~ VGC Retrieving Trial Results Saturday 30th September 2023 ~
Thank you to the Golden Club for ensuring our access to this lovely property once again. We are grateful to the owners for sharing it with us. Without such generosity, we cannot hope to put on a Retrieving Trial.
Many thanks to Noel Eltringham for organising the game and David Roberts for picking it up. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers – Jackie P, Frank M, Jeanne R, Judy J, Bronwyn, M, Deb and Colin C. – this trial could not happen without you.
Thank you to our judges – Paula, Byron and Barry - for giving up the opportunity to run their own dogs.
