6 months ago we really didn't know whether there was any possibility of a summer celebration of flyball but we pressed ahead with planning and preparations anyway, knowing full well it could all of been in vain; but here we are, on the eve of the biggest flyball event in Europe this year, vaccines are rolling ahead, covid is in retreat, and the sun is out (occassionally!), and it is such an exciting feeling. It has been an amazing achievement from a small bunch of incredibly dedicated, hard working, and innovative people and I'm so proud to be working with them.

Another week of prep for the BFA Festivals done and these innovative events are really starting to take shape now. The availability of Flyball Foundations and non-sanctioned divisions gives every single member the opporutnity to take take part reagrdless of what stage on the recovery out of covid you are on; still a couple of days to get your entries in if you haven't already done so. Live entertainment, camping, fun activites and flyball from foundation to sub-15 racing, and all generously supported by our new sponsor Akela. 

With special thanks to Wicked, Funky Fidos, Carry Ons and all the competing teams, that's another weekend of amazingly well organised shows under our belt and another step on our return to flyball journey together; it really is starting to feel like we're finally getting somewhere. Under unusual circumstances and social distancing challenges, the strength and unity of our flyball community has shone through over the past couple of weekends and it's been a pleasure to be a part of it.

The return to 'normal' flyball has been delayed by a few weeks, 2 at least, and probably until 19 July. On the positive side though Tournament Organisers and the Committee have been looking at how flyball activities can be adapted whilst still complying with social distancing so if we all appply some common sense and look after each other we can still take another step forward in getting back to the sport we love.

First and foremost, we would like to thank all those members who attended the EGM.
The minutes of the meeting will be published, once they have been received and signed off by the independent chair.
Whilst some very evocative and contentious issues have been engulfing the BFA of late, we now need to try and draw a line under the events of Sunday and focus on moving the BFA forward.
We therefore ask that anymore constructive comments regarding the EGM are now emailed to the EGM email address bfa.egm@gmail.com
