The fun field trial held April 18 at the Bill Forward Mgt. Area was a great success due to many people.

Special thanks go to Malcolm Haith and Eric LaMontagne who not only did a wonderful job of judging derby and qualifying respectively, but also generously used their own equipment Special thanks also go to Christine Wilkinson who worked on getting permits, posted signs, marshalled, and threw birds. Thanks to Sally, Bunny, and Lois for bringing birds. Particular thanks go also to those who attended, I think all of whom helped in one way or another.
