Sid Thorne The committee, members and friends of the Midlands & Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Club offer their heartfelt condolences to Pat Thorne, on the tragic and all too early passing of her husband Sid. After a long battle with debilitating disease he slipped away quietly on Saturday 9th January 2010.  Sid had been a club member for many years, serving as a valued
member of the committee and was instrumental in the setting up of
Midlands & Northern Rescue. He will be sorely missed by all.The funeral service will be held at 1pm on Wednesday 20th January 2010 at Southport Crematorium, Southport Road, PR8 5JQ. No flowers please, but should anyone care to make a donation it will be shared between The Parkinson Society and Midlands & Northern Ridgeback Rescue. |

The Breed Council representing all four Rhodesian Ridgeback Clubs in Britain meets twice a year to discuss all Rhodesian Ridgeback related issues. Its function is to collate the collective views of all clubs and present them to The Kennel Club. News of The Breed Council activities will be posted as available.
Discover Dogs is becoming increasingly popular. In future on ridgeback day at Crufts, the stand will be manned, and ridgebacked, by some of our rescued Ridgebacks. We also attend Discover Dogs at Earls Court, London, in November and in May we represent Rhodesian Ridgebacks at the "All About Dogs" exhibition in Essex. We always need people to help with these events so if you would care to volunteer your services for a couple of hours it will alleviate the strain on the regulars who do a full days stint, which is unfair on their Ridgebacks. With hundreds of people milling around asking questions, some sensible, some ridiculous, even Ridgebacks get tired out. As long as your dog is "bombproof" and you like talking (and lets face it what RR owner doesn't) Please offer to help.
