Hi Folks!

I hope you’ve all been keeping safe and well. Now that we’re emerging from winter hibernation and from the pandemic lockdown, it’s time to talk about what 2021 brings for BCCME.

The Board met this afternoon via Zoom to discuss our events. Here’s what’s going on:

  1. The May shows in Cumberland, ME have been canceled.
  2. It took a while for the official word to come from the town, but the Ladies’ Dog Club shows in Wrentham — where we hold our regional Specialty — *will* be taking place on June 5 and 6. The show format will be drastically stripped down from previous years: no party tent, no lunches, no spectators. If you don’t win your class, leave. (Sounds like a blast, right?) Anyway, we’re still holding the event. Pat Colombo is our Saturday Sweeps judge, Bob Lamm will judge regular classes. Our Sunday judge is (I think) Jon Cole. Entries will open mid-May, and MB-F is the super.
  3. The June shows in Cumberland *will* take place on June 24-27 at the Cumberland Fairgrounds. We have supported entries on Saturday and Sunday. MB-F s the super for that show as well.
  4. The event you’ve all been waiting for: The BCCME Bounce & BBQ! Tentative date is Saturday, July 10 from 12 noon – 4 PM. We’re still figuring out the logistics, such as whether people should bring their own picnic lunches. Sme of us will have been vaccinated by then and some of us won’t be yet, so we’ll have to mask and distance ourselves — but we’ll still be able to get together. Anyway, the Bounce will take place at Val’s new digs in Westbrook.

We’ll send more information as we get it. In the meantime, why don’t you folks tell us how you’ve been? We can’t wait to see you!
