24/01/10 - Belated ‘Happy New Year’ to you all.  Classes resumed on 4th January and due to the snow we had to cancel one weeks training - we have added this week on to the end of the courses. Updates to Recent Achievements, and to Events page. 2010 is a very special year for the club as we will have been in existence for 50 years, which we think is one huge achievement.  To celebrate our ‘50th Anniversary’ we are planning several social events throughout the year. This will obviously depend on the level of support we get - so please keep an eye open on the website and on notice boards in the Hal for details.

11/10/09 - Updates to Recent Achievements and Rainbow Bridge pages.  We are still struggling to keep pace with the demand for places within the club.  We have now started to have a couple of classes on a Tuesday night to try and clear the backlog - how long this will continue no-one as yet knows.  Social events - 29th October - another Quiz Night - this was very well attended earlier in the year and was great fun.  Please come and join us, maximum 6 per team at The Seven Sisters Pub.  See notices in Hall for further details.  Also Christmas Dinner now arranged - Weds 9th December at Seaford Golf Club. Again see notices for more details.

Finally for now, please be aware that Kennel Cough is still around.  If you can, please speak to your vet about protection against it and if your dog starts to cough, please KEEP AWAY from the Club. We don’t want to find ourselves in the position we did last year and have to close for a few weeks.

10/08/09 - Recent Achievements updated as well as Links pages. Sadly we have another 2 dogs to add to our friends at Rainbow Bridge. I hope their owners can send me a little written piece before our next update.

03/04/09 - Updates to Recent Achievements page.  Link added to Berriewood Wholesale - home delivery service of in particular frozen dog food - for those who feed a BARF diet to their dogs, as well as other major brands of dog food/treats etc. We are running the photo competition again this year.  50p per entry.  Details can be found in Diane’s desk on club night.  Please note - Club will be closed on Easter Monday.

09/03/09 - very many CONGRATULATIONS - to Karen Bingham and Mysha on achieving 2nd place at Crufts in the Special Puppy bitch class.  Also they entered the Good Citizen Breed class and came a very credible Reserve. Well done - I think you may well be the first from our club to go to Crufts.

24/02/09 - Recent Newsletter added as well as more holiday recommendations.  On 5th March the club will be holding a fun Quiz Night at the Seven Sisters Public House in Alfriston Road. All are welcome - please try and raise a team and join in the fun.  Please see notices in the hall.

16/01/09 - We continue to have never ending waiting lists for the bronze course. In an effort to help these people until they get a place on a course Gill (one of our trainers) will be holding weekend training sessions on two Saturdays in February. These will be in half hour sessions for one to three people at £8 per session (so a one to one session will cost you £8 but should you share the lesson then you share the cost). These sessions are for dogs aged 6 months and over and will be general obedience training up to Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme Bronze course standard but may address any specific problem you have. If you are interested in attending one or more of these lessons please phone Gill Martin on 01323 893184 (if you have trouble contacting Gill phone Diane on 01323 899032)

09/01/09 - Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to classes!  We are experimenting this term with running our puppy classes for just 6 weeks.  With a little bit of work put in every day we believe they should be able to graduate within this timeframe. For those interested, we will then start them on a pre-Bronze course until they can join the following term. Updates to Recent Achievements, Members Recommendations, Rescue pages as well as minor alterations on some Trainers pages.
