Thanks go to all the helpers: Sam and Maddy Martin, Alan Pointer, Paul Frapwell, Darren Broadrib, Sue Southwell, Mark Evans, Robin and Tom English, Ian Moon and Carl "spaniel-boy" Wilcox. Without these helpers, who invariably give so much more than they take, these events would not take place. Massive thanks to the all!

The Club ran its last Open AV Retriever GWT of the season yesterday at Kilverstone Estate, Thetford by kind permission of Lord and Lady Fisher.

This was a walked up open test in sugarbeet with canvas dummies and live shot run on Field Trial lines.

Our steward of the beat was Reg Rayner who as always sets a up a fantastic test and used the undulating terrain to great advantage to add to the challenge for the handlers and dogs. The weather was dry and sunny and throughout the day there was some exemplary handling and it was a joy to watch all the dogs works.
