The Gundog Club held their final event for the year at a new trial site between Northam and Toodyay. The property owners came down during the day to watch the Restricted and were very taken with the dogs and their efforts. Heavy cover over the ground made for a change, and gullies, streams, a good flowing river, plus, a fine day, made the stakes interesting and pleasant to observe. Thanks to the Johnsons and Donna Blackman for their organisation of the GDC trials this year.
