Without the generosity of the land owners and the support of their keepers and staff, these trials would never happen. Without the kindness of the judges who travel hundreds of miles giving up their day off and perhaps a chance to run thoir own dogs day or two's pay, to them we must be grateful. Also the gun's who pay for the day, whether it is top prize for a driven day or perhaps a not quite so expensive Spaniel day they all pay sometimes big money so we can enjoy our sport. I think the least we can do is to thank all these people for their generosity at the end of the day.

We have held trials all over Cornwall most of the ground is covered with a mixture of light cover, bracken and brambles. Whatever breed of dog you run you can show it off in either of the above ground. To witness a novice handler winning their first trial is a joy to behold especially if they are local to the area. It encourages them to enter stakes many miles away and sometimes they win, which again puts Cornwall on the map.

Todays' membership is stable at about 350 members and hold three trials for each spaieals and retrievers , not a large compared to some. Tests are held every summer both Novice and Open and Inter Club which adds to the local bantering.

Looking back to the very beginning even before the Club was formed Jim and Clive could have only dreamt of what wound be in 20 years on. But does it really matter? Yes it does, a big thank you to all who have helped it happen, a big thank you to all who have helped the CFTS to be what it is today, a brilliant successful Club.
