“I’m 99 per cent sure we’ll accept that, but we’ve got a meeting coming up in another month, they just review the trials and we’ll talk about that there.”
Mr McLean said this year’s event attracted 30 more entries than last year, from across Victoria and South Australia.
“Jim Dodge from Ross Creek, who won the open, was very good. He just came on the Saturday with two dogs,” he said.
“The winner of the improvers was Mike Deppler and the novice was won by Fiona Burbidge.”
Television show Muster Dogs’ Jack Kennedy and Renee Spencer presented on the process for muster dogs before giving a demonstration.
Mr McLean said the event was well-supported by the community, from spectators to assistance, which he said the small committee was grateful for.
“Friday night was well-attended, they served 111 meals, and Saturday was busy as well,” he said.
“A lot of people came out from the retirement village, and we still get good sponsorship from the Burke family.
“A lot of people camp there, and they develop their own little groups and chat.”
Mr McLean said there were new workers to Moyston who joined in the competition.
“The new workers, and some of them were new to trialling, they came along, which was good,” he said.
“I hope they come back next year.”
