The WGAA Vic
Demonstration Team recently travelled over to Perth for the inaugural SSAA Shot
Expo in the west. This was a first for us as the dogs had to be flown over but
they all took it in their stride. Previously the dogs have performed
successfully at the Melbourne and Sydney Shot Expos.
This time
the team consisted of Kevin & Aussie, Shane & Angus, Angie & Farli,
Steve & Meg and Barry & Kio.
SSAA WA, Exhibitions Group, SSAA National and SSAA Vic were all
very generous with their help and financial support. Even the dogs had
excellent accommodation in a very large dog trailer and travelled in style.
The pressure was on to put on a great show and deliver we
did – the team members and their dogs were awesome, four shows in two days
under the very hot West Australian sun. As well as large crowds we even had the
WA Police Minister at one of our performances as well as Ron and Michelle
Bryant from SSAA WA and National, Geoff Jones, National President and Kaye
McIntyre, National Secretary.
The Perth Shot Expo was judged to be a huge success with
heaps of exhibitors and overwhelming support from shooters in the west. The
place was packed with close to 10,000 people passing through the door and was a
testament to all those who had planned this event over many months.
Congratulations to everyone, even the muzzleloaders who
really put the frighteners up the dogs and us as well.
