Unfortunately Grangewaters continue to be beset with either ailing dogs, or ailing stewards, accordingly it was another weekend of juggling resources – and we are very grateful to all of our guests who lent their support to assist with stewarding over the weekend.
In total, we had 49 entries across the weekend. Saturday saw a total of 25 dogs swum, but due to limited stewards this was done through the one swim. Sunday, with a further 24 dogs to swim in Tests B and D both of which can be time consuming tests, forced us to run two swims to enable the day to finish at a sensible hour.
Personally, I must say a huge thank-you to Carol Taylor who undertook Scoring Steward duties for me on the Saturday, enabling me to lend a hand in the water, and then also to Bev Clarke who stepped into the breach for me on the Sunday to fulfil the role of Test Manager whilst I absconded to support my youngest daughter in her 1st One Day Event.
Across the weekend there were some terrific passes, but to all of those who didn’t quite succeed - better luck next time, it seems to have been a great weekend and enjoyed by all – thank-you all for your support.
The only sour note, was the unfortunate incident with one of our members who broke her fingers early on the Sunday ( we wont say how ) – but in true grit she soldiered on all day “ as she could still use her voice”……Terri you are a star….
To our Judges, the stewards, and all of our guests, thank-you for your support and I hope to see many of you again next water season.

On a sunny Sunday at Grangewaters we had 16 entries in B of which 7 were passes.
The quality of entrants was really good, and most can expect to pass in he near future
Thanks to all those at Grangewaters for putting on a great test and to all those for supporting it.

What a lovely day for a test! Lovely sunshine with a cooling breeze, There were 8 dogs entered with 3 passes, All of the dogs did at least one exercise really well. Two of the passes were completed with no points being dropped.
Thanks to all the Grangewaters team for their efforts to put on a successful weekend, and special thanks to all our stewards.
Also, it was so nice to have entrants who took everything in the right attitude of enjoyment
