NOVICE AWARD WINNERS
United Retriever Club Border Counties and Cotswold held their Novice and Open working tests at the Eyford Estate by kind permission of Mr Rupert Prest. The Open competition was also the Club’s qualifying test for the URC Area Finals.
Many thanks to our judges: Ms Helen Goodwin, Mrs Laurie Pittaway, Mrs Nicola Rudgard and Mr Phil Bruton. Grateful thanks must go to our many willing helpers on the day who made it such a fun and successful day.
