    Nationale Kampioenschappen van België in Bastogne Gehouden 21 en 22 januari 2017 Tekst en foto’s: Danny Camerlinck Tijdens het weekend van 21 en 22 januari werden in het Waalse Bastogne de Belgische kampioenschappen gehouden. Er waren twee Regionale clubs die de handen in mekaar geslagen hadden, om de taak van de organisatie op zich te nemen. De locatie was de overdekte veemarkt waar normaal rundvee verhandeld werd. Helaas was er tijdens de periode van het gebeuren een heuse winterprik met temperaturen tot zelfs -15°C. Dit in combinatie met een heuse sneeuwstorm tijdens de voorbereiding, en de open structuur van het gebouw, zorgde voor een lastige editie van deze show. Anderzijds was België het enige land waar nog geen vogelgriep vastgesteld werd. Kort na de show was het wel zover, maar gelukkig hadden we toen reeds de kampioenschappen achter de rug. Er waren totaal een 2700 dieren ingeschreven en alles was mooi verdeeld over de beide lands- gedeelten en ook voor de soorten waren er bij alle diergroepen mooie aantallen. De Belgische Landsbond verzorgde de administratie, en er was ook een zéér rijk gevulde prijzentafel zodat er voor iedere deelnemer iets te rapen viel. We hadden dus een mooie show die zeker de moeite was om te bezoeken. De gezellige sfeer bij de vele aanwezigen was hiervan het bewijs. Een overzicht van vele raskampioenen in de fotoreportage hierna. During the weekend of 21 and 22 January, the Belgian championships were held in Bastogne, Wallonia. There were two regional clubs who had took on the organization of this event. The location was the market hall where were normally cattle is traded.
