Bill Piggott

It is a huge honour to be President of our Newfoundland Club. I joined the Club in 1977 when we bought our first Newfoundland, Orovales Moonlit Water from June Yeoward. Bess was the epitome of a Newfoundland who lived to 13½ years.

I joined the Club Committee in 1984 and was heavily involved in organising the centenary celebrations in 1986. I also organised the club’s first Limit Show, with Obedience. I stewarded at several Championship Shows to try and learn. Stewarding for Joe Brandon was interesting and educational. I awarded CCs for the first time at Windsor in 1992. My biggest honour was to be invited to judge Bitches at the Newfoundland Club Championship Show in 1995, the dogs were judged by Graham Birch. I have continued giving tickets since, the last time being Southern Counties in 2021.

During my time as Chairman of the Club Committee I always endeavoured to try and make meetings relaxed, when possible simply because this is a hobby for most of us. I will endeavour to continue that belief. Always remember that we all, as individuals own the best dog in the world and that showing a dog is just the opinion of a Judge on the day.
