" .... there is a [Bernese Mountain Dog] breed seminar scheduled for 14th October run under the auspices of the Breed Council (joint venture between the Central and GB clubs). It will probably be the last in the current format as we herald in the new dawn of the JCF. There were several candidates on various ‘lists’ around the clubs who had expressed a wish to attend such seminars and this is being run to cater for those individuals who are close to, or have been offered appointments but are just lacking the final ‘tick in the box’ as it were.
"However, we can accommodate a couple more, so .... if there is anyone interested in attending on the 14th October (Its at Nether Whitacre, B46 2EH) to contact myself in the first instance please and I’ll do my best to accommodate them.
"I can be contacted at Bramikdel.bernese@btinternet.com or 07432 621200 (usually on voicemail during the day if I’m at work)."
