Secretaries report May 2008

Never mind David Beckham, we are also a global brand, thanks to the powers of the internet, northerndwarf.org, we are now welcoming members from the USA, and I would like to offer a very warm welcome to you all, many thanks for joining the Northern. Hope you had a chance to chat to our chairman Trevor who was across in April, flying the flag for us, ably assisted by his two minders, Max and Paddy!! (Nigel Atkinson and Kevin Farnsworth)

Of course our intermediate show will have passed by now, another set of winners and you know what that means, photos of the winners for next year’s “Hall of Fame” calendar.
Talking of photos, there are some great ones on the website, but as always we would welcome some more so please get in touch with Richard if you have any that you want putting on. While you are on the site have a look around there are some great deals to be had, Petplanet has great offers and they offer free delivery on rabbit food, so why not check out the prices.
Lots of people are after stock at the moment, so let us know of any surplus that you may have, and of course you can always put an advert on the website. We are having a trip to the southern Championship show in May so if any southern breeders need any stock bringing down we may be able to oblige!!

Kevin and Nigel at Bradford 2008

Please introduce yourselves to me and we can have a chat. It has been a wish of mine to visit one of your shows and see how things are done on a much larger scale than in the UK, I am really looking forward to it.
Hope to see you there.

Trevor Hoole
Chairman of the Northern Area Netherland Dwarf Rabbit Club.

Intermediate Show at Bury and Radcliffe 2008

Many thanks to everyone who supported the show, if you couldn’t make it we hope to see you at our Young Stock Show in September.

Thanks to Ros behind the table, a new face for us, and to the stewards especially Nigel on the book.

Many congratulations to Nigel Atkinson on BIS with a stunning REW

and to Lucy Wheal going best Junior with a brilliant Marten Smoke.

It was so nice to see Colin Bothamley out of hospital at the show looking so well.

You could not have written the script any better, not only was he best under 5 months in our show but he was Best Of Breed in the open show going onto Best In Show. Brilliant.
