Behind the scenes at ISDS World Sheep Dog Trials, 2005
In the first couple of days I had the pleasure of meeting the Chief
Executive of the ISDS, Norman Lorton. He was busily trying to get the
ISDS tent up and running it, as well as making a very good cup of tea on
a propane camping stove. As the bits got put together in the tent, the
merchandise began to be put out on the tables. Whistles, books, video
tapes, shirts, caps, badges, and other Border Collie gifts were brought
out to put everyone in the true Border Collie Association mood, as well
as a large presentation from the Offaly District Council. The Offaly
District Council was one of the sponsors of this World Sheep Dog Trial.
