Hi,

Just settled down after a very long drive to Hook Norton,but what a great day out,and well worth the drive.

A big thanks to Maggi Orr and all her crew,for a well organised day of events,with a superb,friendly atmosphere,with loads of good company.Not bragging or anything ,Cracker won puppy racing,and Finn reserve in unders,pipped to the post by team Fowler :lol: The rosettes,trophies and various other awards were of the highest standard i have seen all year.

A special well done to the gorgeous Gypsy,who won the fun dog scurry.Not bad for a dog that was at the brink of death.

It was great to chat to Paddy and Chris,who are normally doing all the running around.Just a shame they did not get a trophy (w00t) .

Love Pete,Amanda,Cracker,Spike and Finn.Can,t wait to have our new addition,Daisy,to show in Sighthound!!

I have to agree with Amanda ..........absolutely SUPERB day, which couldnt be faulted in any way at all. Even the weather was perfect with lots of sunshine but just enough breeze to keep the temperatures bearable. :sweating:

The going was perfect for the racing, with some tight finishes :wacko: ...I wonder how John McCabes legs are feeling now ! :- and the show classes all seemed well supported. As Amanda mentioned, the trophies and rosettes were absolutely fantastic ..........the best that I have had the fortune to win.

Many thanks to Maggi, Bill and Tom and all those involved in making the day the success it was. I hope that the designated charities do well out of the day. :thumbsup:

Caroline.

Hi all,

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all for a fab day out at hook Norton. To Maggi, Bill & Tom What a brilliantly organised event. The trophies & rosettes were awesome! The first time this season we have taken the dogs & competed We really enjoyed it! The standard of dogs was so high I unfortunatly didn't get a trophy. But I will be back next year to try again!
