Membership Membership in the Tidewater Tracking Club is open to all persons eighteen years of age and older who are in good standing with the American Kennel Club, and who subscribe to the purposes of the Club. While membership is not restricted as to residence, the Club's primary purpose is to serve breeders and exhibitors within the Hampton Roads (Virginia) area.
Membership dues are $35.00 annually, and are payable on or before the first day of September of each year. Applicants for membership shall apply on a FORM approved by the TTCVA Board of Directors, and which shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by the Constitution and By-Laws of the Tidewater Tracking Club of Virginia, and the rules of the American Kennel Club.
Meetings are held every other month on a Sunday. Meetings begin at 7pm. We alternate between the Peninsula and the Southside of Hampton Roads, and meet at the homes of members or other locations. Please contact Joannafor meeting times and locations, as well as for membership information.
Tracking Practice Generally, informal practices for members are held in the cooler months of autumn, winter, and early spring on the weekends. We usually meet in the historic Yorktown Battlefields, although it is not uncommon for members to meet up and track in varying locations for different experiences. We are very fortunate to have a wealth of expertise within our club, and experienced members are always willing to help people who are just beginning the sport. Be prepared for any and all kinds of weather - as the long as it is safely possible to enter the field, dogs are able to track - and we do! Practices typically last around 3 hours (sometimes longer, especially with more advanced dogs), and is usually followed by group members heading to a local restaurant for lunch and camaraderie. Practice is free for members, however, it will be necessary to purchase a Yorktown Battlefield membership card. Parking permits are provided as part of TTCVA membership.
