Congrats to Jim, Alison & Mav. You had a very consistent couple of days. Well done to all the other finishers. You all did great work.

Congratulations Jim and Mav what a great weekend you had. Also thanks to the number of stewards who came up just to throw birds for the weekend. The judge did a great job excellent runs and results were on the money. Finally the trial manager Trevor Stevens who basically did the bulk of the work on behalf of the Vic RAFT.

Many thanks to the contributors to this post, most notably Karl who did a fantastic job of keeping us informed run by run. 670+ views at this point demonstrates the high level of interest in State Championships that exists among the retrieving fold.

Congratulations to the place-getters.

Great job Karl and congratulations to Jim, Alison and Mav on a great win, hopefully we can set up an open thread for the Tas Championship at the end of the month.

Great win Jim, well done but get off that plastic flagon port.
