Anyone who went to the event on Newyears day at the Laines Shooting School where challenged with one of the most difficult and taxing scurries the Scurrybandits have set for scurrry people and trailist to compete in.
Good scurry dogs from around the country competed with trialists to complete 5 different scurries from bales to single long retrieve onto dummy launcher next two in a pen then 3 blinds in a dew pond.about 700 yards in just over a minute and a half for the fastest of dogs.
Good dogs came and went and some failed to complete the course some got lost on the long retrieve some tried the dummy launcher and then went walkabout on the partridge pens.
Elaine Prime shone through in the end and won the overall prize with Roly Judith an Annie winning places with Steven and a lady with a little cocker from the trialist winning places with the pole dancing June keeping her winning ways with her Labrador.
I think from the comments made during the day and since the day this was one of the best of 2009 even if it was on the 1st of January 2010
Howard Kirby his staff and family deserve a special mention as they really did everyone proud they excelled in thier organisation of the day before the party and the day my personal thanks to all of them.
To all the helpers that gave thier time freely to throw dummies keep score cards and run dummies you do so much that without you none of this would happen thank you from me to you.
I would like to see this event become one of our annual events dont know how you feel but if you let me know then maybe Howard will be convinced that it is a good idea .
