The Italian Spinone Club of Great Britain held their annual Gundog Working Test on Saturday 9^th August 2025 at Rode Hall, Cheshire by kind permission of Sir Randle and Lady Amanda Baker Wilbraham.

This was an event full of firsts.  The first for myself, the new Field Trial secretary, with a new venue and new team, held in the Northwest of England.

I would first like to thank Sir Randle and Lady Amanda for allowing us to use their beautiful home for this event.

Thanks to our judges Chris & Peter Guest, Steve Robson, Stevie Allerton, Rob Irvine, Ruth Webster and Lee Loveridge.

Thank you to all the helpers either signing on, catering, stewarding, dummy throwing or helping in HQ.

Thank you to our photographers Robin Wain Photography and John Jeffries at Shire Brook Photography. 

Without all these people this event could not have succeeded on the day.

On a personal note, I would like to thank Keith Wain, who has been an absolute rock behind the

scenes in the run up to the event, helping me with all the preparations To view the results click here.
