CHANGES TO the 2010 Spring Field Trial Date & MORE
at Laramore Farms

*** Date Change to 1/29/10 from 1/30/10 ***

Due to an extraordinary entry rate we have changed the start date from Saturday 1/30/10 to Friday 1/29/10.

This is the same location that we had for the 2009 Spring Field Trial. Large open fields with edges for lots of bird work. Last year's trial was considered by many as one of the best that we offered. This will be the last year that we can run on these grounds, as they are to be converted to a cattle operation later this year and will fenced and cross fenced thus not suitable for our use. Do not despair, there are more grounds available in the general area and we are planning to use them in the future.

HERE are the brace sheets for the trial. Will also have some at the Yellow Tin Building (Clubhouse).
Sheri Hudson will be holding down the fort on Friday along with Jan Savelkoul (Dog Wagon).
Lunch will be served also on Friday by Mr. Harrell.
Anyone that can help with bird planting on Friday, please beg Sheri to let you help!!
(Remember – any changes to brace sheet will be noted at the Clubhouse master sheet).

2009 Fall Field Trial

held at Coney Lake Plantation

The party is over! And a great weekend was had by all at the 2009 Georgia Brittany Fall Field Trial. The weather cooperated with us with cool mornings even though the afternoons got rather warm. The clear blue skies did limit the bird work, but it made for shirt sleeve weather and I got a tan!
