E D I T O R I A L

Firstly, let me wish you all the very best for 2018 and I hope everyone
had a good Christmas and New Year. We have a bumper Newsletter this
time with lots of news and photos from abroad which I hope you will enjoy.
It’s lovely to read about what is happening in the world with other Mastiff
clubs and it feels that, with the internet, we are all so much closer. I believe
the first Mastiff World Cup was very successful and we look forward to the
next one in two years time in Italy. Lets get ourselves sorted and arrange a
group trip – what fun ‘Carry On Camping with Mastiffs’!
We have two new committee members who have joined our team –
so thank you to George Zadeh and Steve Coulman-Hole for giving your time
and energies to helping run the club.
A warm welcome to our new members and I hope they enjoy the
Newsletter and being part of our club. We look forward to welcoming you to
the shows and fun days etc., that the club holds each year. Also, please don’t
forget that if you have any questions regarding your mastiff or the club, then
feel free to contact one of the committee who will do their best to help.
We are in the process of designing a new website to help everyone
gain better and quicker access to news, shows, results plus up to date
information on health, feeding and breeding. If there is anything that anyone
feels should be added to the website let me know and we would be happy to
consider it.
We have two new champions – congratulations to Birch and Aspen
and also well done Henry on achieving Bronze in the Good Citizen Award
scheme. If anyone reading this has done similar, or their mastiff has been
awarded anything, or they have just done something lovely, funny or brave,
then please send me your photo and details. I will be pleased to share this in
one of our forthcoming newsletters which appear in May and September.
With best wishes,
Caroline Hesketh
