Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all.
Thank you to all for your fantastic contributions to this website over the past year. I've been delighted to watch the site continue to grow and include more of the Australian trialling community and visitors from overseas. I look forward to its continued growth in 2005.
Looks like we are in for a great year for retrieving dog work next year, with a full trial program across the country (including highlights like the Easter Extravaganza and the National in New South Wales) operating under the updated rules, which have been subject of the most comprehensive review since the inception of the sport in Australia. Over past days I have heard that there will be duck seasons in SA, Tassie and Victoria for those who choose to hunt over their dogs too. Personally I can't wait for 2005!
I look forward to seeing you at a trial or a wetland somewhere soon.
Cheers, Jason.
P.S. I might not get to the computer much in January as Kate is due to have our baby on the 13th. If you need help with using the site, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
