Puppy, Novice, Novice Dog Novice Handler Working Tests for A.V. Retrievers – Sunday 7th July 2024 – Haighton

“Last test of the season for Pennine and we ended with a fabulous day. The weather wasn’t too bad and it only rained for a short time. At lunch time we provided everyone with food (and cake). Thanks to everyone who brought something, it was really appreciated. Laila Curtis-Noonan and Tracy Langstreth even made wonderfully decorated PTA cakes which were amazing!

We have so many thank you’s to give for today so here goes…..

Firstly thanks so much to Geoff Saint for letting us use his wonderful training ground at Haighton near Preston.

Thanks to judges Keith Broomfield, Michael Nelson, Mark Palmer and Peter Thompson who all did a great job today and gave competitors feedback (if required) in the puppy and ND/NH.

Very grateful to our fabulous sponsors Adrian and Karen Blackledge of “AK Gundog Accessories” for providing the winners with a dummy pack each.

Thank you to Christine (our Treasurer) and Peter Thompson for all their hardwork. They really do go above and beyond for the club, and thanks to Julie Hunter and Kim Howlett for their help with the raffle and booking people in – and everything else they do. Also thanks to committee members Mick Kay, Andy Hall and Paul Brown for all their help.

Thanks to Gary Collier for being Chief Steward for the day who ensured that things ran as smoothly as possible.

Last but certainly not least, as we couldn’t hold these events without them – we would like to say a very big thank you to all the helpers – Paul Brown, Nicky Waddington, Ian Waddington, Jill Cummings, Bob Flewitt, Louise Collier, Nigel McIlroy and John Lupton (hope I haven’t forgot anyone)

As discussed today, we will also be looking to put some training on in September, so keep an eye out on our FB page for details.

The committee would also like to say a very big heartfelt thanks to all the competitors who have taken part in our 4 tests this year, and hope that you have enjoyed our events as much as we have”. Karen Parkinson. PTA Club Secretary.

Puppy, Novice, Open Working Tests for A.V. Retrievers – Sunday 7th April 2024 – Betley

“Another very successful day for Pennine Training Area at our 2nd test of the season, despite some very blustery weather. Fortunately it stayed dry for most of the day.

Our test was held at Red Hall Farm in Betley by very kind permission of Mandy Berrisford. This is a new test & training ground for us, and is an absolutely superb venue, consisting of ponds, woodlands, rough ground and meadows.

The tests were set by our training co-ordinator and Chief Steward for the day, Gary Collier. Thanks Gary, the tests were very challenging but doable

We are so grateful to our fabulous team of helpers who always come out in force to throw dummies, place blinds and steward for us. So a very big thank you to Mark Palmer, Peter Thompson, Mick Kay, Martyn Platt, Paul Murphy, Paul Brown, Andy Hall, David Boardman, Nigel McIlroy, Louise Collier, Emma Tarleton, Scott Marland and Nicky Waddington.

A very big thank you to Nicola Reynolds, Andy Latham, Phil Goulden and Chris Kettle who judged 90 dogs and did a fabulous job.

Also, thank you so much to Adrian and Karen Blackledge from AK Gundog Accessories Ltd for their very kind sponsorship, and for providing dummy packs to our winners.

Thank you so much to Christine and Peter Thompson who both work so hard for the club.

We are very fortunate at Pennine to have such wonderful committee members who go above and beyond to ensure the smooth running of our club”.
