WORKING TEST PICTURE GALLERY 2014
The last local working test of the 2014 season took place on Sunday 27th July at Muggleswick Estate, Nr Consett.  This was the annual four local club competition (Golden Retriever Club of Northumbria, Burns and Becks Gundog Club, Northumberland and Durham and the hosts this year; Tyne Tees and Tweed FTA).  There was a great atmosphere  in stunning surroundings. Unfortunately N&D were unable to retain their winning title from last year; with Tyne Tees and Tweed Team taking the win by just three points.
