The Arfon Working Gundog Club held its first open English springer spaniel trial at Glasfryn Estate, Gwynedd by kind permission of Gwilym Jones.

The day proved to be very successful with judges Ralph Edwards and Dave Pope commenting favourably on the quality of the dog work and the abundance of game provided.

Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event so successful: the judges, host, guns, helpers, the competitors and generous sponsors CSJ Specialist Canine Feeds.
