News Flash:

Many of you will have already heard of the sad death from cancer of Mrs. Liz Williams from Natal, who was the elected judge for Hatfield Kennel Club; we have already expressed our sympathy to her husband, Tony. In her place we are very pleased to be bringing a new face to the center of the Championship Show ring in this country and one who is all Breeds, all Groups, and BIS approved under KUSA regulations, Mrs. L Wilson, and we trust you will all give her a very warm welcome for agreeing to step into the breach at such short notice.
