The ESSFTA Pays Tribute To The Inductees Of The
Field Trial Hall Of Fame


FIELD TRIAL HALL OF FAME CRITERIA (a condensed version):
PERSONS: For "Persons", a significant contribution to the field trial pastime has been the hallmark of that criterion.

Contributions can be in several areas; those who have devoted considerable time and energy to the game, and who have given to the sport as a club official, judge or patron. In some instances a person will have campaigned major contendes, handled his or her own dogs in competition, or perhaps bred outstanding dogs. But in ALL cases, they should have served the game in several facets over a lengthy period of time. A person who has been active in the field trial game and reaches age 64 will usually have served the sport over this qualified period of time; therefore, this age requirement will be part of the criterion.
DOGS: The "Dogs" must be deceased and their record as performers and/or producers should warrant their consideration for induction into the Field Trial Hall of Fame.


Nominating Committee for the English Springer Spaniel:
Bev Matthews, Chairman
Kerm Gillund
Dave Lorenz
