Gundog Club of WA trials on 18th & 19th July 2020

Postby Marilyn Dawson » Mon 20 Jul 2020 6:56 pm

The Gundog Club of WA celebrated 75 years with a weekend of Retrieving trials on 18 & 19 July 2020. Due to current travel restrictions we were unable to proceed with the interstate judge originally contracted, and we would like to express our gratitude to Catherine Thorburn and Allan Bartram for accepting invitations to judge and Chief Steward at short notice.

The club would particularly like to thank the Laurin family for allowing access to their beautiful property. Thank you also to all those who contributed to the trophy table for the weekend including Blackboy kennels, Marilyn Dawson, Colin & Maggie Hankinson and Ray & June Johnson.

The assistance of all those who came along specifically to steward and everyone who offered help on the day was greatly appreciated. Particular mention goes to Marilyn Dawson who braved two rather chilly, but thankfully not too wet days out in the field taking photos.

Special thanks to catering team extraordinaire, Sandra, Kelly and Bryan (SKaBs Kitchen) for their continued support and the amazing menus they manage to deliver at trial sites, with additional sweet treats from Lisa this weekend.

We were delighted to welcome some new competitors and spectators as well as a number people we haven't seen at trials for quite a while, in particular our Patron and former Retrieving judge, Mrs Barbara Kempin.
