UPDATES AND NEWS ON OUR WEEK-END EVENT (Latest Update: September 16th 2011)

Online Booking is now closed.

Some events can still be booked, mostly via the seminar Secretary Jackie Green. The International Health Seminar on Friday can still be booked as can most things on Thursday and Friday. The Seminar booklet is over 130 pages packed with Bernese Health updates not only by means of the 9 different speaker's synopses but ALSO summaries of 7 health projects from around the world directly involving our breed PLUS returns from 14 different countries outlining health and different aspects of the Bernese situation.

If you are coming to the seminar

1] Please arrive in plenty of time to be seated before 9.00 a.m. We have an ambitious amount of speakers and content to get through and need your co-operation to complete things on time.

IF you are coming to the Saturday Evening Bernknees Up Party

The Saturday evening after show Bernknees Up party also has a record attendance (over 150) booked but we can still accommodate a few more people. You can book via the form available below but please don't delay as we may have to close the list. Part of this evening is the regular auction - last year's was memorable for some! (nuff said!!) and we have some brilliant Bernese items for sale again this year. So don't be shy look at the items and decide which ones you'd like. You know you want to!

IF you are coming to the Sunday Events

Firstly, just like Saturday there is a Parade of Working Carts to open the day, this will take place at around 9.45 so if you want to see it, and who wouldn't, please make sure you have arrived and got your place by this time.

There is already a strong entry for the Bernese Supermatch on Sunday and entries will be taken until the maximum is reached. We will take entries up until that point but if you want to make sure of entering please book in advance because when it's full it's full, we cannot exceed 64 dogs. We may be able to take entries on the day or at the Show the day before, but we cannot guarantee this.

To clarify a detail, Champions are allowed to enter this event.

Match Entry Form

If you are entering any events in the Working Day or the Fun Day (hopefully both) you can save time by downloading and filling in your form in advance and bringing it completed to enter on Sunday morning.
