PLAY GROUPS OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD Just a special notice about the Playgroups over the Xmas period – as the weather usually hots up we seem to cancel more of the playgroups than we have so the following details are relevant for this period. First Sunday of the Month Pampered Pooch Motel 2-4pm 660 Warton Road Banjup $5 per dog Playgroup Coordinator: David Burbidge 0419 854 652 ***January 1st will not be running but every first Sunday through December/January as per normal apart from temperatures above 33°C Second Sunday of the Month Shenton Park Dogs Refuge Home 3.30 - 5pm Lemnos Street Shenton Park $5 per dog Playgroup Coordinator: Belinda Gault 0424 440 508 ***Every second Sunday running as normal through December and January apart from days temperatures are over 33°C. Please ring co-ordinator to confirm*** Third Sunday of the Month Pampered Pooch Motel 2-4pm 660 Warton Road Banjup $5 per dog Playgroup Coordinators Kay Cooper 0418 918 127 ***No playgroups over December and January*** Fourth Sunday of the Month West Coast Pet Care Centre 10am -12pm 49 Adams Road Mariginiup $5 per dog Playgroup Coordinator Ron Hay 0420 963 766 *** No playgroups over December*** Greyhound Playgroup Heat Policy Given the recent spate of scorching temperatures it has made us develop a heat policy in relation to the playgroups. Obviously we’ve done this with the welfare of our greyhounds in mind as we don’t want to create any opportunity for developing heat stress in our dogs. Some information on Heat Stress can be found HERE and it details the RWWA Greyhound Heat Stress Policy. After consulting with the Greyhound Playgroup Coordinators it has been decided that if the temperature is expected to be over 33° C at the time of the playgroup it will not go ahead for that day. Anyone not sure is welcome to call the respective playgroup coordinator for that week for confirmation. Playgroup details and Coordinators phone numbers are listed on the home page of our website. We have purposely written “if the temperature is expected to be over 33° at the time of the playgroup” to ensure that we are able to apply the temperature equally to all playgroup venues. Had we used the “forecast” temperature’s we would be unfairly applying the Heat Policy to the West Coast Petcare Playgroup that operates in the earlier part of the day, from 10am – 12pm, which is more likely to have cooler temperatures at that time of the day. Playgroup attendees will need to use your own judgement and common sense to determine the temperature, or call the Playgroup Coordinators for confirmation.
