Field Trials Archive

We held two trials in January 2006. On the 24^th January 2006 we held an open stake at the Angmering Estate by kind permission of Lady Sarah Clutton and Lady Herries. The judges were Mr. P. Cole Mrs. G. Hillier and Mr. M Bettinson. The day went very well and the standard was good. The atmosphere was also good with most competitors staying all day to see the trial conclusion even when they were out before lunch. The club received several very nice thank you letters and complements on the day's organisation which was much appreciated.

On the 25^th January the club held a very good novice stake at the Bepton Shoot Cocking by kind permission of Mr. R. Smallman and The Hon Mr. Pearson. The judges were Mr. J. Stubbs, Mrs. E. Barnes and Mr. C. Pelham. Bob Smallman put on an excellent day for us with both driven and walked up birds. Unfortunately, despite this and a good standard of dog work, the two dogs left in at the conclusion of the stake after having seven retrieves each failed to pick a woodcock at the end of the day so no awards were given.

We were invited back to Agmering Park again for a second open stake on 27^th October 2006. This was a magnificant day. Lovely, weather, super high partridge and phaesant with lovely shooting and good dog work to watch. The judges were: Mr. Tony Casserly, Mr. Ron Jeffery and Mr. Tony Brazier. The club's thanks also goes to Lady Sarah Clutton for hosting the judges to lunch. The winner won the stake for the second occasion making his dog into a Field Trial Champion as the bitch had also won another one day open stake.

On 14^th November 2006 we held a Novice Stake at Great Livermere Suffolk by kind permission of Peter Hammond. The judges were Mr. Peter Johnson, Mr. Andrew Wright (who subsequently went on to win the Retriever Championships with his Golden Retriever - Well done) and Chris Rose. We are indebted to Ron Taylor and his team of guns for shooting for us on the day. The trial was originally scheduled to take place near Guildford but inflation meant the birds had become too expensive for us. The trial was of course walked up and the game came steadily and the trial was concluded just after mid-day. The worthy winner was:

DELFLEET DOUGAL BY WESTERNASH LAB D. 15.5.04 Fintan Thor of Westernash X Delfeet Golden Glory Breeder Mr. & Mrs. Crisp Handler/Owner MARY DARTON who was also the best looking in the awards.

On 30^th December 2006 we held a novice stake at The Brook Farm Shoot Cuffley Hertfordshire by kind permission of David Thomas. I am extremely grateful to John Keegan for securing the ground for us and organising the team of guns, organising breakfast and judging for us. An organiser superb indeed! The other judges were Mr. Phill Allan, Mr. Vince Mitchell. We were blessed by a sunny spell in between the stormy weather which heralded in the new year. The game came steadily with some good shooting by the team of guns. There was some rain during the finale but some good hunting in cover after an otherwise smooth performance secured the winners position.
