I noticed in the South Australian page that the Gundog Club is having a weekend incorporating a training/fun day, then a trial the following day.
I thought, what a great idea ! A get together weekend encouraging people who may be interested in retrieving to get away, do heaps, or a little, training with other enthusuasts, exchange ideas, have fun, then compete the following day.
Good onya S.A. for thinking up such a concept. Hope it gets you plenty of new recruits.
Maybe the idea will filter through to others ???
