~ VGC Retrieving Trial Results 24th & 25th February 2024 ~

It was a privilege to run our trial at Bob and Di Cameron’s beautiful property. Thank you for allowing us access.

Thanks to our retrieving sub-committee – Jeanne R, Jackie P, Dianne V, Frank M, Bronwyn M and Alan H – who have done a fabulous job organising lunches, prizes and game. Craig D also jumped in to help Al with the game which was very much appreciated. These trials only happen because of you!

As always, we are very grateful to our judges for giving up the opportunity to run their own dogs and a huge shout out to Greg Playdon for jumping in to judge Saturday’s All Age at the last minute.
