Wednesday 11 Sep 2024 - 16 Dog All Aged Field Trial 2024

Location: Brook Farm, Cuffley

On the 11th  September 2024 the HBB branch ran their All Aged trial at Brook Farm, Cuffley by the very kind permission of Mr. David Thomas and the Brook Farm Shoot.  The keeper, Dan Serdiuk and his beaters worked hard to drive the partridges over the guns.  The splendid shooting by the team of nine guns resulted in the trial being completed in just two drives and some 120 birds in the bag. 

Our judges for the day were Mrs. Sue Hutton, Mr. Mark Polley, Mrs Sam Kirkland and Mr. Mark Schiller. The standard of dog work was very high, and the judges worked hard to find the best dogs on the day, with six featuring in the awards.  A big thank you to all those that helped on the day, we could not do it without you.

Over the years, the trials at Cuffley have always been relaxed, enjoyable and great atmosphere.  There has been many in the 25 years I have been involved with the shoot, both retriever and spaniel trials.  Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, and this will be the last for Cuffley as the shoot will close at the end of the season.  The club extends our heartfelt thanks to David Thomas and wish him well in his retirement.
