Special Event Agility Trials & Non Regular Classes 
(Effective January 1, 2015)
From AKC
We are excited to announce two new opportunities for clubs to be more creative with their agility trials. Both the Special Event Agility Trial and the addition of Non-Regular Classes that can be defined by the club we hope will give clubs a chance to make their trials a true event for exhibitors. 
If the club already has a trial application in we will allow the opportunity to amend the application. If the Premium List is already published there may not be an addition/change at this point. These new trials and classes may be run after January 1, 2015. If there are any questions on either of these two new opportunities please contact Carrie DeYoung at cxd2@akc.org
Insert for regulation changes can be found at: http://images.akc.org/pdf/rulebooks/REAGIL.pdf
