Sooo many fairs. So little time!

Emma, this one is a tiddler compared to Weston Park in September - it's still a good event but mostly aimed at scurry competition and a few stalls c 20 last year. 

The Demo's were good last year, it was David Ross, who specialises in spaniels.  I've not come across Andy Cullen before but he was voted the best Gundog trainer in 2011!  His website is also full of spaniels

Would love to go but too far for me. I did go to the Westcountry Game Fair in Somerset at the weekend and my little spaniel came 3rd in the working test. Alas, it wasn't Murffi my mad cocker but one of my reliable springers. Mind you the prize wasn't quite as spectacular as the ones up for grabs at Betley. We got a rosette and a dog food voucher.

a rosette is a rosette - congratulations!  3rd is amazing......

Any idea what time the gates open ?

nope but I'll find out - my best friend from school lives at the Farm so we normally get there early and park in the yard

Will post on here as soon as I have details

Hi not yet - I have had a text back but Jayne is up to her eyes organising the concert in August.  I'll try to contact the main organiser tomorrow and will post asap.

I'm pretty certain we arrived for midday last year and it was well underway - with the prize money on offer I would think it's going to be an 8am start but will confirm as soon as I know for certain.

Thanks Jayne, you would have thought the times would have been listed.
But now we know
I'll be the chap with one unruly Springer and a very well behaved Cocker, or maybe just the well behaved Cocker !!! See how it goes on the day.

[Pearly]

Think you'll be in good company if last year was anything to go by!

I'll be by the first scurry (in the hollow by the gate) at midday... 1 cocker - not sure she can be classed as well behaved
