Well Im not sure where that went? One minute we were rearing game for the season and whelping the pups the next minute we are running round like headless chickens trying to make the most of whats left of the 11/12 season. Madness!

In terms of Training we have had some new people in the camp that have been coming on live game training days, as well as the ones we still can’t get rid of! (Did you hear that Mr Barnes? Ive got some nice young dogs coming through which will be nice for next season. Dad has some superb dogs coming through and he will be more than ready for 12/13.

So what for this year? Well I had the surprise invitation to write for The Sporting Gun which was fantastic, trickier than you might think at times. Im hoping to lead some Ladies and Young Peoples Training through the summer and really try and encourage as many people as I can. Im hopeful for the internet marketing and webside side of things too. Lets see how it all works out.
