The judges were Mr D Chudley(A1849) and Mr G Devine-Jones (A3180)and the dogs competed for The Bowlby Challenge Trophy and The Carlton Challenge Cup (Winner) and The Packwood Challenge Cup (Second Place)
Dodson & Horrell Limited through their "CHUDLEYS" product had once again most generously agreed to sponsor the prize money for all of the Society’s stakes and the dogs placed 1st to 3rdreceived a bag of "CHUDLEYS" dog food, the Bowlby Endowment for dogs placed 1st to 3rd, in addition all competitors received a “CHUDLEYS” goodie bag.
The day started in woodland with white grass, bramble and fallen trees. Birds came steadily as we moved through the woodland. The beat then moved through a field of white grass into more woodland which consisted of white grass and bracken. The bracken was quite high which made it difficult for dogs to mark retrieves. There was an extremely high standard of dogs with only 2 being lost throughout the day.
The results were as follows –
1st Simonside Doris of Laysan - B Watkins
