W.A.' s FIRST RATG TRIAL - Retrieving Club W.A. 25th March
Posted: Sun 25 Mar 2012 8:07 pm
The Retrieving Club bit the bullet and decided to hold the first RATG in the state today, March 25th. Regular Retrieving Training classes for puppies and young dogs was held early morning at Kingsmeadow in Guildford, and vetting for the tests took place at 9.30 am. The whole event ran very smoothly and a group of people stayed at the site to spectate the new format for this event. It was encouraging to see new handlers with their dogs entering Novice and having a great time, regardless of the outcome. Running the trial was a combined effort with thanks to Jenni Lodge (club secretary and vetting officer), Zoe Slights (Treasurer and entry co-ordinator and result card organiser), Maggie Hankinson (judge), Allan Bartram (chief Steward) and Ray Penman and Terry Little (Field stewards). I hope I haven't left anyone out, but a big thankyou to all involved.
