The November meeting was an open evening when we were entertained by Tom and Sonia Turner who brought along their stunt dogs.

These dogs have been used in many films, adverts and television series.

They brought four dogs with them and it was fascinating to hear how they trained them and see the dogs performing their tricks. The dogs have to be good tempered, not nervous, like people, happy and be motivated by food. They showed how they could instruct the dog to look left/right/up/down by moving a long stick with a sausage on the end.

The dogs repertoire was endless and they obviously loved every minute of their performance and so did we.

In December we held our annual Christmas Party with entertainment by ‘Susaphonics’, followed by an excellent supper. The evening followed with a game of pass the parcel and an hilarious finale of the twelve days of Christmas.

The February Feast on the 18 will again be held at The Granary Restaurant.
