A cool, blustery day greeted handlers, spectators and judges for the WGAA trial held on the Lodden River near Serpentine on Sunday 23rd of September.

Two stakes were run – an Intermediate and Advanced, and the Judges Wayne Phelps and Byron Kendall, both knowledgeable in the ways of game birds, set challenging runs

that were both interesting and surprising. Long time hunters, Wayne and Byron always have the knack of creating runs that demand experience and intelligence

from competitors – the team of dog and handler that gets it right makes it look easy. 

Congratulations to all for making the day another great success, and especially to the caterers. Quail soup, beef, venison, chicken schnitzel ... unbelievable!
