Oh how I wish I could go and watch but think Surrey is a bit too far

I am the biggest fan of "Ralph" and would love to see him win again this year

The Trials are being hosted by Surrey Police at their Police Headquarters near Guildford from the 27th to the 29th of April 2012.

The event itself is open to the public on Sunday the 29th April from 10.00 am at Mount Browne, and is being incorporated into The Family Fun Day, an event which has drawn very large crowds in recent years. If you would like to see the top Police dogs in the country being put through their paces along with other attractions such as the Force helicopter, the widely acclaimed Essex Dog Display Team , many other sideshows and attractions along with a chance to see members of our firearms team in action then come along from 10.00 am.

The trials consist of various practically based phases at various venues over the four days.These include tracking, searching for persons and property and criminal work. The only phase that is open to public viewing is what is known as phase III and this consists of obedience, agility and criminal work, and this takes place on the sportsfield at Surrey Police Headquarters, Mount Browne. Guildford.

I shall probably tootle along to those

Well if you do, I wish you owned a camera!

I'll probably go on the 29th. I'll take the big beefy SLR along. Though i am a bit of a one trick pony (pardon the pun) when it comes to photos and only any good at getting photos of horses!

It will depend if they ban spectator dogs again whether I go so I am going to see if any of my contacts can be of assistance..........

Ooh that's brill. Hopefully you will be able to get a few shots of Sgt Simon Young and Ralph of Central Scotland Police I aim to have a Ralph pup, if possible, in the future

Here is the boy himself when he won two years ago

ah cool! Remind me nearer the time (memory like a sieve) and i'll do my best!

I'm not working that weekend, so will toddle along too.

We went last year, just up the road from me and it was fab!

Maybe see some of you there then!

We took Roxie last year, there were loads of other dogs there too....
