Our New President
NEFRA are pleased to announce that Mr Bob Allen (Darillens) from Sheffield has agreed to be our new President.
Bob will be well known to those in the showing world, he was our first Chairman when NEFRA was founded and has judged for us at our second championship show and frequently helped us as ring steward. One of Bob’s dogs also won Best In Show at our 1998 Open Show at Worsall.
If you want to read a little about Bob’s early career in flatcoats you might want to read a résumé he wrote in 2012 before a judging trip to the Czech Republic, just one of many prestigious judging appointments which also included judging our breed at Crufts in 2004.
Bob has written a thank you note to NEFRA members for his appointment as our president. You can read it here Bob’s Thank You Note

Four Way Match 2015
The annual Four Way Match Working Test was hosted by NEFRA on 26th April 2015 on ground near Garstang with the very kind permission of Frances Fitzherbert-Brockholes.
Our members competed with teams of six dogs from each of the following clubs: Pennine Training Area (Northern Golden Retriever Association), Pilling Moss Gundog Club and the Burns & Becks Gundog Club.
The tests were set by Garry Ellison and judged by him with his co-judges Neil Parkinson, Stewart Henderson and Steve Burns. Each judge watched as two puppies, two novice dogs and two open dogs competed from each of the four teams.
This year it was Pilling Moss who took the crown, with a novice dog from Burns & Becks winning the Top Dog title.
Our own Keith Aldred with his dog Donascimento Santos was placed a very respectable 2nd place in the Novice dogs.
