A big thank you to Sarah who was most ably left in charge at kennels whilst we were away, with assistance from Richard (Pluck) and Damien.

We arrived at Peterborough at 6.00pm, a good journey and the weather was fine. Hounds settled into their overnight kennels, we found the nearby restaurant where, who should we meet but, Sid and Margaret – there to support the Minehead Harriers as always!!

Wednesday was an early start, fortunately the weather was dry, and judging commenced at 9.30am.
E. Foster, Esq. and D. J. Palmer, Esq. judged the dog hounds in the morning and Miss Felicita Busby MFH and C. C. Frampton, Esq. MFH judged the bitch hounds in the afternoon. We were joined by Charlotte and Tim who had also made the journey to support our hounds, and in particular ‘Laughter’!

Richard and Bob showed our hounds well and soon Richard’s arm was laden with rosettes.
The detailed results are listed below but all associated with the Minehead Harriers should be enormously proud of our hounds. We took 6 and a half couple and came home with 13 rosettes, 2 trophies and Reserve Bitch Champion – a great credit to our huntsman.

It was a long journey home, we arrived back at kennels in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Thank you to Sue for undertaking ALL the driving.
