The year started with a group mentoring session being held at the Whippet Club open show, with their kind cooperation, and it was warmly received by the participants. Many of these people have contacted me for further mentoring so there will be a busy year ahead!
The RKC have finally given me a confirmed date for the Level 4 assessment. It is to held at the RKC building Stoneleigh on 18th April. Any candidate who has been contacted by RKC and wish to go through the procedure or ask any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Ongoing mentoring is very important and I have to heartily thank all the mentors and observers who give up their time and expertise to assist our up and coming Whippet judges. It is in mentees best interest to try and move out of their locality and have mentoring sessions with different animals for them to view.
Can I remind clubs that a BAD day is due every 2 years and to join together where possible to achieve this as it makes more financial sense.
I look forward to receiving mentoring requests and helping new judges to progress up the judging ladder. Informal mentoring is available to anyone who does not want to judge but wants to know more about the breed.
Another open group mentoring session is in the pipeline and details will be published on the Breed Council website when finalised.
The list of mentors and observers has been updated on the RKC website. If there is anyone out there who would like to be considered for a mentoring role I would be very happy to hear from you. Some mentors have let me know which shows they will be attending and it would be very helpful and appreciated if other mentors could do the same. Likewise, if you want mentoring please let me know at which shows you are attending so that I can arrange a suitable mentor, preferably not the day before!
