FIELD TRIALS 2020/21: Enquiries To: Field Trial Secretary
The Association was determined to host its usual complement of field trials in the 2020/21 season, albeit against a background of the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, and ran two covid-secure field trials which were subject to the KC Operational Guide for the Resumption of Field Trials, Government and Public Health Authority guidelines and regulations.
The initial WA 2020/21 FT Schedule announced three field trials for the 2020/21 season, and a further Novice field trial was later listed for Cropton Forest, which was cancelled by the request of the Kennel Club with just two days to go.

Covid-19 Security:
The Government and Public Health Authorities have introduced social distancing and issued guidance as well as legally enforceable regulations to control the virus. These can and do change at short notice and all those who wish to participate in our sporting and team endeavours with our dogs must make themselves aware of the latest regulations, and must take personal responsibility for their own safety and well being while at our sporting events. It may be possible to add further trials during the course of the season.
In following the KC Operational Guidance for the Resumption of Field Trials, and having undertaken a C-19 risk analysis and formulated measures in accordance with this guidance and analysis, we strive to be "covid secure" in order to comply with the latest regulations and exemptions therefrom.
You will find links below to all necessary documents to enable you to participate in our trials and ensure you are compliant with the measures we have set out to minimise the risk of contamination and transmission.
The WA FT Secretary will be the designated Covid Safety Officer at all trials , or it will be the person named as such in a specific FT running order.
It should be understood that each individual is personally responsible for their own safety and for provision of masks, gloves, and sanitation products. It is stipulated in the WA protocol that you must bring a zip-lock freezer bag to contain your used sanitation materials during the trial. Please take this and its contents home with you and dispose of safely.
SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL APPLY AT ALL TIMES AT THE TRIAL.
YOU MUST READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU AS SPECIFIED IN THE LINKED DOCUMENTS BELOW. THESE FORM THE BASIS OF YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A WA TRIAL AND ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR TRIALS BEING COVID SECURE.

Weimaraners In The Field 2019/20:
Season 2019/20 was a remarkable year of success for Weimaraners in the field. With the frequency of updates to specialist FB trialling group pages over the course of the season, handlers and breeders in the know began to feel that season 2019/20 was going to be like no other, and was shaping up to be an extraordinary season. Casual observers actually missed the woods for the trees, because out of the woods came the team of 2019/20 amassing an unparalleled 25 awards. The most awards (including COMs) awarded to Weimaraners in the UK since records began, and they began in 1955/56 with the first awards to Weimaraners in UK field trials.
Let us just pause to reflect on those two dogs in 1955/56. A Glucksmann’s Ann Of Monksway (b) (dob 25/04/1954), and Maj. RM MacGibbon’s Strawbridge Baron (d) (dob 22/12/1952).
In 2015/16 just two Weimaraners picked up 6 awards.
In 2016/17 5 Weimaraners picked up 17 awards.
In 2017/18 4 Weimaraners picked up 11 awards.
In 2018/19 5 Weimaraners picked up 11 awards.
And in 2019/20 8 Weimaraners picked up 25 awards, including a 1st in a Novice FT for Wroe’s Bastillian Lady Kasshilde (b), and Burton’s Trubon Graf Treve (d) a 1st in Open. There was a total of 8 awards in Novice, 7 in All Aged, and 10 in Open.
