Kelly love (Manager) at the ‘Victoria Sports and Social Club’ will be
doing a deep clean of the hall so it will be closed to all members and

I shall be informing all members of this decision but please I would

Annual Championship Obedience Show

By

East Grinstead’s annual Championship Obedience Show was held on 19th October at the South of England Showground in Ardingly. This is a prestigious and long-standing event licensed by the Kennel Club.

The Show was a great success with many club members involved in running the Show. There are jobs that anyone can help out with, no experience necessary, from helping to steward the stay exercises to being a ‘decoy’ in the scent exercises. 

Pictured are the winners of the Championship classes:

  • Trisha Jones winning the Dog class with Cloud (judge Anita Neal),
  • and Mary Ray winning the Bitch class with Lyric (judge Pat Batchelor). 

The winners of Championship classes go forward to compete in the Crufts Obedience Championships in March 2020.

Well done to all who took part in a thoroughly enjoyable day.
