Ticking off the list.

Posted on by

We’ve “done” an eye testing notification, Crufts closing date, AGM, January KC Kennel Journal, Open Show schedules, committee minutes, critiques and asked if people would be interested in a calendar for 2018? Think that’s the main bulk done. Obviously there has to be a reminder about paying breed club memberships…..we all forget these things but they do need to be done so Jean (EFG) and Noel (Association) would love to have an envelope from you and so would the various secretaries and treasurers of the Glen of Imaal Terrier Clubs around the world. Oh yes, don’t forget National Terrier-Glen judge Peter Bakewell-closes February 17(postal).

So it’s now time for the annual hibernation. Best of luck if you are entered for Westminster, if you have misplaced your EFG Open Show schedule it can be downloaded from here and we’ll close with a photograph that says Glen of Imaal Terriers CAN do it, just believe!

How about a calendar for 2018?

Posted on by

Last year the EFG did a Glen of Imaal Terrier calendar to celebrate 20 years since the club’s formation. Such was the interest that the initial run was doubled. It was intended to be a one off but there have been many requests for another one so we’re asking…….would Glen of Imaal Terrier owners, enthusiasts and admirers like another one for 2018? It has already been suggested we should.

If Glen people worldwide would like one we’re more than happy to run the same system as last year. Your best/favourite Glen photographs to be sent electronically, they would then be shortlisted purely on quality of reproduction basis. They would then be sent “blind” (no names of dogs, photographers, country etc.) to the EFG committee who would decide the final calendar. Mobile phone photographs could also be accepted as they could form part of the montage on the front.

Interested in a 2018 calendar? Do let Jean Rogers know jean@e-f-g.co.uk

Open Show Survey

Posted on by

Why don’t Glen of Imaal Terriers go to many Open Shows now? They used to get big entries from the breed and often Glens would be in the top six for numbers but not anymore. All breeds though are seeing a decline at this level of showing and there is a survey online (by Dog World & Lintbells) to see what people think and if they have any ideas for change. Give it a go.
