NSW/ACT restricted trials

[Julie Cramond]

I am planning on a few NSW/ACT trips, this year.

By quickly looking at the schedules interstate, there seems to be a few restricted sweepstakes on day and the next, restricted.

Could someone inform me of the dates when there are two restricted stakes, on one weekend, in NSW/ACT?

Thankyou.

Hi Julie

The Working Gundog Club of NSW has adopted a policy of running an official restricted stake (and allowing titled dogs to run as non-competing), unless there is less than the mandatory 4 dogs and 4 handlers, in which case restricted will run restricted as a sweepstake. This means that you have a good chance of two restricteds in a weekend on 12-13 June and 21-22 August.

The ACT Gundog Society (and I think the NSW Lab Club and Gundog Society) will run weekends with one official restricted and one sweepstake.

We look forward to seeing you up this way soon!

Cheers, Jason.

Thanks Jason.

At least by my attendence there will be four extra dogs, but only one mad handler, me.

Hoping TP still wants to come too.

Another thought. I'd have to check with the other members of the ACT committee, but if we knew you and Teresa were coming it may be possible to upgrade a sweepstake on teh ACt weekends to a official trial. An extra 2 handlers and 5 or 6 dogs (depending on whether TP runs Phoenix) can make a big difference.

Not sure how the Lab Club and Gundog Society are placed in this regard. Flo Tidswell is the trial secretary for both clubs. You can contact her on 02 9773 6089.

Cheers, Jason.

Hi Julie.

Yes, I'd still be very interested in going to either or both those weekends. We can talk about it some more further down the track but certainly pencil me in.

Jason, at this stage I would only be taking Jock so you could count on 5 entries from Julie and me.
