May I say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who bought things from my "Bring and Buy" stall. All the donations were so appreciated and unsold bits and pieces are being given to the Blue Cross charity shops.

I am delighted to say that a total of £238.25 has now been raised with more to come (when I find the time to make ordered customised knitted whippets!).

We hear you all had a brilliant day. I knew I would be sorry not to be there to video the finals for the lovely people whose dogs won them, but we had a lovely time away. I haven't seen the full results yet, but did hear that our dear friends the Blue Gang won again with NPWRCh Blue and White Dynamite breaking the record of wins for the group :thumbsup: :teehee: absolutely brilliant news! You are so dedicated travelling all those miles from Scotland to race with us, and the racing world is a better place for it.

Also heard that Armistice Day is now a Champion for Julia and Vince, well deserved, and so good to hear after his accident earlier in the year. Also happy to hear that Conway Belle came 3rd in the final, it's only her 2nd open, and she is ahead of her littermates in getting a line in her passport :huggles:

Congratulations to all other winners - will look forward to seeing the rest of the results :thumbsup:

Had a great day. Good to see friends who we haven't caught up with since last year. Well done to all the group winners but especially to Vince and Julia. It was great to see Armistice Day gain his title. Another well done to Jane who looked like she would burst with pride when Quiver gained his 1/2 coat.

The photos are brilliant as usual, Rob. I love this one of Axl with dirt flying!

Had a great day again. I was lovely to see you Kay and hope the arm stops hurting soon. Congratulations to all the winners but especially the new half coats and Champs.

Vince and Julia - We were so pleased for you both to see Armistice Day gain his title. He's a lovely dog and his title is much deserved. Hopefully your run of bad luck is on the turn :thumbsup:

And Gill - you lucky thing - do hope you enjoy your new puppy.

Great pics Alan & Rob. Loved the ones of Hazard and littermates Axel & Tia.

Thank you Janice. Reg gave Jest a good run for his money. So sorry that Tara is injured. Poor Ozzie and Ron got injured in their finals. Shame that you couldn't make it because it was a very good day with some great close finishes. Lots of young dogs really running well and showing how good they are. Scarey stuff for those of us with older ones.

I am over the moon with Jest he's always given 100% even if his star hasn't shined as brightly as his littermates he's always been and always will be the best that there is to me. It's nice for someone to actually mention him and congratulate him for once on here. :thumbsup:

Congratulations to the handsome Jest :cheers: You must be over the moon Barbara
