The TGTA’s first Retrieving Trial for the year was held in sub artic conditions on “Chester” over the June 2 & 3 weekend. The conditions for the judges were especially tricky having set Runs on Friday only to find on Saturday the water level had dropped by 3-4 metres and by a similar amount on Sunday. The Club enjoyed its biggest fields for some time thanks to a number of competitors coming from “overseas”!
