ANRTC W.A. TRIAL RESULTS 2nd & 3rd June

[Kerry Webster]

The ANRTC held a weekend of trials over the long weekend in W.A. at Cocking's farm's at Mogumber, 130 km north of Perth. It is a very picturesque area and the choice of two farms for picking runs, provides a great variety for judges. The Saturday had Restricted and All Age stakes running and Sunday had Novice and All Age. A great job of Chief Stewarding over the weekend, was done by Catherine Thorburn, Colin Hankinson, and Ray Johnson, and all competitors helped during the weekend. Mark Jackson, a new handler learning the tricks with his working cocker, came to help in the field on Sunday which was most appreciated. Also thank you to Allan Bartram for stepping in to judge AA on Saturday, when Richard was unable to because of surgery. To all who judged, stewarded, brought gear and birds and did the behind the scenes work, a big thank you from all.
