Usk Valley Working Gundog Club was formed, by a few individuals interested in training their dogs to a reasonable standard. The ‘roots’ of the Club were planted back in the early 1990’s when two couples, Ron and Barbara Hempstead and Pat and Howard Williams, met every week to train their dogs. The club was formed, and the inaugural meeting was held on Sunday, 29th March 1992, where the first committee was elected from those ‘members’ present at The Carpenters Arms, near Chepstow. The club was then registered with the Kennel Club,
