On Saturday the adverse weather conditions, rain, wind and snow, put the dogs and competitors, companions and judges to the test. Despite the inclemency of the weather, we managed to complete the day's competition with satisfactory results, which were then supported by a decidedly better Sunday.
Applause and thanks
Judges Egidio Chianello, Cristian Isoldi, Demetrio Lione, Nicola Califano and Salvatore Palladino are competent and impartial in their judgments, as demonstrated by the long applause dedicated to them when reading the rankings. A special thanks from the coordinator for national competitive activities Aldo Pompetti and all those who were involved in various capacities in the test goes to the Provincial President of Salerno Luigi Spera, present on the two days, and to Carlo Cascino for his double commitment in the secretariat and as a judge. But double praise goes to Biagio Carbone and all his staff for the perfect technical organisation, to the hunting guards and naturally to Mister Mix, sponsor of the event.
The role of the huntresses
The Delegate Luigi Chiappetta complimented the excellent organization, the grounds and the right presence of the foxes, then dedicating a fitting note of merit and heartfelt thanks to the hunters who participated in the test, once again demonstrating their skill. “Lastly – concluded Chiappetta – but perhaps it should have been put in the foreground, the sportsmanship, availability, altruism and spirit of true friendship that the hunting federations have once again demonstrated must be underlined. Thanks to the national Federcaccia and to the president Massimo Buconi, always attentive and close to the hunters and a hug and congratulations to Aldo Pompetti, who in recent years has managed to create an important group and carry out all the sporting activities of Federcaccia with excellent results ” (source: FIDC).
