Phil Shirley writes "The South of England PC  held a very successful seminar at New Haw near Woking last Sunday with a very good attendance both from Papillon owners and also from owners of other breeds, with much interest shown in the breed. It was encouraging to have so many new judges enquiring to join the Papillon judging list which can only lead to a more extensive list , especially on the specialist side..Sadly Veronica Hourihane (who was to talk on the breed Standard) was unwell so Anne Borg stepped in at the last minute and gave a very interesting talk which was well received , there was time for examination of the dogs followed by a lovely lunch with a choice of dishes, in the afternoon Peter Taylor took delegates through the  KC Rules and Regs with about 25 persons taking the exam. This is the second seminar the club has arranged and  following the established process of rotation ,next years seminar will be held in the South West."

Eilish has sent the following results for Cloghran Ch Show in S Ireland : GSD Clarke's Austrene Copper Glow, RGSD Kileen-King Penang Goldenleas Rougemist of Dolcissimo, GSB & BOB Mooney's Omaonaig Flame Of Tara, RGSB Mooney's Coneysluck Polar Star 

Queenie Bruce has had a nasty fall at home and has broken her shoulder in three places,  what a dreadful thing to happen just a few weeks before Christmas.  She expects that she will have it immobilised for about six weeks.  Try to enjoy the rest if you can Queenie and make all the family wait on you over Christmas!! It is no joke though and I hope you will soon feel better. 

Carolyne Allward-Chebsey asks me to include the following: "The Schedule for the  next Papillon Club Open Show (20th February 2005) is now ready and  can be accessed from the Club web site.  Go to http://www.papillonclub.co.uk and click on the appropriate link, where it can be downloaded. Others who are not on line, and who entered at the last open show, who will be at LKA, will be given their copy along with the Christmas issue of the Newsletter. Please come to Doug Colyer's Bench. Those who are not at LKA and entered at the last show, yours will be posted after LKA. Others who would like a schedule, please contact the Secretary

I am sorry to report that Queenie Bruce has had a nasty accident at home tripping over and managing to break her shoulder in three places. It could have been a lot worse, fortunately she missed the broken glass from the bottle she was carrying and although she also managed to break her glasses with part the frame piercing her brow it did miss here eyes as did the broken glass from her spectacles. Nonetheless a very nasty fall and needless to say Queenie is feeling very bruised and battered and with only one arm unable to do anything even if her doctor would allow her to. She will be out of action until at least early January, even simple tasks like writing her Christmas Cards are proving difficult, whilst she can write the card she can't get them in the envelope, fortunately the grand children are being put to good use there!!! I am sure we all wish Queenie a speedy recovery. 

Another event which promises to be enjoyable for Papillon folk is to take place in December. and Phil Shirley has kindly let me have the following details. "The South Of England Papillon Club Christmas Party will take place on 18th December 2004 at Chieveley Village Hall. Near Newbury. Berks . The day will start at 11am with a puppy match followed by J.H.A. classes. At 1.00pm we shall all sit down to a full 2 course  festive Roast Christmas lunch with all the trimmings followed by Christmas Pudding , including wine, crackers, party hats, balloons. It is rumoured that Santa may be dropping by! After lunch the adult dog match will take place .There will be a bumper Christmas Raffle also the club stall will be in attendance for those last minute gifts. The day will finish with Mince Pies and Brandy Butter. everyone welcome: please phone Anne Borg 01865 762201. Let's hope both this and the Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Clubs Christmas day on 4 December will have had a good turn out, I am sure some lucky people will be able to attend both - double pleasure. These events are a lot of work for those folk who organise them hopefully folk will show their appreciation by making both events successful.

Ron Stewart who organised the 4 Toy Breed Super Challenge sends the following report "The 4 Toy Breed Super Challenge was held (very successfully , I am told) on 20 Nov . Hosted by the KCS Club it involved Charlies, Paps, Pugs and Affenpinschers. The (dog showing) competetive element was judge by David Smith JP, Liz Stannard , and Albert Wight. Winners were :- Best in challenge ( and Best Veteran )  Toni Teasdale's Ch. Tonsarne I Claudius JW.(Affenpinscher), Reserve Best in Challenge Michelle Swinge & Gail Saffer's Ragemma Lord Franklin at Balthazar (Pug), Best Special Puppy (up to 18 months ) was Sue Stanbury's Inixia Wily Willum (Pap) handled by Emily Baker (daughter of Ros Baker best known for her Coftons KCS). Winner of the Consolation Competition ( for those eliminated first time out ) was Ros Brakes' Ch. Caralean Pipes and Drums (Affenpinscher) , which shows how tough the competition was in some quarters.

Helen Wheeler the Acting Secretary of the S Wales Papillon Club writes to say that following the cancellation of their Open Show in 2005 as a result of problems with the one in 2004, she is pleased to announce that the Club is allowed to hold a Limited Show on Sunday 3rd April 2005 and this will be followed by the AGM. Venue and Judge will be confirmed and Schedules will be available on the web site in the New Year.  Helen hopes that all Members will support the Show. 

The latest judges for 2005 from the new Kennel Gazette.  Bath, Mrs Jackie Leslie; Border Union, Mrs Evelyn Needham, Leeds, Mr Geoff Collins; Darlington, Mrs J Winters.  

Christmas is near once again and I will not be sending cards again this year but will be making a donation to a local Hospice instead.  I have not heard if Mary Whitehill and Elizabeth Cochrane are bringing a card to LKA for donations and signatures for their Charity but I know that they have done so for the past two years so I mention it just in case they do as these sort of things deserve support
