RULES IN THIS NEW NORMAL

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ADHERE STRICTLY

When this Coronavirus hit, we were all shocked, and eager to find the answer to one question… “When can we resume life as we know it”? While we still do not have a clear answer to that question, we do know that there is a great desire to return to normal and do the things we enjoy, but we must still be careful.

It is in that spirit that the Peach Blossom Cluster Committee, supported by the Officers, Board and Members of the Atlanta Kennel Club, Inc., The Valdosta Kennel Club, Inc. and the Combined Specialty Clubs of Atlanta, have developed the following procedures and practices for our 2022 Cluster of Shows and Events. Everyone who attends the cluster for any event or in any capacity is covered by these “cluster rules” as stated below.

If you are sick, do not enter any of the buildings. Go home, and get well.
To protect our judges and stewards who must be in close contact with exhibitors and dogs, we require that exhibitors wear masks in the ring. It is up to the judge to let you know if you may lower or remove your mask when gaiting your dog.
The cluster will not provide for any seating around rings. Exhibitors can bring their chairs but should maintain social distancing between each other and from the rings. Household units are free to sit together. Chairs may be left in the buildings, if desired, at the risk of the owners.
When approaching the rings for showing, only the steward will have access to the ringside catalog and armbands and will look up your number, if necessary, and give you your armband. To facilitate this process, please know what armbands you need. Please maintain a reasonable distance from the table and the person in front of you when securing your armband.
Stewards and judges will wear masks (so train your dogs to expect a person in a mask) and judges will have hand sanitizer available between each examination.
Exhibits will line up outside the ring maintaining social distancing and exhibits will be called into the ring as each judge deems appropriate. The judge will direct you as to how to prepare your dog for exam. Follow the judge’s directions. When gaiting with other exhibits, maintain a distance between exhibits.
When attending events other than conformation or obedience, masks are encouraged. There may be additional rules specific to other venues.
Depending on State and CDC recommendations at the time of the Shows there may be limitations and or restrictions on the use of blow dryers in the Grooming Building.

The above rules are our attempt to have a fun event and yet still maintain a level of safety for all who attend. We will have committee members circulating to ensure that everyone understands the rules and to answer questions. We ask that you honor any request made of you. Thank You for coming to our show and we look forward to enjoying the Peach!

If CDC guidance changes, updated rules will be posted on peachblossomcluster.org and in the Judging Program.

Any person entering the premises waives all civil liability against this premises owner and operator for any injuries caused by the inherent risk associated with contracting COVID-19 at public gatherings, except for gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, reckless infliction of harm, or intentional infliction of harm, by the individual or entity of the premises.
