We had around 214 entries from 56 different dogs from as far afield
as Sheffield and Welwyn Garden City and of course all around the
local area. An enjoyable, if sometimes damp, day was had by all.

Thanks to our judges, Bill Botten and Lesley Taggart, and all who
helped to make the day a success.
In addition, this year there were two memorial classes in memory of
two dearly loved dogs in aid of Cancer Research UK. There were 45
entries raising £90 for this worthwhile cause.
The winners were Maggie May (Greyhound) and Rogan (French
Bulldog).

Despite the road closure in place we are still proceeding with this event, the weather even promises to be fairly kind. To access the Village Hall from the South (Corby) please detour through Cottingham or Gretton. We look forward to seeing you.
