MSDA’s Annual Field Day — a FUN day of field work for beginner bird dogs — will be Saturday September 13 at Rebel Ridge Farms in Elkton, MD. This is the registration page. Use the buttons above to learn more about Field Day in general and about specific plans for 2025.
How to sign up:
Registration for Field Day is online only using the form at the bottom of this page. Please review the Field Day information, activity descriptions and the options before signing up.
You must pre-register. Field Day does not accommodate on-site registration. Online payment in full is required to complete your registration.
Everyone (handlers, trainers, gunners, guests, adults, kids) is required to provide a signed MSDA liability release. Most of you have already signed this with your membership application or when attending another MSDA activity. (Remember – you don’t need to be a club member to attend Field Day.) If we have your form on file, you do not need to sign again. If not, please download it and/or we’ll email it after you register. They’ll also be available at the clubhouse when you check in.
Owners and handlers are reminded that they are responsible for their own dog’s actions and that good sportsmanship is expected at all times. If dogs (or humans!) exhibit inappropriate behavior or aggression, you will be directed to leave Field Day immediately and may be excluded from future MSDA activities. Such decisions are made by the event chairs and committee members.
Field Day committee members review registrations as they come in and will follow up if there are any questions.
Changes, Cancellations and Refunds:
If you need to change or cancel your registration, contact the Field Days Co-Chair, Pamela DeSmidt, at Pamela@mdsportingdog.org . You may cancel for any reason through Sunday, September 7 and receive a full refund, with the following exceptions:
- The $15 registration fee is not refundable
- T-shirt orders are only refundable if canceled by Wednesday, August 27.
There will be no refunds of any kind after September 7th.
Once you have submitted the form, an actual human will review it and then send your detailed confirmation. This will not arrive immediately. You also will receive an emailed payment confirmation directly from PayPal.
If you don’t receive your detailed confirmation email as expected (check your spam/junk folder!) or experience problems filling out the registration form or making your payment, please contact the Field Days Co-Chair, Pamela DeSmidt, at Pamela@mdsportingdog.org.
