Judging Clinic

🖊️ JUDGING CLINIC 🗓️ 

We are holding a judging clinic on Saturday 30th September. This event is open to ALL members from novice handlers to experienced handlers and will be a huge benefit to everyone regardless of level. 

We have one of the most respected and experienced judges, Mr Matt Watson, as our master judge. Matt has judged at the very highest level, and his experience and opinions will be of benefit to everyone attending.

There will be six runs in the afternoon; everyone attending will be given a judging sheet and will have the opportunity to judge the run live, each run will also be filmed.

Afterwards there will be a buffet at Halesworth Golf and the runs will be viewed on a big screen with a discussion on each element of each run.

This is a unique opportunity, don’t be put off if you are a novice or beginner as this event will benefit EVERYONE!

The cost for this is £25 per head. 

Due to the venue and buffet we need to know numbers, so please prebook as soon as possible with Ellie Street (07942 022035)

Intermediate Class

 📣 Introducing the Intermediate Class 📣

Following the success of the Friday evening trials last Summer, we have introduced a new class which will allow those handlers that are not Novice Handlers to compete and run a dog which may not yet be ready for the Open/Novice courses. The Intermediate class will be open to cradle dogs run by NON Novice Handlers and will run beside the Cradle/Novice Handler classes which will continue unaffected.
