14 dog A.V. ALL AGE Retriever Field Trial 23RD OCTOBER 2019 - EGGLESTON FELL, COUNTY DURHAM
Our final trial of the season (14 Dog All Aged Retriever Stake at Eggleston Fell,) was held on the superb ground provided by kind permission of Mr Stone's Estate and Head Keeper Mr Robert Beadle, which retained its reputation of an exceptional trialling ground.
Robert Beadle and his Estate guns were, as always lethally outstanding, providing us with a plentiful and varied selection of game in the sunny but chilly autumnal Durham countryside.
Many thanks go to our judges, Mr Glyn Coupar, Mr Thomas Bushby, Mr Jim Christon and
Mr Brian Dodsworth who ensured the trial ran smoothly and provided us with a fair result.
Sincere thanks to our team of helpers today who have carried game, carried our defibrillator, sorted the raffle and catered; and to those who have attended our trials this year to help out. We hope you enjoyed it and gained a lot of experience. Our volunteers came from committee and non-committee members, with special mention to Jeff and Julie Smart (including running the day today), who have worked tirelessly all season and provided such valuable help at every trial ably assisted today by Michelle, Becki, Yvonne and Malcolm. Thank you.
Skinner's Dog Food Vouchers were provided to award winners and their generosity for our working events is unstinting and always gratefully received.
Congratulations to:-
1st Place and Best Handler - Simon Capstick with Drakeshead Diva of Gunnerspeg.
2nd and Guns Choice - Paul Stogden with Routengill Apollo.
No other awards.
A very enjoyable relaxed trial, with a close result.
Our 2019 trials are now complete and we thank everyone for their continued support, ensuring our trials have been well attended and draws over-subscribed. We feel this is in no small part due to the exceptional grounds we are given permission to use and our thanks go to all landowners concerned and their game keeping teams.
However if we do not get more helpers at our trials (committee and members), these may have to be reduced as we cannot expect the same people year in year out to take such a slice from their works holiday leave to ensure the trials take place.
Club sincere thanks also go to Lee Hartis our Field Trial Secretary who has organised every trial, which takes up so much time including the countless phone calls and messages. Thank you Lee.
