What a glorious day we had on fantastic ground and the sun shone.
Thanks go to the Healey Family for allowing us to use the Estate, many thanks also to Frank Croft, Head Keeper, Amy Willcock, Shoot Administrator and Keith Eastwood, Head Picker Up, for facilitating the use of the ground and identifying the areas for the tests.
We thank our Judges who gave up their day to enable the competitors to participate in our sport, Paula Cullis, Keith Eastwood, Rebecca Thistle and Amy Willcock. The tests set on this exceptional ground, with lots of distractions in the form of live game, were based on shoot day scenario’s, which tested the dogs and gave handlers a lot to think about.
The helpers/dummy throwers/placers, once again, our members came out in force, thanks go to: Tony, Stuart, Simon, Twigg, Lucy, Sam, Barbara, Sandra, Bill and Nick.
Hannah as always did an exceptional job, completing the pre test admin and making sure all officials were well looked after on the day.
Our sponsors, Skinners for providing vouchers for 1st – 3rd and Sporting Saint for gift bags for 1st to 4th, thank you for your continued support.
