Volunteers are a very important part of our sport, and a few years back the Agility Committee started up a volunteer award scheme, to thank those members of the agility community who point countless hours of their own time into our sport.
Last year, Canterbury CATS put forward a nomination for a person that they thought deserved some recognition for all the work they put in so I think it's quite fitting that I get to present this award at this show.
On behalf of the Dogs New Zealand Agility Committee, it is my absolute pleasure to present this years' volunteer award to a very deserving Dot Mote:
Dot does so much for this club and also for agility as a whole.Dot helps run a kid's training class at club. Every year her and her family make and donate zillions of cheese rolls to Waimak and Cats to help raise money at their shows.
One of Dot's biggest talents is the ability to sit in a little tent all day long, putting up with Judges like me flapping my arms about the place and being able to decipher what I'm going on about.
Not only does she Scribe at a lot of the shows the family attend around this area, she has scribed at most of the DAC's in the last few years, including in the North Island.And just in case she doesn't already sound like Wonder Woman, while doing this, she is still able to achieve possibly the biggest task of all, and that is keeping Helen, Ian, the 2 kids and all those crazy dogs under control.
Dot is a true marvel, and we would like to say a HUGE thank you to you Dot for everything you have done, still do, and I am sure will continue to do for many years to come.

Thank you for your attention. I am here for a very important reason.
With us today is a very special person who has served our hobby well. Their involvement with the dog game began before agility was recognised.
This person was a pioneer, active in assisting the introduction of agility in New Zealand.
Today this discipline has grown to be really significant in NZKC sphere of activities.
This person has worked hard to better our sport both in planning, training, arranging displays and demonstrations, as well as competitions.
Having served as a show manager, judge and a Zone 4 representative this person has given so much, but even more has given many years as Secretary and Treasurer of Canterbury CATS. I think you may know who I am referring to when I mention that she was originally involved with the Weimaraner Club for many years before CATS started.
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of NZKC, I wish to acknowledge her enormous contribution to the sport of agility and I present this ‘CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION’ in recognition of her dedication over a long period of time to Barbara Rusbridge.
