AN ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID TRIAL WITH SPRING LIKE WEATHER, A GREAT CARD, PRIVILIGED SURROUNDINGS AND AN EXCELLENT RESULT.

JOHN STUBBS AS EVER GIVING HIS ALL TO MAKE SURE WE HAD A GOOD TWO DAYS. COMPETITORS STRUGGLING TO SEE THEIR DOGS IN WAIST HIGH BRACKEN AT TIMES GAVE ALL CONCERNED A TESTING BUT MOST ENJOYABLE TRIAL.

JUDGES, JOHN GREEVES, JOHN BIRKETT, ARLENE WHITE AND GILLY NICKOLS WERE IN GREAT FORM AND SUE CHAPMAN MAKING HER DEBUT AS DOG STEWARD DID A STERLING JOB.
