🚩 Aelodaeth 2021
The Trustees have agreed (18.10.20) that the 2021 diary is likely to be produced in electronic form (.pdf) in order to help control costs if, as seems likely, some Covid-19 restrictions are still in place and it may not be possible to confirm dates. In this event (new) dates will be added to the website when they become available as normal.
Please note that if and when it is possible to reintroduce a printed diary these will only be posted to fully paid up members.
Your membership is important and contributes to the functioning of all the other aspects of the Society including running our trials, media platforms, results / advertising services and meeting our Charity Commission requirements.
Payment is due on the 1st January each year (£15 / £20 non UK) and should be made (standing order preferred) or sent to the Secretary as soon as possible please. Bank and postal details are on page 4 of the diary.
This will avoid any disappointment, administrative disruption and ensure you remain on the Society’s mailing list. Your support is very valuable and much appreciated.

👀 Trials: “a helping hand”
The Society is keen to try and help any Affiliated Trials who may be struggling to find enough committee members / helpers.
The Society is happy to use its media to help identify individual members who may be willing to help.
Please contact the Secretary if you would find this useful.

NWSDS Policy .pdf Website advertising
As other media is preventing the advertising of animals for sale, members may be considering using this site. This is possible for members only but will be kept under review e.g.
- this facility is exclusively for responsible sheepdog sales between members and associated ISDS members.
- the additional workload may mean limiting the number of adverts running at one time.
- NWSDS reserves the right to remove this facility or refuse to accept specific adverts at any time.
A .jpeg of your advert and a copy of any links e.g. 
is the best and easiest way to advertise.
Please also complete and email your completed booking form in order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
