When CSJ sponsored the Bodfari Sheepdog Trials on Saturday 11th April the competition was hot, with Aled Owen and his dog Tom beating last year’s Open class winner Kevin Evans with Dan by just one point.
The Novice class was also hotly contested with Medwyn Evans and Bill in first place and Arwyn Davies and Glesni in second place.
On Saturday Ceri Rundle (CSJ’s founder, who started attending the Bodfari Sheepdog Trials when she was a baby!), sent a message, “Congratulations to the handlers who won the Open and Novice classes - 70 runs - all kindly judged by Stan Harden, Pembroke.”
Sunday’s Open competition, over a different course, was no less exciting, with Kevin Evans and Jet coming out on top with a loss of just 8 points and Dewi Jenkins with Jo (see photo) only one point behind in 2nd place, having lost 9 points.
Ceri’s natural nutrition business CSJ has sponsored the Bodfari Trials since 1998, and said it’s hard work to make the Trials run smoothly and sent a big THANK YOU to all who helped, saying …
“Every packet of sheep was set out and settled on the same spot throughout the two days - courtesy of Brynley Williams, Kerstin Schwartze and John ‘Tan y Waen’ with a little help from Stan Harden, Clare Slater and Kevin Evans.
"All our North Country Mules have been ‘prepared’ over the winter so that they are well used to dogs and trials fit - thanks Aled Owen, Mark and John.
"Stan Harden and Meirion Jones who made a sterling job of judging the two days of competition.
"Once again our caterers, Heather and Becca from the National Award winning ‘On the Corner’ cafe in Caerwys.
"Finally, it was great to see so many long-term loyal supporters of the event all helping to raise funds on Saturday for the North Wales Sheep Dog Society.”
