note the Dogs ACT regulations in regards to the erection of these structures on
the ACT dog grounds. No structure or object used to reserve ground, is to be

fellow exhibitors that may be set up behind your area, in that you refrain from
putting up rear walls to allow clear view of proceeding to all exhibitor or
spectators.
