​Remember -   Working tests cannot go ahead without volunteers to help with dummy throwing and placing. 
It is a great chance to see the dogs working up close and see how tests run. 
Please offer your assistance, or bring a friend to help out, as committee members can only do so much.
​

We also hold a raffle at every test day to help subsidise out events, so any help with donations are gratefully received.

We cannot thank our landowner hosts enough for their superb generosity in allowing us access to their stunning estates and homes.
