Judges were Gordon Hodgson, Anna Licciardi Nick West for the novice and Glyn Coupar made up the 4th judge for the open in the afternoon.
25 entries in the novice and 41 in the open, hence providing a 4th judge for the afternoon.
The estate is where I pick up so the tests were designed on what could be expected on a normal shooting day and the tests proved to be very popular.
Novice, all placings were labs.
