On 7 June 2014 we turned back the clock to June 1914 and members participated in dressing-up for the spirit of the occasion.

The day started with our Summer Open Show with special prize cards for winners. Best in Show was awarded a special prize.

During the afternoon there were:

Stalls hosted by Branches & the Working Section with stallholders will be dressed in appropriate 1914 costumes
Display of Dancing with Dogs (Shelties of course)
Parade of Champions
Special Raffle & Centenary Raffle (£100 prize)
Judging of stalls and best dressed member by our guest of honour, Ferelith Summerfield. The prize for best stall went to the East Midlands Branch, with the Midlands Branch, the runner-up. The prize for the best dressed member went to Cheryl Lockett, with Mr Westermann, the runner-up.

The Working Section arranged Good Citizen tests and “Come and Try it” Agility during the day.
At the conclusion of the event, Ferelith cut the Centenary cake and we had a toast to the Club
