2008  CLUB  OBEDIENCE  TRIAL  REPORT

 

The day was bright and sunny and though it was cold in the morning, there was no wind and best of all it did not rain.  Obviously the cold did not deter many triallers as most exhibiters turned up.  And the usual airplane noise as they flew low overhead drowned out words from time to time.  Being located beneath a flight path has its disadvantages.

 

I wish to thank sincerely everyone who pitched in and helped either before or during the trial.  There are so many volunteers that I couldn’t name them all but I would like to mention some in particular  -    The Stewards:  John Gryniewicz; Ritchie and Anne Butler; Julie Cutts, John Douglas and Loraine Frawley;  the Dogs NSW Representative  Peg Hayman –    Vetting Officer – Trish Pope;  Catering – Julie Rebbeck and her daughter, Jenny, and Julie's mother.  Not to forget our judges, Terry, Jacqui and Jake.
