Best Laid plans...

Best laid plans getting set aside for more than one person unable to attend the Canadian Nationals, including myself.
Was able to keep my committments as Herding Chairperson for the Trials, but had to pass along the baton for MVA to Jackie Tomayer to see it through. Thanks a million Jackie, certainly appreciated.

Pictures will be posted over the next few days on the 2010 CNASAWebsite for all venues.

We saw some lovely dog/handler teams step up to the challenge on a large trial field ( 200 x 400 ) and not timeing out while negotiating both the arena and the stockdog courses. Received alot of compliments on honest stock / great venue as well how smooth things ran with Special Thanks to Irene Manley CD and Jackie Tomayer Trial Sect the rest of the Trial Committee who were a big part of the Nationals Trial success.
Thanks to all the competitors who stepped in to help...all sincerely appreciated.
