We've had lots of interest in our plans for a weekend of Beardie herding - testing and training - and it looks as if bookings will have to be closing soon, as there just won't be enough hours of daylight to give everyone a good session otherwise.

A few people plan to stay overnight which should make for a good social atmosphere, and we're all really looking forward to the event.

It's not impossible that yielding to popular demand we will organise a second "Carl Borgstrom event" later on in the year, probably August, and in the meantime a one day event is also proposed, back to back with Leeds Ch show in July.

More details will be posted in due course on our herding site www.spanglefish.com/HerdingBeardies
