The 31st October/1st November Swift got another run at the Open Qualifier of the Three Ridings Labrador Club at Wykeham, North Yorkshire.

On the 2nd day after the second run-off (!) the judges Mr. P. Cole, Mr. K. Helliwell and Mr. B. Shepherd decided to give the first price to John Halstead jun. with „Moss“ and the 2nd price to Daniel with  „Swift“. This almost would have been the qualification for the IGL-Championship!
