2025 SPONSORS, EXHIBITORS & JUDGES
(to be finalised…)
We are incredibly grateful to our Master of Ceremonies (MC), Isaac Fanin and our lineup of lovely judges, all of whom are local and many of whom will be known to you, either by face, name, reputation - or all three! They have all given their time for free and many have provided the wonderful prizes you are hoping to win!
We are also extremely grateful to our many generous sponsors, many of whom are also our judges, listed below, who have kindly donated fabulous prizes and some of whom will be exhibiting on the day. We urge you please to pay exhibitors’ stalls a visit to learn what they have to offer, to learn something about your dog that you didn’t know, or need to find out, or to get something for your dog (or someone else) that you either need or would like.
Special thanks also to Stuart Serjent of Serjent Design for our fliers, banners etc and Amanda Summons who will be our official photographer and available for private work as she roams the show to choose the day’s most photogenic dog.
Last but not least, huge thanks to Rebecca Byrne of City Dog Club, a well established local trainer without whose knowledge, guidance, encouragement and support the show would not have been possible

Dogs and their owners are important users of the Common and can be a welcome sight for all if a few simple rules are followed. Mostly they are but sometimes they’re not. Warnings to dog owners are the second most frequent type of warning from the police issued on the Common.
