Steward of the beat Jim Chattaway and dog steward Phil Highfield.
Many thanks to all the helpers (Rachel, Stewart, Iain, Chris, Shane, Tanya and Kay), who helped make the day run smoothly.
The first day was a mix of walked up and driven on a variety of ground producing a good supply of birds. The last drive of day one proved challenging and we ended the day with 12 dogs through to day two.
Day 2 started with snow on the ground and a cold breeze. The first drive was walked up with challenging cover for both handlers and dogs.
A mix of game tested the handlers and dogs and after a second drive the awards had been decided.
Our team of guns were outstanding providing some excellent retrieves.
The awards were as follows:
First Place and Gun's Choice
Claire Raymond - Nobsquinton Nettle
Second place
Mike Tallamy - Brindlebay Mead

David Latham - Mikamores Devon of Fendawood
