BTC BULLETIN ADVERTS

As Bull Terrier lovers, most of us get very excited about the history bequeathed to us from the breed enthusiasts of yester-year. We smile at old Bull Terrier Club Bulletins with shots of ‘The greats’ adorning the antiquity of the front covers, inside which are filled with wonderful images, articles and ads. We, right now, are the future history of our beautiful breed, so why not secure a piece of that history by advertising your kennel in this year’s bulletin? You’ll be presenting your dogs to the enthusiasts of today, while ensuring that the generations of tomorrow get to see them too… To place your ad in this year’s Bulletin (a year that will certainly go down in history!), please contact Hon. Editor Rita Sinclair via 07879 626 777 or [email protected]

Kennel Club statement: Cancellation of Discover Dogs 2020

With regret, the Kennel Club must announce the cancellation of this year’s Discover Dogs event, planned to take place in London in October. This is due to the continued restrictions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and current Government advice against staging large public gatherings such as indoor exhibitions. At present, there is no prospect of these restrictions being lifted in the timescale required to organise the event.

The Kennel Club takes the health, safety and security of everyone who takes part in its events very seriously and this must remain the prime consideration at all times. We shall look forward to welcoming you all to Discover Dogs next year.

It is with the greatest of sadness that we announce the passing of Mr Terry Hylands.

Terry passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Saturday the 27th June with Josephine and his family by his side.

Terry served for many years as a Committee member, Chairman and President of the club.

Terry will be greatly missed as our good friend, guide and mentor.

Terry’s funeral mass took place on Tuesday 30^th June and can be watched on St MacNissi Parish Church Larne Facebook page.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Josephine and all of Terry’s family at this sad time.
