2024 Field Day deadlines approaching
Tick – tock! MSDA’s annual Field Day is only three weeks away and registration deadlines are approaching. If you want to order one of the awesome event shirts, you need to complete your online registration by Wednesday May 1. All Field Day entries close on Sunday, May 12.
MSDA’s April 2024 newsletter
MSDA’s April newsletter is available. This month we have a “last call” to sign up for Field Day in May, the announcement of a June seminar focused on retrieving skills, and a brief report – with photos! – from the spring hunt test weekend. Plus, of course, a calendar of more activities coming up in the next several months.
Reminder: MSDA has merch!
At the Spring Hunt Test Weekend, we saw a wide range of MSDA-branded apparel. Short-sleeved, long-sleeved, fleece vest and sweaters. MSDA went many years without having options for logo wear, so we hope you will take us up on the offer to add a couple of items to your own collection and to share your enthusiasm for this club. Start your shopping at https://mdsportingdog.org/msda-merch/.
Photos from 2024 Spring Hunt Test Weekend
Our Spring Hunt Test Weekend of 2024 was April 20-21 at Mt. Ararat Farm in Port Deposit, MD. Instead of it being an MSDA event, we assisted the Clumber Spaniel Club of America with their two days of hunt tests . Although it was held by the CSCA, other flushing breeds participated as well. Photos by professional photographer Matt Toth are available online at https://mtfieldsports.smugmug.com/Clumber-Spaniel-Club-Hunt-Test.
A big thanks to the organizers, volunteers, judges, and participants who made the weekend so successful!
