The awards for Members achieving Best Handlers, Most Improved and Encouragement awards and titles in Dog Sports such as Obedience, Agility, Flyball, Tracking and others that were made at club at the December Fun Day, were beautiful pairs of drinking glasses. The glasses are engraved with the name of the handler and his or her dog, the name of the award and the club emblem. The glasses are lovely to have, especially as the years pass. The photo was taken by Hans van der Post.
