GDCWA Inaugural Patricia McKenna Memorial All Age Stake.

The Gundog Club of WA enjoyed cool, partly cloudy but dry conditions for their first ALL AGE Retrieving trial of the year on Mother’s Day, Sunday, 14 May 2023 at Grass Valley.

This year a new perpetual memorial trophy dedicated to former Gundog Club of WA Life Member, Patricia McKenna, was presented by the Gundog Club of WA to be awarded to the winner of the trial. Our thanks to Glenice McClure for sourcing a lovely crystal Cocker Spaniel figurine and to Colin Hankinson for designing and the timber stand for the trophy.

Judge, Mr Richard Courtman, set a testing trial, making great use of the terrain, cover and water available at the site.

Mr Mark Jackson did an excellent job as Chief Steward for the day, very efficiently assisting our judge to set the course and keep everything running smoothly on the day.

We are very grateful for the support of our Stewards for the day: Allan Bartram, Catherine Thorburn, Dennis Graham, Kirsty Jackson, Trisha McGregor and Katie Partridge, a brilliant team effort.

Our thanks also to the competitors who kept the runs moving and fetched and carried when needed.

Our appreciation to the property owners for allowing us to use this beautiful ground for the trials over the weekend and to Ray Johnson for organising permission to use the site.
