Thanks for sorting out todays racing Darcia, we all had a great time (except the bit when I forgot about picking Daisy up at the finish :oops: )

I will be purchasing a frame for Moz's certificate tomorrow :thumbsup: and anyone visiting for the next month will be forced to admire it and Mozzas achievment :huggles: (or I'll set the whippys on them) coz I'm very proud of him :wub:

Pics maybe some time as the batteries are dead in the camera :(
 
Well done Jacob and Bowan :cheers: (Guto sends him some fraternal get-well licks).
 
Bowan ran very well :thumbsup: ......I can't wait to see the Git racing soon ...are you going to the Indi open ??
 
He's entered for the Sporting Champs.

Well I don't know. [SIZE=21pt] HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB.[/SIZE] How did I miss that it was your 21st (again) birthday.

Thanks to everyone for making it a really, really fun day. We really enjoyed ourselves. Great atmosphere, with some close finishes. Trialling dogs all did what their owners hoped for. So a perfect days racing.

I did miss Darcia falling over. AGAIN! :rant: Also I believe that everyone missed me falling out of the van and ending up on my bum in the car park in a puddle. :b

Love Chyppe and his sisters. :wub: :wub: Of course I loved seeing Bowan racing. :wub:
 
Thanks for all the thanks guys :thumbsup: and Rob says thanks for his birthday wishes too :cheers:

It was an enjoyable day, but you had to remind me about my slight 'slip' eh Barbara!!! LOL - Sorry that I missed yours too :p :D

Get some batteries Lou - NOW! (w00t)

and apologies to Bowan - I wasn't thinking when I spelt Bow earlier (I spelt it girly Beau) - dont want to give him a complex at his young age LoL :- "

[SIZE=21pt] HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROB OLD BOY! (w00t) [/SIZE]

Steve said that - not me!! but Happy Birthday from me too :huggles:

Well done Mozza - he's doing really well for you Lou and Simon.

Lovely to meet Ethel - such a sweetie, and also Chyppe of course, who could melt anyone with his eyes.

Sam Cook has grown up so fast, and greeted everyone with a licky tongue.

It was a good day, cr*p weather, but good company which made up for the rain.

See you all soon :thumbsup:

PS Well done all the other winners too
