The Aussie Well it’s countdown now isn’t it…and not to Christmas – the Party in the Park? Chris Yes its Thursday 27 June. And we know that this is not an easy day for our supporters in full ?me employment and who have families. But Windsor rotates the days, so everyone has a weekday at some ?me. Next year it looks like it will be a Sunday. The Aussie How is the planning coming a long? Chris The schedules have been sent by email and some were distributed at a Championship Show. If you haven’t received your copy yet – let me know asap. There has been interest from newcomers to the breed and to showing and this is very exci?ng for us. We have offered some advance training and guidance and if you haven’t contacted me yet, please do so and we can organise something for you. The Aussie Will the format be the same? Chris That is the plan, why change something that seems to work well. To remind everyone, the Aussies will be judged as part of the Windsor Championship Show. Then once that is over, we will be allocated a ring and we can begin the Southern Coun?es Australian Terrier event. It will begin with the tradi?onal Pimms – a SCATC show is not party in the park without it! Then the members’ buffet, followed by the Judging. This year we are delighted that Peter Young has agreed to be our judge. He has had a long term interest in our breed. The Aussie This event is very important to the Club? Chris Yes it is. It is a chance for us to put Aussies in the limelight. GePng everyone there with their dogs, whether they are being shown or just want to come for a day out to meet other Aussies is very important to help our breed. Most years we have a great turnout and many fellow exhibitors and judges have rarely seen so many Aussies in same place at the same ?me. Sadly at the moment our numbers are in decline and we have to push hard to ensure we retain a sustainable level of Aussies in the UK. All of us who care about Aussies have to do our bit for the breed. The Aussie The Club gets involved with other ways to help Chris Yes, we do all that is possible. Much relies on the goodwill of owners with their Aussies. Every year we are really pleased at the help we get and the ?me, money and dedica?on that Aussie owners put into doing their bit. If everyone does a liUle, well it soon mounts up. The Aussie This year we are gePng a few clashes at events where we need to raise people’s awareness of the breed, which is making things more complicated. Chris You are right, this year Discover Dogs is going to clash with a Championship Dog Show. This will certainly make life challenging for us and we need support from everyone. We want to support the Aussie classes at the London and Home Coun?es Terrier Club, but this as usual clashes with the Sandringham Game Fair. The change of day for the Bath Championship dog show meant it clashed with the Burghley Game Fair. These are just a couple of instances. So please if you would like to do your bit to help the breed, do contact me. And don't think we only want show dogs to be the breed representa?ves. Most people are not looking for a show dog, they want a companion. So if you don’t show your Aussie, you are exactly who the visitors want to see and want to chat to. So come on volunteers. Everyone who does it seems to have fun. The Aussie Aussie owners who came to the Thame Game Fair seemed to enjoy themselves. Chris Absolutely. Owners rarely meet another Aussie and it was fun to see the Aussies gePng together and having a great ?me playing and the owners chaPng away sharing informa?on and knowledge. Our Facebook page was really buzzing a\erwards. The Aussie That’s the goal isn’t it – of trying to get all the Aussies and their owners together and enjoying their day out with their Aussies. Thanks Chris, we await the news from our show in the next edi?on of ‘The Aussie’.
