Midland Gundog Society held a Novice (16 dog) AV Retriever Trial on Monday 7th October at Prestwold Estate by kind permission of the Landowner and Head Keeper Craig Adams. Special thanks must go to my excellent team of helpers.

The day was walked up and a steady supply of challenging birds provided the excellent team of guns lead by Dave Brown with some superb shooting. Big thanks to the Judges, Tim Brain, John Day, Stuart Arch & Craig Jackson, who managed the day and gave the dogs every opportunity to shine.

1st place, Leigh Jackson with Blackgrass Brora

2nd place, Penny Oates with Mountcommon Diana

3rd Place, Jim Collins with Willowmount Goldikova of Brockaghs

COM, Keith Broomfield with Cornwood Glorification
