50th ANNIVERSARY |

In 2017 the Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary.
Way back in 1967 Grace Morris & Pat White
were members at the East Preston Dog Training Club which at that
time was the only Dog training club in the area. They realised that
if they wanted an alternative club, it would mean a trip to
Portsmouth, so along with Pete
Ball they decided that a Dog
Training Club in the Bognor Regis area was needed.
In September 1967
with Grace Morris rounding up a few
interested dog owners and
taking on the role of Secretary,
the new club started at the Holy Cross Church Hall at North Bersted.
At first the interest was
relatively small and
Harry Jones became one of the first
Trainers. A committee was formed under the Chairmanship of Peter
Ball,
the committee comprised of
Carol Laughlin, Mrs
Campbell-Peters, Pat White,
Paddy Ball, and the President was
Dave Churchman. After a number of different venues, and a lot of
hard work over the years by many people, and the club still going
strong.
