A brill entry at Carlisle, thanks to everyone who entered, there were lots of non area members showing, how much we welcome the support of people from out of the area, at our very friendly club. Carlisle is a long way for some members, but it is within our area boundary, which has been there for many many years, and just like Germany without the Berlin wall, there is nothing to stop exhibitors from other clubs, who are not members, crossing the boundary and exhibiting their dwarfs. And what you have remember is the exhibitors in Carlisle have a long way to travel to the other venues, but they do. Kevan did his usual efficient job behind the judging table, as did all three judges, juggling with the same rabbits, ensuring the day ran smoothly. Our BIS was Lillop Stud with a cracking Chinchilla adult, a new winner for the Northern let’s hope it is the first of many. In the National, Deanna Williams, not sure what stud name she is this month!!!, only joking Deanna, took all before her with a wonderful under 5 months Marten Sable, well deserved after the support she gives all the area and National clubs, no matter which area they are. Russell had everything in order in the catering department, even to the extent of a stunning cake, adorned with famous rabbits, to celebrate the National and the Northern holding their shows there. That is what showing is all about, competition with friendship. Hope to see you all out and about at the shows, the next stock show is the Lancs and Cheshire in June at East Lancs, with the aforementioned R Smith behind the table, we will be there even though we are not members, even though it is a long way cos we nearly live in East Anglia now! |

At last the news you have all been waiting for, badges have arrived, pin on or sew on, take your pick, or better still why not have both. So please get your orders to us so you can display the Northern with pride, at all the agricultural shows this summer. I am sure that the there are many white coats out there with tatty, old badges, faded in the wash, so act now and wear one with pride.
People who are acting now are Andy, Kathy and family from Megabucks stud, going BOB with a stunning Marten Sable at the Scottish club show, making him a quadruple champion. Keeping the Scottish flag flying are Polly and Bruce from Cinabun stud, making their two Chinchillas single and double champions, and finally Harry Bell, Goyt Valley stud, making his two Himalayans single champions. Well done to you all, and you don’t have to have a stud name to register a champion.
Quiet around the shows in our area, it’s a struggle to find shows with dwarf judges. I know that this view upsets people. It seems that you have to be on lots of panels to get judging engagements, so over to you dwarfs judges now, you have to be proactive, contacting secretaries to offer your services. The Lancs and Cheshire (the friendly circle) have offered Russell Smith the chance to judge, he will have done the deed by the time you are reading these, I hope you have all supported him. |
