There were actually 5 dogs who scored 8 points: Graham Baldry & Floss, Dee Chapman & Braehead Sid, Ed Hawkins & Roy, Sarah Jenkins with both Bonnie & Elsie. Only one of those 8 point totals contained 6 points for winning a trial, so this year’s winner is Graham Baldry & Floss
The Birkbeck Trophy which goes to the highest placed EASS Local Member to qualify for the English Team to go forward to the International. Unfortunately in 2021, we had no one get through to the team, so this year it is not awarded.
