Will be touring in Northumberland and would like to see a herding trial. There will be on on the 30th of Sep when I am there. Have emailed them but no response. Can I attend the trial?

Sept 30 Northumberland League Sheepdog Trials Society NE19 1RB. I have done Border Collie rescue here in the US for 25 years and have two now. Coming to England to see the monument to Old Hemp and very much would like to see a trial, even for a few hours. I’m staying at an AirBB in Otterburn. Would get a ride or taxi.

Have you tried calling the organiser?- Ms K Gaukrodger 07803 083 792 - that looks like a cell phone number, not a landline.
I believe that from the US that is 011 44 7 07803 083 792, but am not sure on that
Looking back at an earlier year she lives at Liberty Hill Farm, Raylees, Elsdon, NE19 1BL and her landline is 01830 520968

PS- there is a Kate Gaukrodger on Facebook, who lives in the right area. With such an unusual name it would be a strange coincidence not to be the same person. Maybe worth messenging her through Facebook?

that wouldn't work. don't need the leading 7, drop the zero
+44 or 01144 7803083792 should do the job - remember the time zone - 5 hours later than Eastern time.
If it is an iPhone (haven't looked - if you have an iPhone the number would be green for non-iPhone, blue for iPhone) you can call or message for free on iMessage.
