Training day Kelford Gundogs
Ruthin, Wales
25 March 2007

The day started bright and early, with everyone meeting and having coffee and brioche. We had six HWV and a range of other HPR's. Kelly started the day with introductions and explaining what was planned for the day. Trainers were Kelly, Lyndon and Glen. We were assessed in a group setting and after being put through our paces where individually assessed.

A very welcome three course lunch came in the middle of the day and was a good opportunity for reflection on the morning session.

After lunch Glen and Lyndon set up caged Pheasant and the more experienced dogs had a Pointing opportunity. The less experienced dogs and puppies were also given the same opportunity.

At the end of a very enjoyable day Mathew Alan who handled Ayita Miss Sixty (Jess) was presented with an award and a bottle for Most Improved Dog and Handler. All present received attendance certificates

I would like to thank Kelly, glen, Lyndon and not forgetting Dave, Kelly’s husband who cooked all the food and looked after us all, I would also like to thank all of you who attended and hope you enjoyed it as much as I and my wife Wendy did. It was certainly an enjoyable day providing many learning experiences.
