Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, all tests have been cancelled for what seems like forever. At last it was deemed safe enough of working groups to hold 'in-house' water tests purely for the working groups members and WNAG decided to take up the offer, hopefully encouraging new members to continue working their dogs.
Despite several setbacks, including our lake being closed on the original day we planned to hold our tests, all who entered managed to be tested, all-be-it over two weekends, special thanks to the SNC WSSC for allowing this and to our judges who made themselves available both days.
For a change we had two weekends when the weather decided to be kind to us, those who have visited Bryn Bach tests in August know how unusual this is!
Congratulations to all our Section A entries, we had 100% pass rate, which just shows how much our new dogs have learnt since May. Never mind to those who didn't quite manage to pass Section B, there is always next time. Congratulations to the two B passes – they looked good from where I was standing.
Thank you to all WNAG members who entered & stewarded, without your hard work and dedication we could not have held this test.

I would like to start by thanking the SNC Working committee and WNAG for the invitation to judge the section A water tests held exclusively for WNAG club members.
My co-judge Dave Thornton and I had a fabulous entry overall over the two Sundays and it was lovely to see some new faces thoroughly enjoying the working bond with their newfs.
We judged a total of 13 section A's, all I am pleased to say passed. Congratulations to you all as we know that Covid has meant training has been restricted. Some very promising youngsters coming through as well as some established veterans in the water.
Our thanks as always to WNAG and to all the stewards who so kindly helped on the day.
Looking forward to seeing these all prosper.

Thank you very much for inviting us to judge Section B at WNAG’s first "in-house" water test, sparked by Covid-19 restrictions.
We had seven dogs all together, with nice passes for two of them, one a novice dog and handler. Only a little more practice with the majority of the remainder will likely reap its rewards.
Thank you Test manager and stewards for your assistance.
