![]() I recently caught up with the captains of the English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish gundog teams to find out more about their roles and how they deal with the pressures and challenges of managing a team. With a mixture of national pride, experience and drive to succeed each captain prepares their team members for the big gundog events. There's no doubt these guys have a passion for the sport but my feature highlights - having a passion and turning it into a winning team are two wholly separate things. With the prestigious Home International event fast approaching I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting Game Fair! A huge thank you to Roddy Forbes, David Latham, John Williamson, Willie Edgar and Mark Bettinson for your time and support.

What a great report and photos Wendy! It was fascinating to learn how the captains prepare their teams. So much work and dedication involved, a real lesson in working as a unit, essential for the big gundog events. What impressed me was the passion involved, and the process of turning it into a win, which you so insightfully describe. A lesson in discipline for all of us in our varying industries. Really loved how you brought this one to life!

Thanks Carol. One of my favourite pieces as they were all so fascinating to interview. Their passion for the dogs is truly inspirational. As they say a good captain is the one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way!
