Thanks Tony - it will be good to see you again. Let me know if you need directions. The directions in the Premium are pretty clear and the game farm is pretty easy to get to from Highway 403.

I have also heard from a few others this morning via e-mail - plus the LMHRC members that have already confirmed their entries - this will put us at about half full!!

This event is so popular, I think we should consider a QUAD for next year!!

Thanks again.

Hello Everyone,

The Luther Marsh HRC Upland Test is now FULL!! (Pending two confirmations from people that said they were coming but I have not yet received their entry form and/or money).

We will accept entries on a Waiting List in the meantime, as there may be some scratches.

Please feel free to come out and watch next Saturday (April 12) in Brantford. We will have the coffee on and will be serving a light lunch - along with having a pretty good raffle table!! All are welcome.

Randy

(PS - Tony I did receive your entry!! You are in - I will send a confirmation letter on Monday with directions.)

Thank you Randy I can't wait till Saturday. Great to see a full field of dogs, hope to see a bunch of you from CHDF there. I finally got out and ran Chevy. He is ready to go.

Tony,

I am mailing out your confirmation letter and directions today (it might miss the mail run).

I will also e-mail them to you as well (you sent me your e-mail on the entry form).

I usually get these letters out earlier but we had a bit of a "glitch" with our judges which took some time.

Anyway, if you don't get your confirmation letter (either e-mail or regular mail) by Thursday, please let me know!!

Hope the weather holds up for them, can't wait to see some pic's tonight.

Hi everyone,

It was a chilly day with light rain (off and on) through the day. The heavy stuff didn't kick in until we finished.

I know Quack (Al) took lots of pics, so we should see them shortly.

Some great dog work with 13 or the 20 passing in the morning and 12 of the 20 passing in the afternoon.

It was great to see many of the new people passing the tests and several new titles (Upland Hunter - "UH") made. We decided NOT to "dunk" the new title people given the cool temperatures. (Quack made his UH title but we didn't get to see his special "surprise" for everyone - how do you beat zebra striped speedo that he had on at Lake Ontario when he got his HRCH??)

As Hunt Secretary, I just wanted to thank the Judges (Dean Roy and Grant Pilon) who took the time out of their busy schedules - and also the many workers which included Mario and his son Robert (and Robert's buddy - sorry I didn't get his name), Gerry, Duane, Tim, Jeff, Al, Robert, and Scott - and anyone else I may have missed!!

See you all again next year!!

I knew that I would miss at least one - many thanks to Eric Frogley as well.

Although Eric was not running his dog, he was one of the first club members on the scene, helped unload trucks, and was the Chief of Parking Operations!!

Eric managed to get quite a few buckets of water ready for the ribbon ceremony but we decided agains the "dunkings" given the cool tempatures (sorry Eric).
