Scales: Correct at all weights
Health and Safety comment: Nil

Judicial report: There was no photo finish on the stick to upload for race 12 .
Several Handlers were spoken to advisedly after races 4 & 5 due to the poor boxing of some dogs in these races.
The Stewards impressed on the handlers that boxing early before being called forward and standing back will not be tolerated any further. The boxing for the remainder of the meeting was vastly improved.
ZIPPING STEVE ( D Schofield ) was a nominated post race swab after winning race 7, due to some communication errors some of the Public were invited to the Dais for photos and pats with out the permission of the Stewards.
After viewing the replay of the dais presentation and quite a few people having contact with the dog the Stewards elected to release the dog from the Swab kennels .
This matter will be addressed with the Club.
