The Moray Firth Spaniel & Retriever Club held their Summer test at Ralia Estate on a beautiful day in early June by the kind permission of Alasdair Findlay. We wish to thank him and his Gamekeeper Alastair Lyon for allowing us back onto the ground again this year. The day was exceptionally well supported by our members and I think it would be fair to say that everyone left happy at the end of the day, I certainly hope so anyway.
The Spaniel tests were generously sponsored by CSJ Specialist Canine Supplies and Tain Pottery and we are thankful for their continued support.
The Judges for the day were Mr John Dickson and Mr Peter Rae. Thanks go to them as well as to the dedicated team of dummy throwers for giving us their time. Willie, Calum and Jimmy, thank you again.
