We started this weekend not being able to cross a flooded bridge until lunch time Friday ,then Saturday was very pleasant & Sunday was showery all day with cloud cover making trialling pleasant but damp.(wet actually) Needless to say we had lots of water runs & good cover for land runs a judges delight.
In the sweepstakes we had 3 aspiring judges going for their Novice judges tickets. 2 judges looking to step up to Restricted & 1 judge to step up to All Age. giving the highest number of aspiring Judges in QLD at one time for many years, if ever.
It was good to see a scattering of new Novice dogs starting their 1st trials.
