FEBRUARY TRAINING DAY – CHANGE OF VENUE

Here we go again, our first training day for the year is on Sunday 21 Feb.

Due to the lack of water at our usual training venue our first training day will be held at a new site only 10 mins from the Konagaderra Rd site.

Stay on the Melbourne to Lancefield Rd and turn left about 300 metres past Konagaderra Rd over the railway line and follow the WGAA signs.

Bring a camp chair and gumboots in case you need them.

Please note: There will not be a March training day on the 3^rd Sunday in March as it clashes with duck opening and the following weekend is Easter.

Normal training days will resume on the 3^rd Sunday in April.

New venue for WGAA training day Sunday 15th November

This month's WGAA training day is Sunday 15th November.

This month is our Water Test and Christmas Breakup.

As we'll be running a 'Water Test', we'll be moving to a different venue nearby that has a fantastic amount of water on it. Perfect duck hunting simulation.

Newcomers and beginners will still be catered for.

The address of the training venue is: Emu Creek Bridge, Konagaderra Rd, Clarkfield.

Head North West on the C743 through Bulla. Turn North onto the Melbourne-Lancefield Rd. Travel 13km then turn right onto Konagaderra Rd and it's about 1km along that road.

We will be meeting here at the bridge in Clarkefield and we'll depart in convoy to the Water Test venue at 8.30 am.

If anyone gets lost please ring Steve 0408 334 427

Also, as per previous years, brief meetings will be held to elect our sub discipline representatives (Retrieving, HPR, Pointer & Setter and Spaniel)

Memberships are now due.

Anyone with a gundog is welcome. Any queries please contact Kevin Phelps - 0407091221

Hope everyone enjoys the day!

Field Assessment Day - 27th September 2015

On a fantastic spring day WGAA Vic’s Field Assessment Day was held at the Daylesford property that has hosted the event for many years. This property is perfect for this family friendly event and many members camped overnight in order to help set up runs for the next day.

Special thanks to Wayne Phelps who is instrumental in organizing this day.

Each of the 25 dogs was given 3 runs – a land retrieve, a water retrieve and a field run.

The dogs were  scored in 5 categories in each run, categories that related closely to actual field work.

Certificates were awarded to all participants.
