CSJ Test raises £775 for Charity

The day dawned bright and sunny and the views over the Perthshire hills were stunning.  There was an excellent entry of 94 dogs in total - the  day  starting  with  Puppy,  then Novice  and,  after  lunch, the Open.  

Each stand was busy with handlers and spectators and  most dogs made a good account of themselves.   The tests made full use of the varied ground in shaded woodland, a small loch  and on the undulating grouse moor in deep heather.

During lunch  a dummy throwing competition was held with the contestant having three throws to land a dummy in a bucket. This proved a popular event and after a "run off" the  eventual winner was Mr R Meldrum.  There was also a raffle with a vast array of prizes - testiment to how generous everyone was. 

This CSJ event was held in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity and the Strathmore Club are delighted to say that £775 was  raised on the day. This figure comprised of entry monies, a tremendous raffle, an auction of a tapestry of a  fox and of course the dummy throwing.

Many thanks  must go to the Judges who were  B Ferguson, JOA Douglas, L Ryan  and T Leitch who were all kept busy all day.  Thanks also to all the helpers and to all who  donated  prizes for  the raffle, and special thanks to Willie Spacey and Kathy Bouch who  provided  the lunches  for  all officials and what an excellent  spread  it was! 

This  event could not have taken place without the tremendous organisational ability of committee members Alison Sorley, Alan Downie and  assistants Tasha Kibble and Gill Drysdale, the generosity of Landowners, sponsors, CSJ Dog, competitors and spectators.
Even the weather was generous (!) - holding off until the final moments when the raffle was being drawn and photographs taken.
