The Gamekeepers' Kennel Association has been formed with the primary
object of taking over the organisation of the Gamekeepers' Dog Show
as first held at the Westminster Aquarium, on 31st July and 1st and
2nd August 1900, it being deemed advisable by all parties concerned
that the show should cease to be proprietary or to be promoted by any
firm having trading interests with Gamekeepers. The other aims which
the Association has in view are fully described in the following
pages, and the Executive will do everything in their power to uphold
and protect the rights of Game-preservers, recognising that in this
lie the best interests of the Association and its members. The rule
regarding the exclusion of undesirable persons from membership will be
strictly enforced, and the Executive hope, that in time, the fact that
a Gamekeeper is a member of the Association will be looked upon as a
proof of ability and good character.
Donations and Subscriptions in aid of the Funds of the Association
will be gladly received and acknowledged by the Secretary. Cheques and
Post-office Orders should be made payable to the Gamekeepers' Kennel
Association and crossed "Barclay & Co." Secretary's address is:--
Mr F. W. MILLARD,
Hertford, Herts.
