Shows

A typical show pose – Bright’s Hopevalley Morning Twister

NEFRA host one Open Show every spring and one Championship Show every autumn.
On three occasions we also have had the pleasure of hosting the Joint Flatcoated Retriever Club’s Championship Show (we last hosted this in its final year in 2017). An exciting change to the programme starts in 2024 when we will be hosting another Championship Show on the same day as our Open Show.
