13 July 2008 Penrith Kennel and Obedience Club Obedience Trial.
Panarama shot

Our trial started on the Sunday morning to which we had 167 entries.  It was a very cold day and but fortunately remained rain free during the event.  The trial ran well into the afternoon with presentations finishing at around 3pm I seem to recall.

I have mostly taken photos of our members when available as I was
also competing with my dog Barney on the day. Barney and I were first into the ring and added to our success the day before in earning a CDX title. Jayne took my camera whilst I waited to go into the long sits and downs and one of the shots she took is featured below.

There was an abundance of helpers turned up at the trial and it all fell smoothly into place on the day.

Our particular thanks go to Linda Dibbin and JayneButler who tirelessly organised this as well the Judges and Stewards of the day plus those competitors who entered the rings making the day another to enjoy and remember.
