The weather was appalling and got steadily worse during the day. A big thank you to our Judges, Dummy throwers and Stewards who remarkably were still smiling at the end of the day! This was a new ground and our Hosts’, Clifford and Rosie Frost, were the epitomy of hospitality both during many visits beforehand to set up the tests and today – thank you.
AV Retriever Open and Veteran on 24.4.16
Combe Davey, Taunton, Somerset
Judges: Ken Green (B3366), Mrs Jane Mann (NP3433) and Mrs Isobel Whitford
One can plan for most things but not a group of motorcyclists followed not long after by a string of polo ponies, accompanied by various dogs, going through the middle of a test! Needless to say this held up proceedings quite significantly so a big thank you to the Judges, Helpers and the competitors for their forebearance with what turned out to be a very long day. Many congratulations to the handlers and dogs below:
