GraemeGSP Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Details of the 2010 Polmaise Cup are now available at http://www.polmaisecup.co.uk The format has been changed this year to suit a wider audience... this quote from the web site... The Polmaise Cup was created to ‘promote and encourage the art of shooting with Gundogs’. The past two years have confirmed that this is indeed the 'Ultimate' gundog competition. Whilst The Polmaise Cup has successfully 'promoted' the sport, it has failed to ‘encourage’. However, changes have now been made to address this issue. The concept will always remain the same 'shooting over dogs' but the new format is designed to give everyone the opportunity to compete in a 'trial-like' situation. In 2010 The Polmaise Cup will consist of... 1. Novice Class: The introduction of Novice entry, will allow ‘every-one’ who has at least one dog. The novice event will be held in the morning of the event and will require only One dog, 'All' variety Spaniel, OR Retriever breed! And one shooter. 2. Junior Class: The introduction of a junior class will hopefully further promote the sport and encourage the 'Youth'. This will be held in the afternoon, running at the same time as the Open, with separate judges. The junior is open to anyone under 18 who can enter either One or Two dogs, any variety Spaniel or Retriever, but they are NOT required to shoot. 3. Open Class: The introduction of Open class will allow anyone who has competed in Novice and would like to progress to Two dogs or is competent to enter with any variety Spaniel and Retriever, and one Shooter. This will be held in the afternoon. 4. Championship: The introduction of a Championship is possible now that we have 'history' over the last two years. The Championship will be held on a separate date later in the shooting calendar, and is available to any competitor that has been awarded either First, Second or third in a Polmaise Cup open class event OR by invitation. I'm sure you'll agree there's something for everyone there.... The Polmasie Cup is a non profit making competition with the sole aim of promoting the art of shooting with dogs...
