Stake 2   Bristol & West Cocker Spaniel Open Trial. 9th of December 2009, Held at Lydney.
Judges, Mr. Malcolm Taylor (A) and Mr. Wes. Thomas (B)
   Another excellent field trial at Lydney, Josh the head keeper and his team put on a superb day and shot exceptionally well for the little dogs, the ground is one of the best in the country and lends its self to some testing retrieves, it is a real treat to be able to hold our open cocker trial on such superb ground, all laid bracken, some bramble and rushy grass in places. The birds also came well to hand, and the trial was over by 1.30 pm.
   A run off for first place was called, the two dogs were going well, and I think it was nip and tuck, until Jon Bailey's bitch Churchview Chimney, had a good find on a cock pheasant, which was promptly shot, she decided she would go self employed and didn't need dad to help her anymore, and ran in..All that way, what a pity!, but thats cockers for you. Thank you once again to the Judges, the Estate, Josh, and all that helped out on the day, the day couldn't run without you!

Stake 3   Bristol & West Open Springer Spaniel Trial. 12th of December 2009, Held at Spye Park.
Judges, Mr Paul Wilson (A) & Mr Jeff Ayres (B)
   This from Geoff Shore, The Bristol and West Open English Springer Stake had us return to Spye Park for the first time in over a decade. The weather could be described as a perfect shooting day, a crisp cold winter’s day without a cloud in the sky. The area of woodland that the competitors were asked to hunt was wooded with a boggy, rich bottom. bracken, fallen trees, bramble, sedges and reeds provided the cover and this was consistent throughout the day. The dogs hunted the cover well with a mixture of Pheasant, Rabbit and Woodcock providing the scent and retrieves.
   Guns Mark Wheeler, Dave Rayner, Glyn Smith, and I had a brilliant day full of action, with the game being provided in just the right quantity and frequency. The winner Alex Badger was gobsmacked by his win. In summary this was up there with the best spaniel trial I’ve ever been a part of and I know from the comments from pretty much everyone there that I am not alone. A fantastic day’s trialling, words can’t do it justice.

Stake 5    Please note has been cancelled
Novice Springer Spaniel- 16 dogs
Date   29th January 2010
Venue      Badminton, by kind permission of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort

Unfortunately the BWWGS has had to cancel this trial because of the re-scheduling of the Cocker Championship.
Two of our judges (one A Panel) then had to cancel their judging appointments with the BWWGS, one because he has qualified and the other because he is judging it!
The Head Keeper who was going to run the day at Badminton (as I will be on holiday) has qualified along with a number of other helpers, guns etc., and although we have approached a number of A panel judges we have been unable to find one available at such short notice so the decision was made to cancel the trial.A short letter of explaination has been sent to all entrants, it is dissapointing but out of my control.
Regards   Dave Raynor Spaniel   Spaniel Field Trial Secretary
