Our latest Breed Information and Snoopy Fun Day was held on Sunday 21st October 2007 and though not as well attended as in the past, it was a fun day and most people who came along seemed to have a good time and also learned a little bit more about their beagles. At a rough count by the end of the morning, there were over around 60 people and accompanying beagles in attendance. It was a great sight seeing so many beagles of all shapes, colours and sizes - all obviously enjoying the day and being able to sniff each other and make new friends.

Beagles "meeting and greeting"!

Following a welcome from the President, Gwenda Golding, there were talks on General Care (Leanne Coffey assisted by Phoebe), the Club’s fun activities (John New), health issues (Bev James) and then a few hints on training your beagle (Pam Murphy).

We were then treated to a wonderful exhibition by a team from the AQIS Beagle Brigade. A huge thank you to Olivia, with Whiskey and Selby for coming along and showing us what a wonderful job these beagles are doing at the airport by helping to stop the illegal import of plants and food that could have a disastrous effect in Australia

The games were ably organised by Sue Bownds and were very hotly contested! Congratulations to all the winners and place-getters, even though some of you may not have won a prize you still got to go home with the best beagle/s!

There was also a chance to have the height of your beagle measured by Don James and then we finished off the morning with the drawing of the raffle. Several very happy people went home with prizes that had very kindly been donated. Special thanks to Julia Tissington who has become very adept at “twisting arms” and arranged a great donation from Petbarn.

A huge thank you to all the Committee that were there on the day. Everyone worked together very well and certainly helped make the day the success it was.
 

Thank you also to Ross Reid, our roving reporter for the morning – a job that he has made his own!
