With these dark times in the world the
Committee of Blackpool Championship
show decided to apply to The Kennel
Club for the dates of 25th - 27th
September 2020 to hopefully hold our
show. As we wanted to try and put the
mojo back into the world of dogs and
hopefully give us all something to focus
on and look forward to. Hopefully more
shows will follow.
This has not been easy by any means,
as most of you know this takes a lot of
planning and hard work to reschedule a
championship show. We have contacted
judges, trade stands, Stewards, suppliers
and food vendors to see if they are happy required.
to participate in our 2020 show. Whilst
most of the judges have confirmed
they are willing to join us, some have
not been able to due to prior events or
appointment’s and most trade stands
and food vendors are looking forward
to joining us. We do respect and totally
understand that some people are not
happy to possibly put themselves or
elderly family members at risk and we
look forward to seeing you back with us in
2021.
We are still mindful of the situation in
the world so we will be putting in place
temperature taking on arrival, plenty of
hand sanitizer dispensers around the
show ground and constant cleaning and
sanitising of toilets. As we have a 12 acre
K9 NEWS DIGITAL / JULY 2020
show site there is plenty of room for small
pop-up tents gazebo’s no larger than 6ft
x 6ft and you must bring your own chairs
so there will be no cross contamination,
so plenty of room for social distancing on
site.
Entry will open on Fosse Data Website
on Monday 10th August for 3 weeks
only, there will be no printed schedules
available as this is not cost effective and
there are no shows to distribute them. If
you don’t have access to a computer
don’t worry you can use any entry form
and you can call 07807494298 for class
numbers and any other information
K9 News are running an online poll
on their Facebook page and would
appreciate you casting you vote if you
will be attending the show so we can get
some feel for attendance.
We now have a big ask of our fellow
societies, exhibitors and friends. To make
all this possible to happen we need your
help on the days of the show. We all need
to pull together as ‘The World of Pedigree
dogs’ needs to work as a team to pull us
forward into the future if you can help this
would be gratefully received. You can
