WASSA Events
We hold various events over the course of the racing season. Due to WASSA being a seasonal club the majority of the events will be held over the colder months of the year.
South Perth Demo Day
Sunday 21st March 2010
Approx 9am to 12pm
River end of Coode Street, South Perth
The club holds a Demo Day on the foreshore in South Perth. This is to show the general public what our sport entails and to educate them in activities they can participate in with their dogs. This is also a great way for the club to encourage new members as the Demo Day gets followed up by the beginner days for those interested.
Beginner Days
Sunday 28th March, Saturday 3rd April, Sunday 11th April 2010
Gnangara Training Ground at 4pm
Refer to Training section for exact Gnangara location
For the general public who are interested in Dog Sledding but want to have a go before incurring the cost of equipment then come on down. These days are put on by the club to give anybody and their dogs a go at our sport. Confirmed details will be posted closer to the date.
Dwellingup Training Camp
1st and 2nd May 2010
Location is Dwellingup Bunkhouses
This is a weekend in Dwellingup which WASSA runs to help both inexperienced and experienced Mushers to work with their dogs and improve them in various areas. Everything is provided by WASSA for the weekend but a fee does get charged to help cover some of the costs. Further details and attendance forms will be posted on the website closer to the date.
