I have to begin these notes with some very sad news, the passing of two gentlemen, George Rhodes, a major force in the starting of the Northern Dwarf, having held every position within the club. George was President when Deb and I were asked to become secretaries, and was a major force in guiding the Northern to where it is today. Not only was he a wonderful official for the club but a wonderful friend.
Secondly, David Buckland, a quiet man from Hull, a true gentleman and a regular supporter of our club.
Sincere condolences to their families.
I hope that you have enjoyed the YSS, with the extra show added this year, I hope we can make it a regular thing so let’s hope the entry was good.
We have lots of members requesting stock so please advertise what you have for sale, the only way to move the fancy forward is to make good stock available.
Our ASS is just around the corner at East Lancs where the “Burnley Brusier” and “Red Devil Ross” will have everything under control. We are in conjunction with the Lancs and Cheshire, who have a magnificent judge!! So 3 CCs on offer for each rabbit, sounds like a good deal to me.
Don’t forget to keep clicking www.northerndwarf.org and get your calendars reserved.
Keep in touch Gary and Deb. |

Over 100 dwarfs at our YSS, can’t remember the last time we had such an entry, many thanks for all your support. Congratulations to John and Carole Fletcher taking BIS with a stunning Black Otter, well deserved after showing so many, we really do appreciate your support. We were best under 14 weeks with a Siamese Sable. John and Carole also went best in the adult support show with a REW, and Simon Beynon headed the field in the yearbred show with a very nice marten sable, not forgetting Rheanne Sleightholme going best junior. Well done to you all, and to all the other winners.
It was great to give Ken a good turnout of dwarfs, after the very poor turnout two years ago. Ken has decided to bid a fond farewell to his judging after this show, so thanks for all your efforts behind the table Ken, it was nice that you could go out with a bang. |

I hope you have all returned your ballot papers, and enjoyed the newsletter, a bit different and keeps you aware of what is going on in the Northern. The YSS is only a week or so away, lets hope for a bumper entry, I know it clashes with London, my fault, but I hope it doesn’t affect us too much, but I will miss my kebab at 3 o’clock in the morning. Let’s hope the London committee move the show back to October then it won’t clash with the young stock shows and there will be dwarfs not full of moult and therefore left at home. We are looking for venues in the Northern area for our stock shows next year, so can you please let us have your ideas so we get the venues sorted.
Once again thanks to Richard we are having a calendar, ready for the ASS making it the ideal Christmas present for someone. I must remember to turn the page from May!
We really do need your adverts and articles for the yearbook, last years advert will be repeated unless you tell Richard of the changes that you need, unlike most footballers once you are in a contract with us it is permanent.
Don’t forget to keep clicking on the website, the stock for sale section is becoming very popular,
Keep in touch Gary and Deb.
