Organisation, and other health authorities we are currently considering our course of action regarding the 2020 World Trial in September.

We ask that when booking accommodation and flights that you do so with careful consideration as we could be forced in the coming weeks to make the decision to postpone the trial. We will continue to monitor the situation and the advice from Official sources.

We appreciate your understanding and will update this message when there is further information. (Posted 9th March 2020)
