It was great to see both entered Slovaks in the prizes this year - special congratulations to you both. However, our top scoring Slovak this year by just half a point was Bonnie Vom Schweinsgrabschen at Calderbrook - handled by Stuart Greenwood. This was Stuart's first working test so it was lovely to see him and Bonnie enjoying their day.

​

AK Gundog Accessories very generously sponsored our 1st place prizes, with Sporting Saint sponsoring gift bags for 2nd to 5th place. For our 20th anniversary year, for the first time our raffle prizes were also sponsored - by Gamekeepers Goods, Dog & Field, Test Valley Lanyards, Trevor Mottram at the Pantiles, Raw Pet Foods Ltd and Achouffe Gundogs, with additional prizes very kindly donated on the day. Thank you to our very kind sponsors - your support is greatly appreciated.

Good luck to everyone for the rest of the working test season!
