Shropshire Gundog
Society - Novice A.V. Spaniel Field Trial
17th January 2008
Sundorne Estate, Shropshire
| The Shropshire
Gundogs Novice A.V. Spaniel Field Trial was held on
Thursday 17th January at Sundorne Estate in
Shropshire. The day started off with dark clouds that
threatened heavy rain but luckily when we entered the
estate they cleared and weather stayed nice till the run
of the last few dogs when hail and heavy rain descended.
All dogs worked well and each was able to have a flush
and retrieve due to the good shooting of the guns. And
in the end it was a close decision for who got first and
second place which concluded in a run off between Keltic
Firecracker (Mr C. Lewis, Pictured right) and Merlin
Hill Gemini (Mr K Jones) with Keltic Firecracker just
taking the win. |

The Shropshire Gundog
Society would like to thank all the competitors for entering and
the judges (Mr ThurstonWoolnough and Mr Roberts) for making the
hard decision and choosing the winners.
Also the club and all
the competitors would like to thank Mr Vic Randle for being the
Steward of the Beat and his wife Chris for their hospitality on
the day.
Plus a huge thank you to
Mr J. De quincey for his kind invitation letting the club use
his land to run the trial on. The land was more than outstanding
to run the dogs in and competitors even said they wished they
could train their dogs on it.
And finally everyone who
attended the event would like to thank Mr Martyn Zielinski who
is the clubs Field Trial Secretary and the days Chief Steward
for organising everything and making the day immensely
successful and enjoyable for everyone.
