RBST East Anglia Support Group
Young Handlers’ Championships
Throughout 2008, results from 8 East Anglian shows were collated: Hadleigh, South Suffolk, Suffolk, Royal Norfolk, East of England, Wayland, Tendring and Aylsham.
For each youngster the best 4 results were added up to make a total for the season. Presentations were made following the Young Handlers’ classes at the Aylsham Show. The points were allocated as follows: 4 points for 1st place, 3 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd place and 1 point for all other placings.
The results are as follows:
Junior Young Handler (under 7 years)
Champion: Catherine Steel (10 points)
Reserve Champion: Poppy Allen (9 points)
Intermediate Young Handler (8 – 12 years)
Champion: Andrew Hutley (16 points)
Reserve Champion: John Hunt (11 points)
Senior Young Handler (over 13 years)
Champion: Harry Middleditch (11 points)
Reserve Champion: Alice Partridge (10 points)
All Champions and Reserve Champions attending the Aylsham Show were presented with a rosette, and the Champions received a trophy. Those youngsters not present on the day will have their awards posted to them shortly. Special mention should be made of Andrew Hutley who gained full marks throughout the season, winning the individual Young Handlers’ classes at Hadleigh, Royal Norfolk, Tendring and the Wayland Show.
Many of the youngsters taking part throughout the show season were recipients of the Young Handlers’ Bursary awards from the East Anglia Support Group, and many of them attended the first Young Handlers’ Workshop organised by the Support Group in April 2008 at Stonham.
It is hoped to hold another workshop for Young Handlers in 2009.
The East Anglian Young Handlers’ Championship, organised by the RBST East Anglia Support Group, has been very well received. The youngsters (and some parents!) have taken the competition seriously and have approached the Championship with the right spirit. These are the exhibitors of the future and it has been heart-warming for all involved to watch these youngsters grow in confidence and learn from the help and tuition they received at the workshop in the Spring.
