Xmas Run-off 2018

This was arranged for December 4th 2018 and held at Little Lever Working Mens Club – our venue for the NW Training class and our judge for this event was Andy Mayren – Fergiestaffs

Not a fantastic attendance but enough to give proceedings some atmosphere and sufficient dogs including the latest clutch of puppies in the North West to give some competition.

It was obvious that Claire Crossman had put in a  lot of effort to make this evening a success and thanks to her and Paul for their splendid effort – witness the raffle, worthy of a Champ Show.

A nice touch for the winners a celebratory bottle of Prosecco with laminated winner cards and very shiny trophies – very professional.

The refreshments were spot on as you can see from this shot

And we even had a cake with the NW logo’s

At the end of the Run-offs we have the fancy dress – see below for photos for this year and who was awarded the best fancy dress – for a taster though here is Tony Webster with his new puppy Frejya (Elitebull Hydra) – left

 It’s customary to gift a present to the Venue staff and this year was no exception; here the manager receiving some flowers from Club Chairman Archie Bryden and Club Secretary Claire Crossman.
