CELEBRATING 100 YEARS
Welcome to North Western Counties Field Trials Association.
The club was founded in 1925 by a group of people from the gundog community of Lancashire, Cumberland, Westmorland, West Yorkshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, to improve the working gun dogs and to encourage their true purpose of finding and retrieving game in the field.
Here you can find all the information you'll need about the club, working tests and field trials.
