Penang Event: Dog Agility Competition 2008

Dear readers,

The Persatuan Agiliti Anjing (PAA) is organizing the Dog Agility Competition 2008 on this coming weekend at Silver Jubilee Home, Sungai Dua, Penang. This is the first event held by the association in 2008.

Date/Time:

5th January, 2008- 2pm to 8pm

6th January, 2008- 9am to 2pm

Venue: Sliver Jubilee Hall- Badminton court, Sungai Dua. Here is the map

There are 21 dogs for agility and 19 dogs for obedience. 50% of the dogs are from KL and Ipoh.This is the biggest entry so far for PAA.

For those wishing to join a Dog Fancy Dress show, they can bring their dogs to sign up at 12 noon on 6th January. Entry fee is RM10 per dog. Judging of the Fancy dress show is at 1.30pm

Frankly, I don't know much about the Dog Agility Sport until this post. If you are not familiar with this sport or you have not even heard about the sports and would like to know more, here are some explanation to help to understand more about the sports which quoted from the PAA web.

On the above figure is an agility course consisting of an A-frame followed by a tunnel, a tyre jump, a see-saw, a dog walk, a winged jump and weaving poles. The handler and his dog work as a team. The dog is required to climb up the A-frame, run through the tunnel, jump through the tyre jump, walk on the see-saw, walk on the dog-walk, jump over the winged jump and weave in and out of the weaving poles. What will the handler do in the meantime? The handler has to command the dog using his voice and body language to negotiate the obstacles in the correct manner.

The game is such- the team who clears the obstacles with NO faults and the fastest to reach the finishing line wins.

In this example, the course is a simple one. The agility course increase in complexity from Basic Jumpers->Elementary->Novice->Open levels. Total number of obstacles are from a minimum of 16 to a maximum of 20 obstacles. Below is an example of a Novice Course. ... quoted from PAA web

Penang Event: Chingay Competition 2007

Dear readers,

You might had wonder what is 'Chingay'? I manage to look for some information about the sport online and here you are. It is a performance of giant flag balancing.

In Chinese dialect Hokkien "Chin Yi" or "Chin Gay" which means real art or true art.

This real art or true art is skillfully displayed by using the flag pole (Bamboo pole) and the flag pole ranges from 25 ft to 32 ft, the length of the flag is around 25ft, made from silk and the total weight of these materials is around 60 pounds.

The Chingay Procession were started about 100 years ago with 1st parade in 1919 in "Penang"....

The "Chingay" is a spectacular procession. The Bamboo pole carried perpendicularly by a steward bearer or performers with half-a-dozen others taking turn. The steward bearer/performers will normally balance huge poles with enormous triangular flags, on their forehands,chin,lower jaws and shoulders.

.........quoted from squidoo sports.

This competition is organized by Penang State Chingay Council prior to the annual parade that taken place 2 days later. This competition is held at City Hall, Penang as an annual event at Penang.

Date: 23th December 2007
Time: n/a
Venue: City Hall, Penang

For more information please contact En Bong Kui Chin (012-4319799)

The competition is to to select the six best teams to represent Malaysia at various events worldwide. Participants will try their best to show their skills to the judges in order to win the competition. They will try to show different and complicated stunt on balancing the giant flag during the competition. Those action might not be seen during the parade. It is going to be an exciting event.

Can you imagine how the participants can hold 60 pounds of flag using their jaws? Passing the flag around using their shoulder and fore head? Can you imagine that?

This is an annual event, which mean if you miss it, you need to wait until next year. 365 days to wait for it. So if you never seen that before or wanted to experience how exciting the event is, come and join us for the event.

See you there..... and please do ensure bring your camera with battery fully charge. You're going to love it......
