Mr Ian Stedman-Brown, PRO for the Saluki or Gazelle Hound Club has forwarded The following message: "Please will you place the following on a naggingly continual basis until the eve of the SGHC Championship show? (1). Don't forget the auction of a signed copy of The Saluki in Art History and Sport at the Champ show. Sealed bids can also be made direct to John Hudson (Secretary Hudson) the highest of which will be used to set the reserve price on the day.(2). Anyone who has pre-1970 photographs that they would be willing to loan for an exhibition of such like at the champ show are asked to contact me on 01590 676340 any time or ian@saluki.freeserve.co.uk so that I can discuss arrangements with them"

A couple of weeks ago, Helen and myself were invited to attend the Afghan Hound Association Championship Show. The Club had wanted to make a very special event to celebrate the millennium. Members had elected from a ballet, two American judges. Also in honour of this very special day, a very special venue had been booked, namely Stanford Hall, which is located right off the M1 near Rugby. Stanford Hall is a beautiful stately home with a large lake in front, home of the Stanford Hall swans. Marquees were set up on the lawns between the house and the lake in . After the judging, everyone got together for a barbeque, which was catered by the club. It was really a special occasion. Perhaps in a couple of years we could share the venue and have a back to back show with the AHA.

Leeds Championship Show was last Sunday. Our judge for Saluki was Mrs D Merchant -Giles as Mavis Shellard the originally appoined judge was too ill to judge. BOB,DCC was Mrs P. Kendall's Ch Gulzar Al-Mutakabbir with RDCC to our own and Mrs R. Redfern's Ch El Hamrah's Mehrab-Khalifa (imp). BCC was MessrsD. Wieden & F. Farrar's Ch Sedeki Irada. RBCC was Mr R. Goodby's Wahiba Emma. Best Puppy was J.E. Jeffrey's Mabrooka Jamil of Rivenswift. Well done all!!.
