The RVWN Christmas meal was held on 2nd December and an enjoyable evening was had by all. It's been a very busy year for us with becoming an independent group, we've also had a very full on schedule for the majority of the year holding & attending numerous working events and not forgetting Newf Fest, so it was a welcome break to celebrate together.
We had the opportunity to thank David Pugsley for his 30+ years of support by gratefully presenting him with his certificate of honorary membership.
We also recognised the dogs & handlers working achievements throughout the year - a full breakdown of winners can be found on our new Trophies & Awards page. A big congratulations goes to all of the winners this year.
More photos from the event can be found in our gallery.
Again -thank you everyone for your support and hard work this year, here's to 2024!

It's that time of the year again where we get together to raise funds for Newfoundland dogs in need. Join us for a charity dog walk set in beautiful woodland - everyone and all breeds welcome.
There is a £5 donation per family with all proceeds going direct to Northern Newfoundland Club Welfare. Parking is free and there is a small cafe on site for a bite to eat & cuppa.
We will be holding our first draught test of the year at Sherwood Forest on Sunday 5th November. The test will be held under the Northern Newfoundland Club & includes beginners to level 4.
Thank you to Kim Rhodes for agreeing to test manage at this event, it will be her first experience as test manager but we're certain she will do a fantastic job.
