Obedience Trial Results!
Indoor Medallion Open Obedience Trial
KCC Park Lyndhurst
13 October 2000

The GSDCV Open Obedience Trial is our only night trial starting at 7PM on a Friday night! Strange time you might say but many competitors think it is novel to hold a trial indoors at the ‘aircraft’ pavilion at KCC Park! We started the night trial a few years ago as some handlers think they perform better at night – and in any case it keeps the weekend free for other activities. On this occasion we were pleased to have in attendance the President David Hynd, and the Vice President Phil Vincent to see how a night trial falls together!

Judges and stewards were welcomed early with an incredible meal light prepared by Marilyn – a country soup full of Ballarat’s best veggies, roast beef, salads and deserts – and of course there was sandwiches and more food available for the competitors after the trial had finished.

The trial commenced at 7PM under the aircraft hangar lights and we had a good mix of breeds entered. The trial committee and helpers were:

Trial Committee: Jane Morrey, Marilyn Wrigley, Alex Dordevic VCA Representative: Dawn Howard

First Aid Officer: Ann Sciveras

Judges: Frank Valastro, N McIlroy, Frank Neeson, Margaret Deakes, Clive Makepeace, Neville Kay, M Ashman

Stewards: Stephen Gunst, Kaye Whitehouse, J Tahourdin, Pam Makepeace, Sue Speers, Ivan Hipworth, Willie Lucas

Helpers: Rosie Garbett, Willie Lucas, Ros Walton, Bev Allen

and all the people who assisted with setup and pull down!

The presentations were noisy of course because of all the cheering (up the GSD’s!, up the pointers!, up the Vizslas!) and of course what else would you expect on a Friday night but that one or two of our competitors had had one or two (or a dozen) of scotland’s best fluids!

Many thanks for ProPlan for sponsoring the event and for David Hynd for making some of the presentations for us!

The GSDCV Trial Committee thanks all competitors, judges, stewards and everyone who helped at the trial. Please note the next trial which will be on
