Informal Training sessions
With Rich Stock
(Please contact Rich re attending any training session – please do not
just turn up – Thank You)
Venue: Nempnett Thrubwell, North Somerset
For those of you who are not quite at the stage of venturing onto the trial field, or are
in need of some extra practice on different sheep, Rich has been running some
informal sessions on a Sunday morning. Groups have been small – just 1-5 handlers
each session and have proven very popular. If you are interested in coming along then
please give us a call – be great to see you.
Sessions will be free to Somerset Club members.
