I would like to start my report with a huge 'thank you' to Amanda for allowing us to use this wonderful location for our tests and making us so welcome. The weather was kind to us all weekend and the ground dry underfoot, which I know the handlers were grateful for.
Due to personal problems one of our judges could not make the weekend, thank you all the judges who willingly stepped up and judged levels not originally invited to do. Also thank you to the entrants for being so understanding of the last minute changes.
We had a good entry with passes at nearly all the levels held. Those who didn't pass this time I’m sure will get there with a little more training.
WNAG celebrated quite a few events this weekend, birthdays of dogs and members plus their 30th Anniversary. There was lots of cake and food for both dogs and people, thank you Sara for organising the doggie bags, and Becky for organising the food, judge's gifts and surprises.
A huge thank you to our judges, stewards and everyone who entered, couldn’t hold these tests without your support.

The weather was quite mild, ideal for draught work. We had six dogs entered today, with four good passes, the Two dogs who failed just need a little more work.
Thank you to all our entrants and our call steward, also a thanks to the test manager and the members of SEWN for their hospitality.

Three entries today at this level with three nice passes. Dogs and handlers seemed to enjoy the pleasant autumn weather and had an enjoyable haul through the woodland.
Thanks to WNAG and SNC for organising today's events, a special thanks to our stewards, Kevin Clarke and Angela Hartley and to our three entrants.

This was the inaugural draught test at this lovely venue, with two entries today. It was a very pleasant autumn afternoon, both teams did well and achieved successful passes.
Thanks to our call and haul steward, to the test manager and WNAG for their hospitality. We look forward to further draught tests here in the future.

At Level 3 we had one entry, who unfortunately, joyfully left the ring on the recall which is a shame because the rest of the control section was good.

Our thanks for inviting us to judge at this lovely site. It was obviously early in the draught work season, but we did have one pass out of the three entries.
Handlers need to work much more on the changes of pace which two dogs struggled with.
