Where to Find Greater Milwaukee Brittany Club Event Details and Updates

Updated

The Greater Milwaukee Brittany Club (GMBC) posts its event details in three main places: the Event Page linked from its website, premium PDFs for specific trials, and its Facebook group for frequent updates. If you need to confirm a date, download an entry form, or ask a question directly, those three channels plus the club's contact email cover almost everything. The club's own calendar lists events through January 2027, so most of what you need is already published.

The three places to check, and what each one is best for

Source Best for What you'll find
Event Page (linked from the site) Full event information Details behind each calendar entry
Premium PDFs Entering a specific trial Entry documents such as the Fall Field Trial premium
Facebook group Frequent updates Changes, reminders, and announcements between events
Contact email Direct questions Answers from the club itself

The site notes that the Facebook page is updated "fairly often" and invites visitors to Join the group to receive updates. That makes Facebook the best source for last-minute changes, while the Event Page and premium PDFs are better for the official details you need to plan and enter.

The club publishes a full calendar on its homepage. The 2026 schedule runs as follows:

The homepage also highlights the GMBC Fall Field Trial on October 10–11, 2026 at Ottawa Dog Grounds in Eagle, WI, with a downloadable premium file named ottawa_2026_october_premium.pdf.

How to get the details you need

  1. Start with the Event Page. The calendar entry gives you the date and location; the Event Page link below the calendar is where the club points you for more information.
  2. Download the premium for the event you plan to attend. Premiums are the standard entry documents for field trials. The Fall Field Trial premium is posted directly on the homepage as a PDF.
  3. Check the Facebook group before you travel. Since the club updates it often, this is where you're most likely to catch a schedule change or weather-related note.
  4. Email the club if something is unclear. The site lists a contact address, which is the right route for questions the published documents don't answer.

What the club is, in one line

GMBC describes itself as celebrating its 59th year as a regional club of the American Brittany Club, with two stated goals: encouraging the highest standards in breeding, training, and exhibiting, and promoting cooperation and friendship among owners and breeders. It pursues those goals through field trials, hunt tests, conformation and obedience shows, training sessions, and social events — which is why the calendar mixes competitive events with training weekends and a banquet.

Common snags

  • The calendar and the Event Page are separate. A date on the calendar doesn't include entry requirements; follow the Event Page link for those.
  • Premiums are per-event. The posted ottawa_2026_october_premium.pdf covers the October walking field trial, not the other trials on the schedule.
  • Locations repeat but aren't identical. Bong and Ottawa host multiple events, so confirm the specific date rather than assuming the venue.
  • The site's copyright line reads 2021 even though the calendar extends into 2027 — treat the calendar and premium files as the current information, not the footer.

For anything not covered by the Event Page, the premium PDF, or the Facebook group, the club's contact email is the direct route.
