Dog trials committee chairman Mike Joyce said with the recent settling of accounts he was able to announce the event raised $12,000 for Hospice Southland, which was ‘‘a couple of grand more than last year’’.
The three-day event attracted 130 triallists from throughout the South Island.
The trials, which have been held since 2016, had raised about $73,000 for charity in that time, Mr Joyce said.
The committee was grateful to the businesses which sponsored prizes and the volunteers who helped run the event, he said.
