Championship Show 2020: Sunday 19th. July 2020, KC Building, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire CV8 2LZ Dog Judge: Mrs. J. Barrow (Halebourne), Bitch Judge: Mrs. G. Hewitson (Seruilia), Referee/Progeny Judge: Ms. R. Turner (Amilone). CANCELLED
It is with great sadness that The GRC has cancelled its July championship show. It is re scheduled at the same venue with the same Judges for November 22nd. 2020. This was our open show date but that will be re scheduled in 2021, and if all gets back to some sort or normal we hope to have 2 open shows in 2021 so as to give all of our judges the chance to still Judge for us. Our exhibitors, Judges and committee’s welfare and safety is paramount to the club and we are monitoring the situation. If later in the year, in line with yesterdays KC statement we feel it is still not safe for all concern to hold the championship show in 2020, we will look at the available options for 2021. We will announce later in the summer a date that we will start accepting entries. We hope you are all keeping safe, and look forward to seeing you all later in the year.
******IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW (25/08/2020)******
Unfortunately after moving our Championship show to November 22nd. in the hope that we would have a chance of holding it in 2020, it is with great sadness and regret that the Officers and executive committee of The Golden Retriever Club, after careful consideration of the Kennel club’s recent guidance for the resumption of licenced events, have made the decision to cancel the show. We as a club have a duty of care to our members, exhibitors, Judges, helpers, and committee. We feel at this time with the ongoing problems and outbreaks across the UK that it would not be sensible or worth the risk to all to hold an indoor show.We are looking at our options to still hold this show in 2021 and will post an update when we can. We wish all our members the best in these strange times. Please stay safe everyone and lets all hope for something a little more normal next year.

We as a club have a duty of care to our members, competitors, Judges, Hosts, helpers, and committee.
