Thank you to the Judges and all the helper`s, also to the Guns, who shot very well for the Spaniels. An exciting 3 dog run off between Simon Jones, Jeremy Davies, and Nicki Hunter, all the dogs hunted well, a difficult decision for the Judges. There were lots of pheasants to test the Spaniels steadiness on making a challenging Field Trial. Well done to all the competitors the ground was quite wet and boggy in place, so everyone did well to manage to stay upright! Much appreciation to Skinners Dog Food and Gamekeepers Goods for their generous sponsorship. Congratulation to Jeremy Davies who will be judging at the 2024 Cocker Championships.

Well done to all competitors, this was challenging Trial for the little Cockers. Heavy rain from the previous night and during the day made the birds reluctant to flush. The pheasants were tucking in tight, with the heavy rain making it difficult for the dogs to pick up the scent. Only 3 cockers finished with a run off between Paddy Williams and Jeremy Davies for 1st place. Well done Paddy and Ruby. Thank you to the Judges, Guns, and Helpers. Also, to Keeper Paul Marsh for welcoming the Club to the ground once again. Much is given appreciation to Skinners Dog Foods and Gamekeepers Goods for their continued Sponsorship.
