EASTER ALL AGE TRIALS IN W.A.

[Kerry Webster]

Our traditional Easter trials at Arthur River, were held in the most glorious weather. After some March rain, the paddock were green and the water was clean and abundant. On Saturday night we had a get together round the campfire where there was a BBQ and everyone contributed with salads and sweets. It was a very enjoyable night and hopefully one that will be repeated often.

On Saturday, the Retrieving Club held the Peter Reekie Memorial Stake, with three runs over various terrain. The results are:
