Wykeham Open Field Trial, 10th November 2026
A fantastic day for the Vale of York WRC to have its One Day Open FT at Wykeham by kind permission of the Viscount Downe and Mr James Stephenson. Special thanks to our sponsors Skinner's and Halsted Gundog Academy.
The guns provided some excellent shooting and provided the right amount of game at the right time, headed by Captain of the Guns Paul Deighton.
Our judges, John Yarwood, Paula Cullis, Jim Christon and Paul Stogden ensured the trial ran smoothly and helped to make the day a relaxed and friendly event.
All the competitors very kindly took part in the raffle, where we raised £115.00 for the
Gamekeepers Welfare Trust which I will be passing on to Raymond Holt.
1st place and winning the Vale of York Rosebowl - Keith Eastwood with Eastgayle Phanton
2nd Place winning the Cardueae Labradors trophy and Guns Choice award- Ian Palmer with Drakeshead Fenton.
3rd Place Riverview Farm Zorro - Paul Dukes
COM Lynesykes Envoy - Teresa Middlewood (who accepted a run at 05:30 the morning of the trial!)
Great days like these cannot happen without the unwavering support of the Vale of York committee and helpers, so a huge thank you to Sara Pearson, Tracey Dodds,
Brent Booth, Chris McCully, Mollie Lord, and Claire Carvis.
