Hi everyone, here is some recent South East Branch news,
AGM The Branch held a very successful and enjoyable Annual General Meeting on Sunday, 6th March at Cuckfield, West Sussex.
Reports from the Chairman, the officers, and members of the committee highlighted the many successes of the previous twelve months.
Jean, our Walks organiser, reported on the high numbers now regularly attending our monthly ‘meets’. Derek, our esteemed webmaster, announced some changes that had been made to the website: www.southeastbasset.org.uk - so, if you haven’t visited the site for a while, please check these out. Our newsletter editor thanked the many excellent contributors to Lowdown including Sheila Williams, the winner of the 2010 Winnie’s Wheelbarrow Trophy. Sue, our Basset Hound Welfare representative delivered an impressive report on the many successful re-homings that she had arranged.
All this was followed by some delicious refreshments. Many thanks go to all those who attended.
DFS CRUFTS 2011 Last Saturday, several Branch members travelled to DFS Crufts at the NEC Birmingham for Hounds Day.

Well done, everyone!
A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY This coming Sunday, 20th March, is a Branch walk at Long Car Park, Ashdown Forest (see website for all details, maps and TomTom links). There will be a special guest appearance of Bronwyn Edwards Cryer. Bron is the Australian/Seattle-based singer/songwriter famous for ‘A Basset is an Asset’ – so, why not come along and say ‘Hello’?
That’s all for now! Love to you and your hounds,
Frankie x.
