Both Sissi and I have had life in the way. However, our aim is to put this newsletter out now and to complete a second with the left over items by Christmas. Wish us luck. The other thing that has been impacted is the 2019 calendar. After much deliberation, angst and discussion with the committee, the 2019 calendar will make it for 2020. It is a very special design with contributions from WA artist and Vizsla enthusiast John Butler. Sissi is reluctant to rush this concept through to meet late deadlines, so she will now work on the calendar to ensure it is ready for sale earlier in 2019 for 2020. The concept is beautiful. You won't be disappointed. And if you've submitted photos, they'll be on your wall for 2020. There are some really good things to bring you this newsletter - the Great Vizsla Walk 2018, conceived by Trish Robinson co-ordinated with a band of willing helpers in order to raise welfare funds for Vizsla. With Trish's blessing this total was shared equally with the Hungarian Vizsla Club of Victoria, with whom we work so closely for Vizsla welfare. The results of our Great Cave Bed Raffle - another extraordinary fund raiser for welfare funds. And of course - Abby - the poor girl who found herself in Dubbo pound after being advertised on Gumtree and whose truly remarkable story had many of us clearing things from our eyes. Fendi has given up the idea that the cave bed would go well on the lounge and will accept a blankie instead. Results and critique for our October champ show, Picnics held and imminent, new titles, info on our Tracking trial, and great news from Sue Turner that she has been able to procure some new grounds for our Club's tracking trial next year. Since losing access to Bullangalong in Wingello following its sale, we have struggled for quality grounds. Sue has managed to negotiate access to some extensive grounds with good cover for our future trials. We are excited and grateful to her for her efforts. So, if we've missed out some things this month due to space, etc, they'll be there next issue. HVCNSW DESIGNS & IMAGES The Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW has very little in the way of tangible 'assets'. One thing we do have is a portfolio of image designs that have been purchased or donated to the Club for purposes of fund raising and product marketing. They are unique and they belong exclusively to the HVC NSW. We use those designs on items in our Cafe Press store, and on our car stickers, etc. We appreciate the value of those designs as part of our identity and also their value to the breed for raising funds for welfare, etc.
