Open Annual Working Test
We held our Open Annual Working Test at Hendre Llwyn y Maen Farm by kind invitation of Mr Robin Crossley.
Thank you to our sponsors CSJ and Sporting Saint who provided prizes for all our winners.
Thank you to our judges Mrs Glenys Caldwell, Mr P Smithies, and Mrs Thelma Draisey and a big thank you to all that came and helped as without you the tests would not be possible.
The weather was more refreshing that what it would have been last Sunday when we originally planned holding the test, the rain held off any big downpours till we were on our way home and we were lucky in that we only had a few light showers on and off through the day.
All competitors completed five tests with some challenging retrieves both on land and water.
Well done to all in the awards and the results are;
1st & winner of The Mary Roberts Trophy. Gary Collier with Hawksgarth Maddison 94/100
2nd Vicki Stanley with Craigmaddie Nevis 93/100
3rd Gill Awty with Artistryn Bingo at Maddison 92/100
