Edenbridge & Oxted Show 2021

After the disappointment of last year’s cancellation everyone
was delighted that this year’s Edenbridge & Oxted Show
went ahead and once again SEGS organised the Gundog
events over the two days.

One other bit of exciting news was that the ‘Gundog Arena’
now had a large pond so water retrieves could be included
as well as over fences and into pens!

To showcase a representative range of breeds the two days
featured invitation competitions together with various fun
and ’Have a Go!’ events.

On Sunday 29th August ‘The E&O Retriever Challenge’ featured
15 ‘open’ standard retrievers and on Monday 30th August
‘The E&O Team Challenge’ featured 6 Teams each of 4 dogs
made up of 2 Spaniels (a Cocker and a Springer) and
2 Retrievers (a Labrador and a Flatcoated Retriever or
Golden Retriever or in one Team a Weimaraner, an HPR).

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

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 and open to all breeds,
was a very popular, entertaining and
light hearted finale to proceedings.

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 and Chris Potter Country Sports
for their generosity and donation of prizes.
