The club would like to thank Mr Julian Fenton and Head Keeper Mr Andrew Richards for allowing the club to hold its third Working Test of 2023 at Studley Royal, nr Ripon. The day started very damp, but soon brightened up and everyone stayed dry.

The club held it’s second Working Test of 2023 at Skipster Hagg, nr Kirkbymoorside on Sunday 16 April by kind permission of Mrs Anne Procope. Anne as always was an exceptional host, parking was challenging due to wet conditions and even though we left a very chewed up field Anne’s response was “it will be fine, the grass will grow” Thank you to the judges, Phil Smithies, Mark Wilson, Eden Parish and Becki Thistle, who set some great tests on the interesting ground.

Yesterday the club held its first Working Test of 2023, we had to postpone in March due to the snow and the weather wasn’t much kinder to us yesterday. The Judges, Competitors and dummy throwers braved the cold and wet to have a thoroughly good day.
