There was lots of activity going on today. Tom Murray, the marshall, was
out again with the set-up committee and the three judges, Mike Ducross,
Jan Peterson and Nelson Spencer for some touch ups to the tests.

A few groups headed out for some last minute training. The NRCC annual
general meeting took place, along with the vetting of bitches. One female
did not pass the vetting and has been scratched – dog number 50.

Bibs (supplied by Tri-Tronics) were handed out. Hats, dog food and
handler goodie bags were handed out by Les Oakes, the Purina
Representative. Other sponsors to thank are Eukanuba and John Sharpe,
Ducks Unlimited and Jim Couch (who had assisted with spotting during the
Calcutta auction the previous night).

After the handlers collected their items, it was time to sit back and
relax. A pot luck supper was organized outside of Don Pollock’s trailer.
Good food and wonderful camaraderie.

The convoy is scheduled to leave headquarters at 7:00 AM on Monday morning
for an expected land triple.
