OPEN & NOVICE WORKING TEST - WARTER PRIORY

4TH JUNE 2023

Yesterday the club held its fourth Working Test of 2023 on the magnificent grounds of Warter Priory Estate by kind invitation of the Healey Family and Head Keeper Frank Croft.

Thanks go to the judges Godfrey Lowe, Keith Eastwood, Amy Willcox, and Andrew Curtis, who set some challenging tests in the valleys that ended in the appropriately named paradise.

It was fantastic to have a lot of helpers, who’s presence ensured dummies and competitors were in the right place at the right time, making things run smoothly, so a big thank you to them.

Whilst thanking those involved, Hannah Bramhall should not be forgotten, without her hard work, sorting the entries and schedules for the day none of the clubs Working Tests could run.

The competitions started with Amy Willcox welcoming the club to the ground on behalf of the Healey Family and Frank Croft. The Open Test ran through the morning with the Novice Test in the afternoon, competitors all complimented the ground and the variety of tests which produced the following results:
