February 2014 Championship Show - error in schedule

5th December 2013 - Please note that in the paper version of the schedule for our February Championship Show there is an error on page 2 - it states "Every dog entered in the Parade of Champions will receive a personalised rosette". This is a printing error - there is no Parade of Champions at this show. We apologise for this mistake which does not appear in the online version - however we are stuck with the printed versions as they are. We have made the Kennel Club aware of this problem, and have acted upon their advice.
