2026 Old Dog Womble

The Labrador Club walks are fun but some of the oldies can’t manage the full distance, so this womble 

is for those Labs that are happier having a mooch around the paddocks with lots of good smells without 

having to keep up with the boisterous young ones. We are restricting the womble for Labradors aged 

10 years +, or those that are compromised and can’t do a full Labrador Walk. 


Paddocks are fenced and dogs can be let off lead. Most paddocks are relatively flat with a little up and 

down. Humans, please wear sensible footwear/gumboots and bring a dog(s) a towel for a rub down 

afterwards. 


After the walk Mike Gething (retired vet) will answer your questions and provide useful information 

on caring for your Labrador in his/her latter years.  

 

You are invited back to the house afterwards for coffee/tea whilst your dogs can remain off lead in the 

confines of the dog proof section surrounding Mike and Pat’s home.   


Directions: Griggs Road is off the main Whitford Highway (on your right about 7.5 km from Botany 

Town Centre).  After you turn into Griggs Road travel down the new road through the trees at the 

turnaround – approximately .5km from the main highway.  Please Park on the road and walk through 

the pedestrian gate.  Please keep your dogs on the lead until everyone has arrived. 


**Numbers are limited to 10 – so please book your spot early! ** 

RSVP – contact: Mary Waugh (Secretary) mwaugh1@gmail.com or 0272927483 evenings only as
