Our 2 Day Open Qualifying Stake at Emblehope and Burngrange Estate ran on 11th & 12th October 2024
The club had a fantastic 2 days on the Emblehope and Burngrange Estate by kind permission of the The Kennel Club and hosted by Raymond Holt.
We have been very lucky with the weather, it being fine and dry with us just finishing before the rain set in on Saturday (as you will see the award pictures are inside)
A big thank you to our judges: Grieg Paterson, Andrew Slingsby, Wayne Skett and Ian Palmer, who judged fairly and consistently throughout the two days, giving competitors every chance to succeed.
Thanks also to the people who came and gave up two days to help: Shelly Sandiford, Margaret Traves and Jason Barnes.
The guns were excellent over both days, providing a steady stream of birds and we thank them for coming and making the Trail such a success.
Anne and Raymond were excellent hosts, thank you Anne for keeping us fed and watered.
This was Mark Wilson’s first trial Field Trial Secretary of Three Ridings and he jumped in at the deep end running a two day open but he certainly pulled it off in style – congratulations Mark.
Lastly, thank you to our sponsor Roger Skinner.
As is Three Ridings tradition, we won’t go into long descriptions of the two days, instead the pictures, kindly provided by Raymond tell the story.
