Had a great first session in Stowmarket this morning, it was a bit weird without all my ‘stuff’. After having my own training venue for a dozen years, it’s odd going back to a hall but it worked well.

5 teams for class and then a lovely 121.

Can’t wait until next month.

Today Sue & I ran an Enhanced & and Excellent stage trial at Mangapps Railway Museum in Essex. We had all the weather across the day.
The day started with The National Nosework Association Enhanced stage and we saw some great teams.
Our winner was Sophie & Spudd who also staged up to Excellent!
Reserve was Tasha & Wilson.

This afternoon we held the Excellent Stage trial which proved to have a much more challenging interior than was expected.
We had joint winners with Chris & Watson and Sophie & Spudd who stayed just for the fun of it. Reserve went to Sara & DeeDee.

Well done to all who took part today.

Sunday we have a training day at Purfleet with all of our instructors on hand.

We have called it The Summer of Love Searches because we want handlers to remember the love of the game and not the hunt for the badges.

Join us from 10-4pm, this is open for any team working gun oil. We will focus on independent searching and indication and anything else that the teams are finding problematic.

Saturday Nikki Thorpe & I took over Beancroft Farm and ran an Elite & a Spirit trial. We had the pleasure of watching teams in the highest stages of The National Nosework Association trials and it was fab!

The morning started damp and dreary for the Spirit Stage with 5 teams taking up the challenge fueled by a wonderful cake made Penny Loosely.

Alison & Hugo took home the winners medal and Emma & Rupert the reserve.

The afternoon we had 6 teams for Elite and some unpleasant weather. The teams took it all in their stride with a smile and enjoyment of the game.

Helen & Preston were the winners and belated birthday wishes to Preston who turned 10 years old the day before. Reserve was Sue & Hippie.

Thanks to Scentwork for letting us hijack your venue and to all the competitors who came and made the day such fun.
