Presentation
and Toast In appreciation of the long service given
to the Club by both Mary
Towers and Ferelith Somerfield
who have now retired from the SCTC Committee. The Club’s Committee, Officers and Members decided that there should
be a Presentation and Toast
given in their
honour at the
SCTC’s Championship Show which was
held on the
5th February, 2017 at Bracknell Leisure Centre. It is excellent news that this
is not the
end of their
attachment to the
Club, as they
were invited to be
Patrons of the SCTC and the invitation has been accepted by both. ---------------------------- A Shared Conclusion Retiring from SCTC Committee and Office couldn’t have
been a lightly made decision by either Ferelith Somerfield or Mary Towers; the number of years that they have given to the Club would
have had a very strong hold on their minds before they finally reached a conclusion. Mary had been a Club Member for a number
of years before
her name was put forward
for the post of
Club Secretary and its members
voted her into office. Twenty-three years
is a long time, whether
it goes slowly or
quickly, and
Mary has served the Club faithfully for all of
those years. One
cannot get too much of a good thing and so she once again
became a Committee Member, before
finding herself in the
position of Honorary Vice President. Also, Mary was a Committee Member
of the UK Cairn
Terrier Working Party and a championship show judge. Feffie first qualified to judge Cairns and award CC’s in 1963. Later, due to experience gained as a breeder in several breed of dogs, then went on to award CC’s to 139 different breeds.
After having judged dogs,
world-wide, and being a highly respected judge; she was offered and accepted the invitation to judge Best
in Show at Crufts. Feffie
has served the
Southern Cairn Terrier Club
well over the years, both in an advisory position and being its
Breed Representative at the Kennel
Club. Feffie has
also held post as President of the SCTC and after serving her term in office, was made a Honorary Vice President. Graham Peers |
A Message From Mary Mary would like to send
a Big Thank You to all Cairnites whose generosity made her presentation at The Southern Cairn Terrier
Club Championship Show on the 5th February such a memorable day, one she will
always treasure in years to come. |

enjoyed her day at the SCTC Championship show, chatting to old friends.

accept the post of Patron. |
