FINAL REMINDER to anyone still to send their entry for the Midlands Handler of the Year Event to be held 2-9pm, Saturday January 12, 2002, at the Cricket Connexion, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry. The revised format means every adult handler will be assessed in small groups by each of the four judges, and will gain points towards the team total. The top 20 or so scoring the highest will be asked once again to demonstrate their skills, before the collective panel of judges, to decide the best overall handlers and provide a boost to their team’s final scoring.

There are still a few places in the separate child and junior handling classes, which are being run for the first time at this event. Further details are available from Maureen Godson on 01789 764715.
