Every Year some members of the Club go to Germany for the Sieger Show which was in Nuremberg this year. As you can see any thoughts of wet Sunday afternoons were forgotten.......................

Open Show - October 2009
A record number of entries on a dry day - what more could we ask? One of our committee members, Tina Melsome suggested that, due to the date, we celebrate Halloween!!! She is now our "Special Events Co-ordinator"!!!
A full car park!!
Val Andrews with Barney "Temelora Cosmos", a Papillon.
With the number of entries and a split Novice class the stay ring was busy for most of the day.
The "Graveyard"
This was the biggest raffle for some time.
Dennis Vessey, the breed judge, with one of the puppy classes.
Due to circumstances beyond our control it recently became necessary to upgrade the toilet facilities at the training ground. This was very hard work involving a hole, a large tank and three tons of stones. Thanks to the usual committee members for their hard work over several days.

The most important person on site!!!!! Shirley with her ever-ready teapot!!!
It has been many years since the Club has remained closed on a Sunday but this was the scene on Sunday 8th February 2009. One of our members in a 4x4 braved the hill out of Hennock to record this picture of the Training Ground. Hennock had been cut off for 3 days. Only 4x4's and tractors were able to get in and out of the village!
Roy's Retirement. Roy Lewis has been a member of the Club for over 40 years, most of these spent as the obedience trainer at the Plymouth Branch. When the Plymouth Branch was forced to close in 2007 Roy decided that it was time to retire as a trainer. Much to Roy's surprise he was made a Life Member of the Club and presented with a bronze statue of a German Shepherd at the 2007 A.G.M.

This was the largest team that we have ever had at this well-known show. 18 dogs were in action in the arena at the same time.
The car parks for the show were all full by 2pm so a huge crowd were watching our display.
The dogs were from all ages and stages of training (so were the handlers!!!). Young dogs were required to drop out before the agility section.
