It has been brought to my attention that the stated prize money in the block advert for the Open Pups and the Open Restricted trails at Rydal Sheep Dog Trials was not issued today by the promoter of the trails. I have been in touch with the promoter, Mike Thornton and raised this with him. He confirmed that as far as he was aware the prize money for all three trails, as advertised in the block advert, was correct however the committee responsible for allocating the prize money obviously thought this was different. He has confirmed that he will bring this issue to the attention of the Committee when they next meet and he said he would let me know the outcome of those discussions.

Also just to be aware that the promoter for the Wythop trail has just confirmed today that the Maurice Bewley Memorial Trophies will be run for over two trails at Wythop. This relates to the Open Maiden and the Open Restricted trails only. Trophy for each one. Not to be confused with the points competition also run over the two trails but including the hounds and pups only, the winner with most point in each grade will receive a trophy in memory of ‘Nasher’ .

Thanks Fiona
