Doggie day out

The Lynton Downs School Field Day and TUX Handy Dog Competition, sponsored by Nestle Purina Petcare, were held on Sunday January 10 at various points around the Lynton Downs area.

As in previous years the event proved a popular day with a good number of entries, with competitors from across the district, including others from South Canterbury to Takaka.

With 70 entries in the two hunt courses and a further 55 in each of the heading courses, organisers were pleased with the turnout.

The day is held as the main fundraiser for Lynton Downs School, and the Kaikoura Collie Dog Club puts it together each year for the school. In return, the school helps the Collie Club with their main trials later in the year in May. School principal Lance Percy said it was always a great fundraiser for the school and this year was no exception. MORE>>
