Announcing
the 2007 National Championships
and Field Trial
Please join the GSCA National Field Trial Committee for our 2007
National Championships and Field Trial, to be held, November 1-7 at Cloverdale Farm, Sutherlin, Virginia.
UPDATE — Running Order (Word document)
We are fortunate to have these grounds, ten miles east of Danville,
Virginia on the North Carolina border. Cloverdale Farm, is maintained
exclusively for the running of pointing dogs. These grounds feature
rolling hills, big edges, streams, and open woodland. These grounds
were the site of the 2006 AKC Pointing Breed Gun Dog Championship and
were praised by all attendees.
The farm boasts not only wonderful grounds for showcasing Gordons at
their best, but a comfortable lodge and banquet barn. Motels,
restaurants, shops and services are close by in Danville.
Jim D’Amico (NJ) will chair this event; Susan DeSilver (CT) will be
the Secretary. We are fortunate to have Gwynne McDevitt (PA)
fundraising for our trophy fund; Beth Beatty (NC) will be heading up
our Silent Auction. Carolyn Gold will
chair our fundraising committee. We welcome members and fanciers who
wish to join us. Volunteers are also welcomed. If you have any
questions, don’t hesitate to call. Watch for further details.
