Crufts Best of Show had no sooner finished when 9 pedigree Gangrel Pointers stepped in to the show arena of Greenacres for the Club annual Points competition. This was conducted on Sheets C and D and the differing ice on both in terms of keenness and swing soon had loud shouts of either glee or despair depending on the success or otherwise of carefully crafted shots played in each of the 8 out of 10 disciplines completed in the time allotted.
Those who took part in order of play in this very enjoyable and frustration shared event were Ally Henry, Peter Galloway, Allan Chapman, Jim Niblock, Bob Cherry, Ronnie Peat, David Graham, Douglas Haddow and Fraser Hogg.
The top 3 results were 1st equal Ally Henry and David Graham with 28 points, 2nd Ronnie Peat with 27 points and 3rd equal Jimmy Niblock and Bob Cherry with 26 points. The 4th podium place was taken by Peter Galloway with 25 points. With only 3 points separating the top 4 places overall, this gives a clear indication of the closeness in capability and competitive terms but it may not have seemed so at any single point in time over the duration of the event!! Notwithstanding, it was enjoyed by all who took part.
