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.
