Champ Shows Sat 27th May 2023 – POSTPONED

Posted on by

POSTPONED

Champ Shows  that were planned to be held Saturday 27th May 2023
at NZKC Exhibition Centre, 743 Clevedon Road, Ardmore, Auckland

Dear Exhibitor,

We are sad to report that our judge for this weekend’s Championship Show, Jean Louis Blais, has had a fall at home in Canada and badly injured himself, and that he and his wife Madeleine Charest have had to cancel their travel plans.
Due to the short amount of time available to the committee to make suitable, alternate plans, we feel we have no option other than to Postpone our show/s.
All entry fees will be refunded to all exhibitors.
As soon as the committee have had a chance to regroup, and discuss alternate options, we will let you all know details for a replacement Championship Show.

We are very concerned for Jean Louis’ well-being, and wish him well.
On behalf of the Labrador Club committee, we are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

We will be back in touch soon.

Regards Angela Murray
The Labrador Club Show Secretary
