What a lovely image! I was thrilled for you Gill.

Well done everyone. Thanks again for all the help from everyone. On leaving the field, I picked up a blue folding chair ( it was about 1/2 way down the track). If someone realises they have left it, let me know, and I will bring it to the 3rd Nationals.

India says thank you to all for the collection. It will help to 'even out' her bank balance, if you know what I mean. She is very tired but still able to sit up and watch Plirates of the Carribean!

p.s. will post results tomorrow, too tired now.

Yes it was a good day. The weather was perfect for the dogs running. The track etc was also perfect and a hearty thanks to all the people who made the open run so smoothly you are all stars.

I suppose that there are some dogs that I could congratulate ............. I dunno I'm sure that some friends of mine had a good day. Hmm.................... Now who was the lady floating up the side of the track and the Londoner with the Welsh accent ........................ What dog were they connected to. Hmmm........................ Seth or was it Zeph the phoney Welsh blokey kept cheering on I think. Hmm............

I reckon that I might have to congratulate Darkling Sandfly on finally :sweating: getting his nose in front in a final. Yep well done Gill and everyone whose dogs won today. There were some excellent finishes the dogs giving us great racing all day.

Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to give us such a good days racing. I so enjoyed myself. Thanks.

Have to say that it looked rather sad and lonely in the middle of the field all on it's own and in need of an owner.

We would like to thank the organisers at Gloucester for a great day, it's a great venue. We are so proud and a bit shocked that Marley won his maiden group, it made the 4 1/2 hour journey home much more enjoyable. :thumbsup:
