Providing Communication and Feedback

As part of the Kennel Club’s ongoing commitment to encourage open communication between it and the dog enthusiasts that it represents, the Kennel Club is holding a Question Time at the Thistle Hotel at East Midlands Airport, Castle Donington, Derby, on Wednesday 4^th June from 6.30pm onwards.

This is a great opportunity for people to find out what the Kennel Club is all about and provides a forum for visitors to air their views and questions to a panel of senior representatives from the Kennel Club.   So, if you have any burning issues you wish to air, such as the Accredited Breeder Scheme, or new thoughts and ideas on how we can move forward together to promote dogs in a positive light, come along on the 4^th June.

The panel coming to Castle Donington will consist of Ronnie Irving, Chairman, Bill Hardaway, Vice Chairman, Caroline Kisko, Secretary, and Kathryn Symns, Canine Activities Executive. Bill Lambert, Health and Breeder Services Manager, will also be part of the panel to answer questions on the Accredited Breeder Scheme.

Caroline Kisko of the Kennel Club said: “Kennel Club Question Times offer a wonderful opportunity for us to discuss issues of interest and concern and to meet hundreds of dog owners throughout the UK.  They help us demonstrate the club’s commitment to dogs, their health and welfare and our objective of developing and improving canine activities for all.” 

A number of Question Times have been held across the UK in recent years, following an idea suggested at the Canine Events Conference and through listening to comments and suggestions from exhibitors, competitors and others involved in showing and working their dogs.               

Questions raised are numerous and varied, from legislation to Crufts, the value of Reserve Challenge Certificates, issues affecting dogs in society, KC procedures, dogs in cars, judging critiques and Obedience regulations. Answers are given by the panel or, on occasion, they are responded to in a timely manner by the Kennel Club office if further investigation is required.  In a number of instances, ideas have been taken back by the panel and raised with the relevant Kennel Club Committee.

Admission to the Kennel Club Question Time in Castle Donington is free. For further information and to reserve a place please contact Tracey Harris, Events Co-ordinator on 0844 463 3980 ext. 281 or email tracey.harris@thekennelclub.org.uk.
