The Dutch Weimaraner Club have jointly invited the WA and the WCGB to send a team to Holland in early October 2020 to compete in the above European Competition. It is a field event, which is part of their 50th Anniversary celebrations. It is the second time the competition will have been held.

Both FT Secretaries of our trialling breed societies have agreed to co-ordinate a joint team, as we have done over the recent UK based, HPR Team Challenge (based on a GWT format).
