June 2009: Challenge Day
I would like to, on behalf of the committee express our sincere thanks to everyone who supported the challenge on 14th June at Swanley and our congratulations go to Sharon Smith for winning Best In Show, a full list of the results are printed later in the newsletter.
To enter a competition requires a huge commitment in preparing the dogs, vast amounts of courage, mixed with excitement, nerves, doubts and fears when you have all these things and more the adrenaline kicks in and you are hooked.
Entering your first competition it is a truly courageous thing to-do even for the more confident .So to those of you first timers this year we applaud you and look forward to seeing you next year, and to the spectators who thought they may give it a go, we would be thrilled if you joined us in 2010 and experienced the excitement that is competing.
