The Committee meetings are held via 'Zoom' on the third Thursday evening of the month (usually at 7.30pm) and all financial members are welcome to attend these meetings. If you have any queues or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact any of the committee members.
The AGM is held in latter part of each year and we encourage members to consider joining the committee to enrich our club with their expertise, experience and enthusiasm. It is also an opportunity to get to know club members better and to help build a stronger dog friendly community.

Mel Lobo,
Mel Lobo has been a life member of KODTC for many years. He can be found every Sunday mornings that the club is operating, setting up the pavillion and grounds for our training sessions. Mel is 'priceless' as far as the club is concerned. We greatly appreciate his support and help every week. Here he is pictured puppy- minding for a member on the steps outside the club during training.
