C.T.C. Cairn Day 2013
12th October 2013
Held at
Hasland Village Hall, Hasland, Derbyshire.
Another brilliant turnout for 2013
MCTC Cairn Day! Both Pet & Show Cairns and their owners joined in the fun,
Making it yet another very successful
and enjoyable day. Although Hasland Hall had undergone a refurbishment
Inside and out since last year, they
and still welcome our canine friends to use their lovely hall situated next to
a park.
A
slight change in format this year, after the welcome coffee and biscuits Alison
Wragg gave a trimming demonstration,
With
questions and answers from the audience as she expertly transformed a Cairn
into a potential Crufts winner!

Eventually we got down to two and decided on a tie before we ran out of
sausages!
