NSW Yard Dog Championships

Between everything else, Oberon Matters had to squeeze in a visit to the Yard Dog Championships at the Oberon Showground over the weekend. You can see a full report on the event at the Oberon Yard Dog Trial's Facebook page.

A special mention has to go to the members of the Oberon Show Committee who provided a great service cooking food.

Two observations:

1. No matter how many photos you take of a group of people, there will be no photo with everyone facing the camera
2. Do not have your camera on a strap around your neck when you eat a bacon and egg roll or when the yolk spurts everywhere it will go on the camera as well as your shirt.
