Our latest Breed Information and Snoopy Fun Day was held on Sunday 13 September 2009 and it went very well. 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. It was the first time "in the chair" for our new elected President, Robert Lucas and he did a great job keeping everything going.

At a rough count by the end of the morning, there was 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.

Some of the crowd listening to the talks

   

Following a welcome from the President, Robert Lucas, there were talks on general care (Sue Bownds), the Club’s fun activities (John New), feeding and health issues (Bev James), Beagle Rescue and Rehoming (Gwenda Golding) and then a few hints on training your beagle and a demonstration of what can be achieved (Brian Martin & family).

The games were organised by Sue Bownds helped by several members 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 . Then we finished off the morning with the drawing of the raffle and several very happy people went home with prizes that had very kindly been donated.

A huge thank you to all the Committee and members that helped 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 well done!
