DOG TEAM ROUNDS UP VEGAS VISITORS
Burnley-based PVCu sys-
tems supplier The VEKA UK
Group was barking up the right
tree when it sponsored production
planner Yvonne Gray’s Flyball
team, ‘WOW Wonderdogs’. The
team has gone from strength to
strength over recent years with the
company’s backing, and recently
held a successful seminar with
global guest stars.
Flyball is a fast-paced sport that
sees dogs race over hurdles to
reach a spring-loaded box which
releases a tennis ball that must be
brought back to the start. Teams
of four dogs race against each oth-
er in a relay and the first team to
have all dogs cross the finish line,
without error, wins the heat.
Yvonne’s son Dan and his wife
established the team in 2009. Dan
explains: “The VEKA UK Group
has been kind enough to sponsor
us for some years and this allows
us to buy new equipment and
develop systems to support the
club and the training of its dogs.
It enables us to keep on top of
the best and most current training
methods.
“We recently organised a semi-
nar where we invited the Flyball
World Record holders over from
Las Vegas - Touch N Go Flyball
Team. These are the best in the
business and offered some great
training tips that lots of teams are
sure to benefit from.
“The weekend after the sem-
inar we also broke the UK and
European record, making us the
number one fastest team ever in
the history of European racing. It
was actually our own record, but
we have now taken even more
time off it since December, getting
it down to 15.49 seconds and then
smashing that record once again
at 15.16 seconds.
“This was something that made
us all very proud, but was all the
more special as it was an achieve-
ment I had promised my step-
father Shane we would achieve,
before he sadly passed away last
July. Shane was a key part of the
team as well as being The VEKA
UK Group’s supply chain director,
and I know he would be pleased
to see the company continuing to
support our efforts.
“We strive to give back wherever
possible and we work with VEKA
to help support the company’s an-
nual chosen charities with raffles
at our events.”
