A new competition has been launched for all Junior Dogs and Bitches in memory of our late President Deidre Jenkins, known to you all as one half of the famous 'Amcross' partnership.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW HELD ON MARCH 2ND 2014
A thoroughly enjoyable day was had by all at this our 40th Anniversary Championship Show. Exhibitors were welcomed with a free prize ticket attached to their catalogues, plus an anniversary card and a Tibbie bookmark.
Free tea and coffee was offered all day, and the committee supplied their usual fine fare with bacon butties the order of the morning, ably organised and cooked by Adele (that's Tania Hayman's mum!)
As well as the free prize, there was china giftware, Tibbie adorned, for sale, a Whisky draw, raffle, and the all the prizewinners were inundated with prizes, and special rosettes coutesy of Sheila Thomson, who also did some lovely rosettes for the committee to wear!
At lunchtime, the Anniversary cake (made & donated by Janet Didymus) was ceremoniously cut by our special guests
