was officially recognised by the Kennel Club with a founding membership

On 3rd January 1988 we held our first Open show with an entry of 260 which was Judged by Sandra Hudspith.
The Club holds two shows a year, the Championship show in early April and the Open show in early October. The Club runs Working tests each year & also Gundog Training classes for beginners and advanced, Juniors are very welcome.
The objectives of the club are to benefit the welfare of Golden Retrievers and further educate members & the general public in the management, training, showing, working and all aspects of the Golden Retriever.
