January 2026

As we enter the new year we have a new showing season ahead of us. Manchester is the first Set of CCs on offer for the year with Crufts being the second. We have a number of open shows coming up also. Please support these where possible to retain chow classes all shows can be seen via- https://celticchows.co.uk/future-shows/ If anyone knows of other shows which aren’t showing at the moment please let Rhys know via rhys@greenideas.me.uk

We’ve sadly lost a few chowists over the past month. Most notably for our club is Mell Coleman who was one of the founding committee members for the club. Mell was often at shows with Steve and Jack. They regularly stayed at General Champ shows for a few days at a time making the most of their time. Mell was always seen with a smile, keen to help others and will be sorely missed by all. Our thoughts are with Steve and Jack during this time.

AGMs for CCCW and WECCC will be taking place online via Zoom on January 28th. Please make sure to contact Rhys to get a link for these AGMs. Membership is due for 2026 https://forms.gle/2JvtdmoHf2ntLPJNA is the link to fill in. Payment details are on there also.

We’re holding a joined Breed Appreciation Day with other Chow clubs 01/03/2026, please contact Rhys for more information. I’d like to also remind everyone that our shows are in October 2026 and entries close September (11th). Please ensure you enter early.
