As always we would like to highlight the generosity and support given to us by our main sponsors BASC and Skinners, with the much appreciated prize donation this year by AK Gundog Accessories. The support given by BASC makes a significant impact on the clubs ability to hold so many events each year. Skinners have never failed us in all the years they have been our sponsors and continue to do so much for our sport at all levels.
Finally a huge thanks goes out to our admin team on the day, Kerry Lithgow and Fiona Maclean both of whom I ommitted to thank on the day and without whom the event simply wouldn't take place.
