| E&O TEAM CHALLENGE 2023 SCORES |

After the competitions there were demonstrations and ‘Have a Go!’ events.

Nigel Varney showed the versatility of the Lurcher, working as a
pest control dog and also as a picking up dog.

Junior ‘Have a Go!’ gave some younger members of the audience the
chance to handle a gundog while the Edenbridge Express, a long marked
retrieve to find the day’s quickest dog, was a fun and entertaining
finale to each day.

A country show is not the easiest place to handle a gundog but all the
competitors entered into the spirit of the event and with something always
going on the two days were a great success!

Grateful thanks to all the helpers, Judges, competitors and our sponsors
Skinner’s, BASC, Chris Potter Country Sports and Priory Vets
for their generosity and donation of prizes.
