Working Test Entries Using the FTMS
Entries for our working tests can in future be made using the Field Trial Management System (FTMS). The cost to members who only want to do working tests and not field trials is a modest £5.50 and once on the system members have access to all of the tests run by the clubs they belong to thereby saving on postage costs. Once on the FTMS the whole process of entering a test and paying the entry fee is much simpler but it is emphasised that using the FTMS is not compulsory and that our Working Test Secretary will still be accepting paper entries as in the past.
