Regional Training Register (Scotland) & Clubs list

[scotsgent]

Here's a very quick 'first stab' at regionalising the training register for Scotland and pulling together on one page all the data which might be of value for gundog enthusiasts living in this region.

If you have any further data or suggestions, then please don't hesitate to let me know and I will include it. Tests and trials for 2011/12 will be updated as the information comes in.

I have listed:

Folks interested in meeting up for training (if there is anyone not mentioned, then just PM me and I will include you). Currently, I have only listed those who specifically included themselves on the register.
Gundog clubs and associations in the area.

Hi Terry

Unfortunately I'm working this weekend so will be unable to make the training day. Hope to make future days though as the two young 'uns need all the exposure they can get!

[scotsgent]

The training list (original page in this thread) has been updated to include details of the GSP Club of Scotland. Courtesy of Lorna (Rookie). Cheers, Terry

[Rookie]

No problem Terry, I hadn't noticed it was missing from your list.

Just to clarify, all of the HPR breeds would be welcome. It's not limited to GSP's.

[scotsgent]

Lorna, OK. I will amend.

Cheers, Terry

[t jack]

GSP Club Highland region will be running a spring pointing test on 3rd of april at Drummochter, and the GLP club will be running one at Dunphail on the 2nd of April, spectators welcome as long as notified before arrival.
