Presentations - Saturday.
Report & Pictures by Berni Saunders
Having been to South Australia on a few
occasions I was taken with the tradition of pre dinner drinks with friends.
I thought it was a custom of the wine growing districts, but I am now
realising it is far more widespread. In keeping with local custom, pre
dinner was time for bikkies and cheese and then the presentations.
It was a lovely friendly atmosphere and it
seemed there was something for everyone.
Unfortunately I was not able to attend Sunday's
presentations as we had to dash off before the end of competition to catch
the plane.
In the Preliminary 1.2 Renee Grubb on Sunny Sky
Sensation was 1st. Georgia Gladwin on DP Lost My Socks 2nd, Prue Foletta on
C Belgravia 3rd, Susan Paix on Sheer Etiquette 4th, Tracey Clayton on MEC
Genesis 5th and Mandy Maiden on Bouton was 6th. Congratulations to
all.
In the Novice 2.2 Kerry Kirchner on Kareelah Maximum was the winner,
Tracey Clayton on MEC Genesis was 2nd, Sharon Cox
on Wedgewood Flair 3rd, Vicki Warner on VP Roddy Doyle 4th, Georgia Gladwin
on DP Lost My Socks 5th with Susan Paix on Sheer Etiquette, Renee Grubb on
Sunny Sky Sensation and Heather Currie on MEC Graphic all sharing 6th place.
Congratulations.
The winner of the Elementary 3.2 was Elizabeth
Hunt on the imported chestnut Kerin-Or, 2nd was Jane Cafarella on WL Jerboa,
VP Roddy Doyle and Vicki Warner were 3rd. Fiona Heysen-Smith and Kalinga
Temerity were 3rd, Darbonaire with Wendy Brown 5th, and Gerry Wellington and
Acacia Ridge Rumpole 6th.
Congratulations to the winner and all placegetters in this class.

she bred her horse) 2nd, Jane Cafarella on WL Jerboa 3rd, Ruth Schneeberger
on Hervey Bay 4th, Karen Horsell on Koorong Park Alfredo 5th and Emma Facey

 In
the Prix St Georges Michael Higginbottom on Abracadabra and Elizabeth
Hunt on NV Briary Heysen shared the PSG Championship. Michael seemed
to do the gentlemanly thing and allowed Elizabeth to have the sash - he took
settled for the envelope. Third went to Karen Stevens on Criminal Law,
Alexandra Kowald on Jahahn Razadah were fourth, Prue Foletta and Buchanan
were fifth and Sam Moyle on Victor Bravo were 6th. Congratulations to
all those successful in the PSG.

Many of the pictures are not of
fantastic quality from a lighting
perspective as I was unable to move about to get in the best
position but if you would like a copy of a picture
e-mail me.
