Future Shows and Events
Club Shows
The Midland Bedlington Terrier Club holds three shows each year.
In Spring (usually in February) we have an Open Show, which is followed by the
Annual General Meeting. This show is currently held at Corley Village Hall.
In the early Summer, at the beginning of June, we hold our Championship Show. The venue is normally Roade Village Hall.
In September is our second Open Show, held at Corley Village Hall.
Our proposed show dates for 2021 are:
Saturday 27 February (Postponed due to covid19)
- Open Show (Judge Mr Tony Alcock)
- Followed by the Annual General meeting at Roade Village Hall, Northants
Sunday 13 June (Going Ahead as scheduled)
- Morning Championship Show (Judge Mrs Viv Rainsbury)
postponed from 2020
- Afternoon Championship Show (Judge Mr Roy North)
- By kind permission of the Kennel Club we are holding 2 championship shows on the same day, held in the East Hall of the KC building
at Stoneleigh
Saturday 25 September
- Open Show at Corley Village Hall (Judge Miss Jenny Startup)
Besides hosting our own shows, we also support a number of other shows throughout the year. This support consists of suggesting three judges for the Show Society to select from, along with special rosettes and MBTC Diplomas.
This means that we can help up and coming judges who have the backing of a the MBTC to progress up the judging ladder. Our support indicates that we have confidence in these judges' ability to do a good, honest and fair job of assessing the entry.
We hope our support encourages exhibitors to give these judges a good entry
Due to the cancellation of many shows due to covid19, we have not yet finalised details of our supported entry shows for 2021
Due to the current uncertainties in light of the coronavirus situation, and with the Kennel Club's guidance in mind, we have decided the BAD must be postponed. We hope to reschedule it for later in 2021, once the current restrictions are eased.
Following on from last year's very successful Seminar, attended by many breed specialist and non-specialist judges, we shall be holding a Breed Appreciation Day and Group Mentoring session for judges who wish to progress in their judging careers and for all interested in learning more about the breed
The day will include:
- BAD breed presentation - open to all, whether established judges, aspiring or novice judges, or people who simply wish to learn more about the Bedlington Terrier
- Multiple Choice Examination (MCE) for established judges at JCF Level 1
- Group Mentoring session for judges at JCF Level 2
- Hands-on session for aspiring and novice judges who are not yet eligible for JCF Level 1
