The Retrieving CLub's final Novice & Restricted for the season was held at Spencers Brook with visiting judge, Jim Hargreaves, in the seat. Runs for Novice were challenging and good use of the terrain meant dogs had to tackle various obstructions. The Restricted was also well thought out, with the last run throwing handlers a bit, only because it hasn't been done here before, but, nevertheless it was handled quite well and resulted in three finishers. On behalf of the club and competitors, our thanks to Jim for his adjudication, Heather Ellis for chief steward duties, and all the committee and workers who helped on the day.
