Bradford 2008 Day two.

Hannah Copeland, Northern Dwarf Member is proclaimed Junior of the year by the BRC.

Day two is traditionally the socialising day of the 2 day event, Duplicates are judged, the auctions try to raise money for next years show.

The Northern Dwarf was situated with the National Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club, the Lancashire and Cheshire Dwarf Circle and the North Eastern Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club.

The Northern Dwarf Stand becomes a hive of activity, members coming from all over the country to pay their Subs and buy calendars, drink tea and chat and generally have a good time. Is is just me or is the dwarf fancy the happiest?

Secretaries Report for January

A successful year for the Northern, entries up at the shows with the exception of the ASS, membership up and new committee members wow!

The ASS was at East Lancs, Trevor behind the table making Nigel Atkinson’s Black Otter his best, the same rabbit also going best in the Lancs and Cheshire ASS, another otter, Alan Wheals went best in the host club under yours truly. Well done to everyone, including Lucy Wheal who swept the board in the Juniors with a cracking Marten Smoke.

How about this, we have a website under construction, the details will be available for the stand at Bradford, then you can join us on the worldwide web. Many thanks to Richard for dragging us into the 21st Century.

Catering for your traditionalists we are producing a Northern Dwarf Calendar, so if you don’t want to find out when all the shows are at the click of a mouse, you can write them on a calendar. you’ve guessed it we are producing Northern Dwarf pens to write on the calendars. Who says that we don’t think of everything.

The AGM went very well, nothing controversial to report, proposed that we add a yearbred show to the young stock show to cater for those dwarfs that are too old for the YSS but not big enough to compete with the big boys. Everyone was in agreement so you have now got a show for all your new year babies.
