ACTIVITIES 2022
Dear Member,
I hope you are keeping well. 2021 has been an unusual year worldwide and unfortunately we were unable to hold some of the events we had planned. However, four training days and one Safari Working Test were able to take place and we wish to thank everybody who supported us and in particular, the judges at the Safari Working Test; the trainers at the training days and to all who helped organising the training days and Safari Working Test.
All being well and Covid-19 not interfering with our plans, this letter is to inform you of suggested/proposed dates for United Retriever Club (Northern Area) events for 2022. Providing things are able to proceed, a further letter with entry forms, etc., will be sent to you, early in 2022.
