It was Harry's birthday....what a present!
It was a beautiful weekend in February at the end of our Summer...fortunately it wasn't hot.

The ring was decorated with flowering plants and flags, we are lucky enough to have one member with a beautiful voice and he sang the National Anthems, we had stalls selling all kinds of Bassety Stuff, Jane Miller made a magnificent quilt with Bassets on it, which we raffled, we had Basset Tapestries, Basset Prints, etc, etc lots of work had been done towards this weekend...it was a real extravaganza.
We had the Open Show and the Champ. Show on the Saturday and the National on the Sunday. The Judges were Basset specialists from Argentina and the Open Show Judge was from Victoria.

Nikki won Runner up to the Best Exhibit at the Champ Show on the Saturday which we were absolutely thrilled about...but nothing prepared us for the thrill of winning the National on the Sunday.

It was a bit of a family thing on that weekend as Nikki's son Snoopy won his class and Nikki's litter brother Sam won Reserve Challenge Dog.

The music you are listening to is "Somewhere in Time" which I thought appropriate to the National Weekend...it was a great moment in time for us.
