Midland C.T.C. Cairn Day 2010

25th September 2010

Held at Shirland Village Hall, Alfreton, Derbyshire.

 

MCTC Cairn Day 2010 was again a resounding success. A good mixture of Pet and show Cairns and owners were in attendance.

 

The day started with Julie Petts, Maud Hawkes, Alison Wragg & Dawn Innet giving trimming advice and answering questions for both pet and show Cairn owners.

(As you can see, some Cairns were more happy about being trimmed than others!)

 

 

Chris Roberts & helpers were there with the CTRF stall

 

 

 

 

This was followed by

Monica & Brenda’s Fun Classes.

This year Monica was the main judge.

After last years cheating and a couple of sending offs, Brenda started the programme with a little pep talk re- the do’s and don’ts.

I.e.; No pushing, pulling or bribing of judges !

This seemed to work, and fair play was then seen in all classes.

 

Class one – Musical Mats

This class should be called “whistle mats” as we now realize that the only thing to be heard over all that happy barking

Is a very loud whistle!

 

(No that isn’t a curly coated Cairn, it’s Dawns Patterdale!)

Musical Mats winner Poppy with Douglas Wood

 

Class two Handsomest Boy

Monica just couldn’t resist the charms of young Monty owned by Jeremy Hughes.

Temptation Alley

 

 

Class Three

Temptation Alley

 

Owners had to guide their Cairn through an alley of Temptations  = Plates of Babs Burgin’s Liver Cake – Cuddly toys, a duck on wheels, biccies, a squeaky pheasant & lots of fluffy toys.

 

 

The final Winner Of Temptation Alley was Chase with Mum Karen Allrbright.

Class 4

Prettiest Bitch was Carol Pears’ lovely Callie

 

 

 

Class 5 – Best Sausage Catcher

 

Monica again took on the task of throwing sausages in the direction of the Cairns!

This year we had a few who weren’t as “keen” as usual, but after dummy run they got the hang of it. The one left standing was Tony Byrnes’ Tonka.
