Sunday 17
th of November saw the finish of what
has been a very busy second half of the year for Working Gundogs with a
training day and Christmas breakup. Since late June two retrieving trials, a
field trial, the inaugural Non-Indigenous Game Bird trials, the AGM, training
days and of course the Shot Expo (4 shows put on over two days) have been held.
All of these events have meant planning, meetings, unpacking and then
re-packing equipment, endless phone calling, texting and meetings. A big thankyou
to everyone who was in some way involved in any or all of this programme.
Sunday’s event saw some 50 plus members turn up for a
relaxing training day and pre-Christmas lunch in a picture-perfect venue at
Riddells Creek. Training took something of a back seat to sitting around after
morning tea and cake. Chatting and relaxing were the order of the day while
being entertained by the dogs retrieving off the jetty! The free lunch was in
itself a triumph, with head cook Jamie Stellini pulling out all stops with a
splendid BBQ, along with many and varied salads topped off by a delicious
dessert. The monster raffle was generously supported by members and the money
raised will go towards more training equipment.
To all our members, have a safe and happy Christmas.
