This brings a few things back; BOBA at the TAVR Hall im Maidenhead, and at Holyport for the Christmas show; BCGB at Old Windsor.
There are quite a few people in South Central these days and while we don't expect to have club shows south of the Thames any more, venues like Roade while not further south are much easier for us than Brampton or Alconbury because we avoid the M25 on a Sunday evening. -

Hi Steve
I'd like to see the pics etc. You can get my email from my website.
See you Saturday.
Vicki
The picture links should be with you, enjoy!
My little girl seem to be protesting at being shown two day running at the weekend and is not happy stacking at the moment, so I may be in for a rough ride. I have the option of taking her to a Match tonight but I think I will give it a miss.
Good luck for the Show.
Steve.

That's ok ;)
I have a picture of me at a club show when I was about 5 or 6, so about 27 years or so ago and we stayed with Elspet in Windsor so would that have been when they were held further down?That certainly was the time when the shows were down in the Thames Valley. I judged the BOBA Christmas Open Show in 1985 and that was at the TA Hall in Maidenhead.

Yes indeed! Oh dear, I fear we are going to start sounding like Old Codgers.
"Old Codgers" the definition is of advanced years and seen as slightly eccentric or amusing, so I suppose it is very apt! I think the slightly eccentric is a prerequisite for Dog showing.
Some of us old codgers are not looking forward to getting up at 3.00 am tomorrow morning to drive up to Blackpool!
