• Ch Cruchfield the Vicar C.M. (bred by the late Mrs

Sapio) may have won only one BIG, but although he did not reach dizzy heights, he performed creditably at non-slip Retrieving where he was awarded a certificate of merit (C.M.) on one occasion. He was an enthusiastic duck and rabbit dog.

• Ch Bardenvale Bonnibelle (bred by Barbara and

Dennis Cheetham) won a Novice Spaniel/

Retriever Trial on rabbits and a second in an open stake. She had a great nose for quail.

• Ch Cleavehill Morning Post (Imp UK) (bred by Jean Taylor). He was a lovely dog. He won a number of BIGs and was R/Up at a NSW specialty.

• Ch Haywyn Ragtime (English Pointer!) (bred by

Bev Clare). I shot over him a lot on quail and he was breathtakingly stylish to watch when he got a scent and came on point. Tom Harris (Bordnamot Weimaraners) started me off on training him.

I was a CCC (Q) Councillor from 1980 to 1997. During that time I served on the Judges Training Sub Committee, was Chair of the Field and Retrieving Sub Committee, and Chair of the Disputes Sub Committee.

I was also secretary of the Gold Coast Canine Club for many years, member of the English Springer Spaniel Club, foundation member of the German Shorthaired Pointer Club, and sometime member of a couple of the non-slip clubs. I was a steward at the Brisbane Royal Show for over twenty years.

Over the years I was a Judges Training Coordinator for Group 3, Group 4 and Group 6.
