This year we are grateful to Cobby Dog for sponsoring our Dog walk.

The day was a great success yet again. Thank you all for coming and supporting us. We never know how many people and dogs will respond to our invitation, but yet again we were not disappointed. 80+ dogs and their families came along to enjoy the day. Some travel so far that it is necessary for them to make it into a mini break in the homeland of the Airedale Terrier ( Bingley in Airedale ).
This year we were back at the Scout Hall;our original venue. This enabled us to have two circular walks of different lengths; covering river and canal side, woodland and views over Airedale. We are grateful to one of our volunteer marshals who this year supplied us with two way radios. This helped us keep a closer check as to where all the walkers were. The walkers usually walk in small groups, chatting as they go about all the wonderful and amusing things their Airedales do. I saw one Airedale completely submerged ( except for his head and neckerchief ) in the river Aire!
Back at the Scout Hall our secretary and team of helpers, were very busy preparing tasty nourishment for the hungry walkers on their return. Delicious home baked cakes made by our president, along with tea, coffee and soft drinks were available all day.
The raffle was very popular, especially as there were so many excellent prizes. We are grateful to one of our committee members for organizing this. Another popular attraction was advice on how to have a go at hand stripping your pet Airedale and some people enjoyed the challenge of wrapping their patient Airedales up in toilet roll paper. Aren',t our Airedales wonderful?

Y. & E. C. A. T. C. Open Show 18th March

Mr G. Corish was our judge and he had an entry of 23 dogs but there were 10 absent. Unfortunately the date of the show coincided with Mothers' Day causing a clash of interests. We must be aware of this when planning future events.
Our judge did not let this deter him and he carefully went over the 13 dogs who attended. He Chose Nigel and Helen Toulson's Toulsyork Delfy Dexter as Best Dog and Best in Show and their bitch Toulsyork Effulgent as Best Bitch and Reserve Best in Show. Best Puppy went to Jim and Mary Morris's Nedella Gambling Man
