All 2010 Spaniel and Retriever Working Tests Generously Sponsored
by Ian and Clare Harford of Countryman Fairs.
Ian and Clare very kindly presented the Top Three Handlers in Novice and Puppy with an engraved glass
and the Winners received tickets for the Midland Game Fair at Weston Park in September.

It's always nice to be invited to a new ground to hold a Working Test and this one
is ideal with young plantations and woodland walks giving lots of scope to set
up interesting Tests. Re-claimed ground from South Derbyshire's open-cast mining years
has been wonderfully restored to it's former glory and we are extremely grateful to
Rob and Maureen Pope for making us so welcome.
As usual, John Mee's team of enthusiastic stewards and helpers ensured the day
ran smoothly, and from the comments I have heard, everyone enjoyed themselves.
