SECRETARY’S REPORT Dear members, I have to say that it is good to be writing a report again to appear in the yearbook, I know that a lot of members look forward to their yearbook, so we are glad to be able to publish one again for reporting events in 2021. I would like to thank my fellow officers and committee for all their hard work in the last few years, it also does make it very rewarding when we get lovely feedback form members and exhibitors for all the hard work, we do for you. The AGM was held in November last year at The Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh, it was a shame that there wasn’t many members in attendance, but you can look at it, that you are happy with how we are running the club so you thought there wasn’t a need to attend, but we really would like to see our members attending the AGM, we find it a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere to be able to catch up with you all. Please remember that the officers and committee are there to serve the membership, so please let any of us know of any issues, and we will do our best to rectify it for you. We must say a big thank you to the four committee members than stood down at the AGM for all their hard work, Mrs Carole Coode, Mrs Geraldine Thompson, Mrs Paula Cullis and Mr Steve Cullis. I was a pleasure to welcome Sarah Winter to her position as Field Trial secretary and we wish her luck in the position. In July we held our cancelled 2020 championship show and our 2021 championship show at our new venue Pure Agility, Statfold, Tamworth, it took me some time to find this venue and I believe what a find it was, sadly there was nothing I could do about the weather, the shows were held outside, so it was either going to be a very wet day or a very hot day and yes we got the latter, which did affect the dogs, exhibitors and judges. I would like to thank Maxine, David, Alison, Caron, Shaun, Jane, and my dad for helping with the set up the day before the show, it was nice to see our four lovely gazebos with the club logo and name on them. Our dog judge was Mrs Ann Britton (Bowstone) and bitch judge was Mrs Mac Percival (Wynfaul), Mrs Britton awarded her CC to Hodge’s Naiken East Meets West (AI) JW, res CC to Grummitt & Dempsey IR Sh Ch Dromtacker Made To Order (IKC), Best Puppy dog Hutchinson’s Glosmere Ragamuffin, Mrs Percival awarded her CC to Campbell’s Binnaig Brene, res CC Braddon’s Trendlewood Simply The Best JW, Best Puppy bitch to Powell’s Clairstone Sweet Memory of Seatallan (DMK) NAF.
