It was another nice day at Mersea. After suffering from windburn the previous day, it was good to see everyone taking precautions for both dogs and humans. We had seven entries today, and all seven passed, with only a few needing to work on keeping their leads looser.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a wonderful event!

We had four dogs entered today. All of them passed the control section well, but unfortunately one of them did not want to do the down stay. It was a lovely venue with a good variety of surfaces and obstacles, and the weather was perfect.

Thank you to SEWN and the test manager for a lovely weekend and a well-organised event!

We had one entry: a lovely control section and down-stay, but it was withdrawn from the haul. The weather was great and it was a nice day.
