The Gundog Club of WA held the Brinn Memorial Novice, Frances Mckenna Memorial Restricted and the Stern-Glory All Age Stakes on Saturday and Sunday, 20 and 21 July 2024 at a beautiful property near Jennacubbine. Thank you to the property owners allowing us to use their property and to Ray Johnson for liaising with the owners. The forecast suggested showers, but it stayed mainly cool and dry with sunny intervals, perfect weather for trialling for us all to enjoy.

The Gundog Club of WA Novice & Restricted Stakes 09 June 2024.

Our appreciation to the property owners in Wooroloo for allowing us to use this beautiful site for the trial and to Kerry Webster for organising permission to use property. With a bit of rain in the couple of weeks leading up to the trial it was starting to look green at last and the dams while still a long way from filling up are looking fresher. Unfortunately some of the rain was still happening on the day with a couple of heavy showers and rather cool but great conditions for the dogs.

A very special thanks to Kelly Pilgrim-Byrne of 7 to 1 photography for braving the cold and damp to hide in the bushes and photograph our dogs in action, we eagerly await Kelly posting her gallery on the Facebook page.

Thank you to our Novice Stake Judge, Mrs Maggie Hankinson, who set runs in some different areas of the property with nice cover and undulating terrain to test the dogs marking and heeling skills, with the final run at the main dam requiring the dogs to swim. A strong field of Novice dogs today and all dogs completed the stake.

Mr Colin Hankinson did an excellent job as Chief Steward for the Novice Stake.

A big thank you to our Novice Stewards: Katie Partridge (Vetting), Steve Conroy, Terry Little, Ann Graham and Dennis Graham.
