About Us

At the South West of Scotland Gundog Association we have a committee of around 14 members which includes the following office bearers:

Chairman

Mr Graham Wilson (Scarrabus) has trialled labradors for some time.  Previously our General Secretary, Graham has been an important member of the club for many years and we hope he will continue to contribute for years to come.

General Secretary

Fiona Maclean (Afinmore) has shown and worked labradors for many years and is very active within the breed.  She's well known for her chocolate labradors, having produced the first ever Scottish champions in the colour.

Treasurer

Helen Paterson (Peallaidh) is currently doing a superb job as our treasurer.  Helen has been involved in retriever field trialling for many years and does her best to give back to the sport.

Retriever Field Trial Secretary

Derek Hutchison (Cairnrover) is our Retriever Field Trial Secretary.  Derek works for Buccleuch Sporting and has trialled his labradors for some time.  He is a keen - and efficient - gun and enjoys shooting at our trials

Spaniel Field Trial Secretary 

Rab Lithgow (Bankbrae) trials English Springer Spaniels.  His wife Kerry is always in attendance at our working tests and her assistance is invaluable.

Show Secretary

Mandy Morton (Andronja) has bred and shown Hungarian Vizslas for many years, making up multiple champions.  She's been instrumental in making our open shows over the last few years an ever increasing success.
