ISLE OF MAN CONSTABULARY DOG SECTION 1993 One Day show The Isle of Man Constabulary has the smallest dog section in the United Kingdom, but this did not stop them , from holding, on Thursday 5 August last year, a 'one day dog show' in conjunction with the Royal Manx Agricultural Show. Nine handlers and their dogs , representing Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and British Transport Police took part ina competition based on Part One of Home Office Schedule of Training, which was judged by Mr Ron Dean , Retired Chief Inspector, Dog Section, Lancashire Constabulary. After several hours of intense, but good natured competition, the eventual winner was Police Constable Wally Sherington and his dog Ben, representi ng Merseyside Above: Chase and attack exercise - PS Reilly (Greater Manchester Police and Kelly) Criminal - PC Phil Wilson (10M) Right:PC Wally Sherrington (Merseyside Police) and Ben receive their trophies from the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man, His Excellency Air Marshall Sir Laurence Jones 36 Service Dog Police. He also won the trophies for 'Best Obedience' and 'Best Criminal Work' sections.

B arro wmore Industries BARROWMORE VILLAGE SETTLEMENT The story sofar For all listeners to good stories or radio serials there has to be a punch line at the end to make you buy next week's edition or switch on the radio 'at the same time tomorrow evening' . The technique is as valid today in Neighbours as it was 40 years or more ago in Dick Barton or Mrs Dale's Diary! In the last edition of The Service Dog we left you with news of the opening of our Nursing Home in June last year which, while it says a lot about Barrowmore says nothing at all about dogs - guard, war, sniffer or even Auntie Maud's pet poodle. However, read on dear reader, read on. The story today The Nursing Home, which had an honourable mention in the last edition has now been officially opened by Prince Andrew and all our ex-Service residents were able to meet him individually. Almost 50% of our residents are ex-servicemen or women. One fought at Paschendale, another was captured at Dunkirk, was marched to Poland by the Germans and spent the rest of the war in captivity, yet another was in Pathfinder bombers. We told you, also , in the last edition that Barrowmore Industries was innovative and had diversified into new products. Those new products were only ' new ' for a short length of time and are now well established in our product range to the extent that in the financial year 1993/4 dog kennels and training aids together produced more than one third of our total turnover and became our largest selling product line. Much of our design work was carried out in conjunction with our customers and kennels are custom made to their own specifications. Almost all our production goes to police forces and the services. The stability that production of dog kennels gave us during the recession has enabled us to make further improvements to our core product range of garden sheds and fencing panels. We have also been able to extend our customer base for kennels to provide further work for our disabled workers. The story for the future Everything changes but everything stays the same. Our greatest handicap is our greatest strength. Two apparently contradictory statements which make perfect sense. Everybody has heard about the management of change and the adoption of BS 5750 as a standard of quality management. Barrowmore is working hard to achieve BS 5750 registration and, by the time of the next edition we will be in the middle of the assessment period. However, it is rightly said that BS 5750 is only the management system for the quality of our products - our products should be and are of the sanle high quality that they have always been. More than 80% of our production workers are disabled. Our workforce is our greatest strength but in our particular case they all have a handicap. We are all, I hope, trying to make an honest penny and Barrowmore is no different to the rest of us - we just have to work harder at it. Our next target will be the Investors in People registration which will demonstrate our commitment to our disabled workers. Watch this space! Service Dog 37
