The 34th annual LCRC AKC Member Club Field Trial was successfully run last weekend. The weather was beautiful, the dog work was a joy to watch, and the trial ran smoothly thanks to many helpers. A huge thank you goes out to the field trial committee – Jennifer Adsit, Tom Ritchotte, David Butler, Patti Roberts and Tim Mueller for their help pulling the event off. Our key helpers included Andy Leinoff and Wendy Jones, Susan Menne, Bruce and Vicki Butler, Sally Bridges, Bonnie Ritchotte, Sam Anderson, Mark Isenberg, John and Marge Stouffer and many others. Even the competitors gave a helping hand where needed to keep the trial running smoothly – a huge thank you to Deb and Jerry Wilks, Pete Plourde and others for helping out where needed. Our gunners as usual did a fantastic job – Richard Smith, Olen Bielsky and Bob Walton are regulars at the trial by now. Allen Stearns and Ben Charrette were as always bird throwers and helpers extraordinaire.

I hope I didn’t forget anyone – if so I apologize.

Club test cancelled

Dear LCRC members:

While we are by practice not a club which cancels events due to weather, tomorrow’s event must be cancelled.

– Severe flooding in NE Chittenden County is likely to make travel anywhere impossible for some, dangerous for others.

– To top that off, it is simply the responsible thing to do to prevent vehicle damage to the lawns of our gracious hosts in Northfield. Everything is sodden and the rain won’t be stopping for at least 24 more hours.

Ken Bora thanks every one who had let him know you planned to attend: we had 20 dogs signed up! Knowing who you are makes is easy to telephone you in today’s situation. If you did not preregister but planned to show up anyway, sure hope you get this email or get the word from our website or Facebook sites.

We will likely reschedule this club test at a later date.

I huge thank you to those who pre-registered, and we look forward to trying again soon. Stay safe.
