I met up with the SEWRC today, and was told I wouldn't be able to re-join the the NNWRF unless I paid a £20 fine for late return of a trophy. This was passed onto me via a club member from a Fed commitee member.
Well, I'll make my case known in a public domain.
In 2004, my dog Red Reign had an outstanding time and won Ch of Ch at the Highgate...it was brilliant.
In September 2005 I 'died' not my words, the words of my doctor, and if I hadn't awoken my 8 month pregnant wife at 3AM to get to the hospital, yep I would be no longer. I ended up in intestive care for over a week, and was advised I'd be in hospital for 8 weeks. With a lot of help Barts hospital allowed me go home, and have the district nurses in twice a day, while we waited for the birth of our child.
Two days after coming out of hospital I dragged a big heavy trophy down to the nearest engravers so that it could be returned for the 2005 champs. This I did and sent it up to Warwick with a another club member. However due to lure failures the trophy was not won, and came back to me. I didn't want it! And put it away.
In 2006 whilst recovering from illnesss, returning to work and living with new born baby, I was reminded I had to return the trophy again. I made a few calls, but I couldn't get it to anyone to be at the champs on time. Obviously this was disappointing for the winning owner, and I realise this myself.
But, to be told I'd have to pay a fine to rejoin, obviously means my presence is not welcome, as I know of at least one trophy that was returned late, and because they are 'in the crowd' no fine was imposed. Although I must admit it was offered.
To end, I tried my best to return the trophy, and had been genuinley ill, not some stupid work shy illness.
Kind Regards,
And A Happy New Year
