1. Delete the word “not” in section 3

Rationale for above change:

To allow all Obedience, Rally and ET trialling members to be recognised for any qualifications awarded at interstate competitions making a more consistent and equal criterion for all disciplines within the club.

2. Add in “from Dogs SA” in section 5

The title has to be assessed by Dogs SA to ensure all qualifications and information are correct and sufficient for Dogs SA to approve the title and be happy to forward it to the ANKC for a certificate to be issued.

This issue has been highlighted by Dogs SA to the club

3. Add in “RAE” in Club Award page 2

This title was inadvertently omitted when titles were updated.
