A great day out and a big well done to all in the awards.  Thank you to Geoff Spencer for generously hosting our Annual Spring Working Test run under K.C. Regulations.

Also to our wonderful Judges who give so much of their time in support of these days.

Much appreciation to Ian Stevens and Simon Hudson for their hard work in organising the day. The Novice Class proved to be very popular with entries.  Many thanks to all who helped with the Test, well done Team D.W.S.C.
