Kent Championship

Snargate

6th August 2023

A lovely day down on the Marsh for our Kent Championship. The weather held off and remained sunny throughout. We thank Ed Lovejoy for the field and the sheep. We thank Elaine Anstey for judging, Ron Beecham for course directing, the letter outters and those who helped make quick work of taking down the course.

We also send thanks to the family of our late President Les Ramsden, for presenting our Les Ramsden memorial shield for the young handler with the most points from “Snargate to Snargate”. This was presented to Harvey Lauder.
