Member News

We had a good turnout at the A.K.C. seminars, that our club hosted on June 16 and 17. On Saturday there were 29 people that attended the A.K.C. Judges Hunt test seminar. We had eleven club members that were soaking up all the information. There were people that came from southern Ca,Washington and British Columbia. On Sunday for the field trial seminar there were 32 people with 8 club members in attendance. The folks from S.Ca. Washington and British Columbia were joined by a field trialer from Cheyenne Wy. The feedback that I got from the A.K.C. rep and participants, was that it was a weekend well spent. Everyone seemed to walk away enthusiastic..

The Club owes Skip and Wendy Chadbourne a BIG THANK YOU for their hospitality. The G.S.P.C. of N.S.V. paid all the seminar fees, for all members that attended. NOW IT'S TIME FOR THEM, TO JUMP INTO THE SADDLE and JUDGE......

Respectably submitted,
