FT Sec. Report

The Three Ridings Labrador Club two day Open Field Trial held at Emblehope, Northumberland, on 23 and 24th September 2022, was a very enjoyable success. The club wishes to thank the following.

Our host, The Kennel Club and in particular Raymond and Anne Holt for their commitment 24/7 in the professional running of the estate, and the event.

Our sponsors Roger Skinners, Dog Food.

Those many club members who supported the event by entering and the final 24 who competed. Many travelled a long way to compete in “Big Sky Country” and found it true that – When it’s tough, the tough really do have to get going! You did so without complaint and with great sportsmanship.

Our Judges, Glyn Coupar, Godfrey Lowe, Jim Murphy and Paul Stogden. 

The ground, the high standard of dogs and handlers all required your full concentration, and you delivered. You were all great company during the trial and evenings.

The clubs working committee who pulled it all together and in particular Hannah Bramhall, Paul Deighton, Steve Cox and Mollie Lord who travelled north to help on the ground.

The Guns had never before shot on a Field Trial and were given a true Baptism of Fire, we could not have got a result without your commitment, determination, and a lot of lead!
