The 2010 hosts were the Kent and East Sussex Branch and the
Finals were held at Isenhurst, East Sussex by kind permission of
Clive and Gilly Nickols on Sunday 4th July.

The judges were Mrs Gilly Nickols and Mrs Gwen Butcher. Three
trophies were to be awarded: The Halliday Cup for the winning
team, The Westernash Trophy for Top Dog and The Tilly Trophy for
the dog the judges would most like to take home.

The wonderful ground at Isenhurst was a stunning background for
some challenging tests; very well thought out and realistic, typical
of what would be encountered on a shooting day.

The Eastern Counties Branch were the winners, taking The Halliday
Cup with 438 points, with Kent and East Sussex running a close
second with 427.

Herts, Beds and Bucks were third with Surrey, West Sussex and
Hmapshire in fourth.

Top Dog was Chris Loseby with his lovely yellow dog Warrenby Casanova of Snipehill and the Tilly Trophy went to Vince Mitchell
with Barkmadbury Desert Storm at Kirkmoor.

The organisation, by Julia Smith was, as we now expect, superb
and Ben Van Praagh’s catering, inspite of some difficulties with the
generator, was terrific and very welcome and our thanks go to
them. Much appreciation goes to Clive and Gilly Nickols for the use
of their land and to Roger Skinner Pet Foods our sponsors.

Judges and award winners

The mainstay of all these events are the helpers who give so generously of their time and expertise, the judges, the dummy
throwers and guns without them we would be lost, many, many
thanks.
