Kent Championship
Snargate
18th August 2024
A lovely day down on the Marsh for our Kent Championship. The weather held off and remained sunny throughout. The sheep were consistently stubborn but good handling made some progress round the course. We thank Ed Lovejoy for the field and the sheep, Martin for letting out all day and those who helped take down at the end of the day.
