On 20 May, we held our Water Test at Pheasant Court Northchapel.

The morning was a busy one with three classes NDNH , Special Puppy and Novice and in the afternoon after a well deserved break for judges and helpers an Open test.

The weather blossomed from a chilly start to warm sunshine. Perfect test weather. Pheasant Court is an ideal place for a water test with its large lake and streams etc. Many thanks to the Locke family for allowing us to hold the test in such a lovely setting.

Many thanks to our judges Chris Rose, Sue Jordan and Belinda Welbourn who had a long day but did a fantastic job.

Huge thanks to the many helpers. It is impossible to run these events without the people who give up their time to help make the day a success for everyone to enjoy. It was so appreciated that so many of you came to help.

Thank you to Joy Venturi Rose, our chairman, for expertly organising the helpers and to Sarah Burnell who helps at every HGS test .

Thank you Nicky Cambrook for supplying a super lunch for the judges and helpers.
