Do Junior handlers have to be members ?

We received this question from a trial organiser recently and thought it would be worthwhile to share with everyone.
The answer is: Yes. If it is a trial affiliated with NSW Yard Dogs then ALL competitors must be financial, whether it is a yearly membership or a day membership.
This is important for insurance purposes.


NSWYDA, VYUFDA & SAYDA
Reciprocal Membership

The VYUFDA, NSWYDA and SAYDA have agreed to offer each other’s members reciprocal membership without charging a subscription.

The conditions are:


1. NSW members wishing to compete in Victoria still need to apply for Interstate membership and be issued with a competition number;


2. Victorian members wishing to compete in NSW still need to apply for Temporary membership and have such applications accepted;


3. This applies to full fee-paying competition members only;


4. There is no guarantee of acceptance in either State and each State reserves the right to reject an application without giving reasons;


5. Anyone found to have misrepresented their status, [for example: not living within the “home” State or not being a current financial member, or being under suspension etc], will have their membership revoked and be subject to further disciplinary sanctions.

6. For SAYDA you will not be required to fill in anymore forms when entering trials in SA as when you sign your entry form you agree to abide by the rules are code of conduct of the SAYDA. 
You also sign that your dog/dogs have entered the competition at your own risk and the convenors of their representatives accept no responsibility for any risk or injury however caused.


Queries should be directed to your “Home” State.
