EVENING TRAINING SESSIONS.
Our training schedule is aimed at giving a varied but progressive training base for all ages and abilities.
The evening sessions are divided between two wonderfully accomodating grounds, Bloxworth, on the West of our area by kind permission of Lisa McDonald-Smith, and Avon Tyrrell Estate, more to the East, by kind permission of Lord Manners.
These sessions begin at Bloxworth and will be held on Monday evenings fortnightly for four sessions before moving to Avon Tyrell for a further five sessions, ending on July 27th with our annual end of season BBQ and presentation of The Sportsmans Trophy for the most progressed dog/handler.
