A fantastic day, we were very lucky with the weather, the sun was out with a gentle breeze. Novice and Puppy Tests ran in the morning, the Open Test ran in the afternoon. The ground offered good cover for the spaniels, with bracken, rhododendrons, and light bramble.

A big thank you to our sponsors: Skinners, Gamekeepers Goods and Lindsey’s Leather Lanyards & Leads, for your generous support of our events.

Thank you to our Judges, Committee members and to all our invaluable helpers for giving up your day, with you these days just could not happen. Thank you to Lindsey for taking such great photos throughout the day.

It was great to see so many smiley faces enjoying the day, that is what it is all about!
