At the kind permission of  the Enggaard Family the 84th Springer Spaniel Championship was held, for the first time, at Dunira Estate, Comrie in Perthshire.  

The judges were Jim Clark, Bill Leonard, Simon Tyers and Garry Veasey. Doug Stewart, the Head Gamekeeper and his team, had done an excellent job of preparing the ground, with plenty of game to test the fifty-three dogs and handlers.

The venue was the most northerly that the championship has been held for many years, it proved to be an excellent choice and the weather over the three days was kind.
