Kay Perkins, Show Manager, has asked us to mention that donations for the Raffle Table and Welfare Stall would be appreciated. Also please do not forget to return trophies that were won last year as someone will be disappointed if they win one and it is not available to take home.

A date for your diary. Discover Dogs will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th November 1999. The information I have says it's a "Delightful Day out for dog lovers and an informative and fun environment for the whole family to explore the wonders of dogs". You can book to attend this event on www.discover-dogs.org.uk The SGHC is often looking for Saluki representatives so if you are interested in attending as a club representative (Discovery Dogs is again held at Crufts so if there are sufficient representatives for this occasion, I am sure John Hudson would keep your name for Crufts) Please contact the Club Secretary, Dr John Hudson on tel.
