Thankfully the sun remained mostly behind the clouds today and it started to rain just as I was leaving at 7pm. A good day with a happy atmosphere and some promising puppies coming on to watch in the future. Both Puppies and Novices travelled from all over the South of England to come to this test, and one intrepid visitor came from Finland. Lovely to see her. Enormous thanks to all the helpers today, mostly volunteers. You were much appreciated and applause was long and loud for you.
