1999

28-Nov-99:   Watlington, Oxfordshire

It was milder in the South, than last weekend in Scotland,
. . some rain in the night, no frost. Although clouds 
remained overcast, we were spared any down-pours while 
the five hounds competed in this four hour cold Stake.
 
However, the conditions were worsened by force 4 winds, and
despite tree-lined fields, the turbulance created, 
confused most hounds and handlers.

As in the previous weekend, Robertson's Bora excelled, and 
was awarded the Kelperland Trophy, by the Judge Sue Richards.
(no relation to David who was handling both Estelle and Myrtle)
