The TADTC Obedience Championship was held on the first sunny weekend in nearly three months, which certainly made for an enjoyable event.

TADTC would like to say a big thank you to all the people who helped make the show a success. 

Firstly to our judges – Ruth Deacon, Paula Holmes, Dennis Rodgers, Mark Thornton, June Rippon, Meredith Pitcher, Sue Cooper – and stewards – Ted Willis, Stephen Harris, Kelvin Howell, Murray Aamodt, Tony Martin, Robyn How. 

Thanks also to Norm Claude for being Test Manager for us once again.  Although not a committee member this year, Anthea Finlayson kindly volunteered to coordinate everything as Show Secretary. 

Lastly, but certainly not least, thanks to the club members and their families who helped set up, call steward, do hot scents, cater, and tidy up afterwards.
