Assessment day 2023
The assessment day this year was a great success with around fifty entries of spaniels and retrievers.
Our thanks as always go to the independent trainers who give up their time on the day to assess our efforts on the field. More than this they are prepared to impart their knowledge to help us on.

Awayday at Tarrant Hinton Feb 2023
Great fun was had by all at this event and from the feedback we have received it was a very successful day. Our dogs usually benefit greatly from these day outs getting the opportunity to try out new exiting skills and both they and their handlers learn a lot.
Our thanks go to Marc and Julie for running the day and Sarah and Jill for organizing the venue. A few pictures follow for which we thank Carl.
Bog Farm Away Day 7th October.
Once again our thanks to Julie for the use of her farm to hold an Away Day.
Nearly 40 members attended and I hope all had fun. The classes this time combined Retrievers and Spaniels in the various abilities and it was nice to have a chat and a laugh with the people we don't often meet.
Some of the exercises were quite challenging but I think we were surprised how well the dogs coped, and it taught the handlers a lot as well, 'trust your dog'.
Many thanks also to Julie for providing copious sausage rolls and a little 'pick u up' at lunchtime.
Those of you who couldn't make it missed a good day. Hope to see you next time.
