Rory Major, a professional gundog trainer, gave an excellent talk at the June meeting to 38 members and guests.

I think I can speak for all who were there that it was an excellent talk and we all gained tips in training our dogs from the Rory (much to the disgust of my GWP).

At our July meeting we have a talk from Nick Havermann-Mart, chairman of the BFC and owner of Honeybrook animal food.

Nick will be talking about animal food and how it is produced and hopefully nutritional values.
