The 2008 Fun Day has come and gone, with everyone having a great day out with family and dogs. A fantastic afternoon tea, provided by the committee, soon disappeared off the tables. (You know, all the usual nonfattening things, sponge cakes, sausage rolls, trays and trays of sandwiches and pancakes.

Our "Youngsters" class was well supported with an entry of 13, won by Sally with Pamela Fisher. The "Golden Oldies" was won by Jimmy with Kelly Ludwig from a class of six. The "Childrens Parade" winner was Alice handled by Laura Foss from an entry of 13. The winner of the class for "Dog Most Like Its Owner" was Daisy looking like David Williamson from 12 entered. The "Waggiest Tail" could not be disputed in Arthur handled by Bill (sorry no surname) – there were 18 waggy tails in this class – and that was just the dogs!! The "Fancy Dress" class drew an entry of 13, which had the very topical theme of The Olympics, was hilarious. All owners are to be congratulated on their skills and imagination. The winner was "Judo" Jimmy with Kelly Ludwig. We had runners, swimmers, cyclists – yes, cyclists, a gymnast and a Team GB mascot. We had a class of "Twins" won by Jimmy and Luna from an entry of 12. The ever popular sausage catching competition, attended by all dogs on the day – the hall was packed – ended in a draw by Snoopy, Captain Bert and Daisy. They were all too good for us this year and we ran out of sausages!!!! The class of "Saddest Eyes" was won by Roxy handled by Keir Hamilton. The photographic competition was won by Sylvia Beaumont.

Our Judge for the day, Mrs Sheana Martin of the famous Shered Schnauzers, commented that her judging appointment at Crufts 2009 should be a 'doddle' after this!!!!
