The final working test of the season, an Open Walked Up on FT lines, was held on 24th August. The weather was more akin to a field trial in autumn than a summers day in August but thankfully it was forecast so all were prepared.
The test was held at Haxted Farm which offered some challenging ground and was judged by Chris Marshall, Mandy Smith, Marianne Copp and Fay Drewry with Kelvin Nettleingham as Steward of the Beat.
After three rounds the judges declared the test over with the following result:
1st – Bizzy Lucy handled by Colin Coley
2nd – Anningtonbay Ellielicious handled by Mell Brooks
3rd – Klato Jackdaw of Wadeshot handled by Roger Wade
Com – Lovatnoir Raven handled by Jac Mason
Com – Elmertown Blazer of Sussex Sharp handled by Reuben Corbett.
Thanks as always go to our wonderful helpers and our Sponsors; Skinners, Gamekeepers Good and Brown Bag Crisps.
That’s all folks for the 2024 test season. Have a good trialling season and see you all again in 2025.
