Dear UK & Scots members, a plea

[Elscodobermann]

@Schouiffy:

You guys are awesome!!!

I will absolutely try and make some shows happen, that would be such a pleasure. I have your names now, so I will be haunting you guys in a few weeks Where is the Northern Basenji open show exactly? Is there a mailing list or something for The Basenji Club of Great Britain?

Looking forward to meeting everyone, including the lovely half sister Belle. Theresa I will be taking you up on that soon

and yes, we did get a foster home worked out. The wonderful and gracious Janneke has agreed to keep my beastie. I feel quite lucky.

The Hound Association of Scotland is on 11th October in Lanark - 2 miles from my house. Its the only open show in Scotland (until next year ) with a basenji class - am sure we could all make an effort to enter it, and maybe have a get together afterwards? - there is a nice loch across the road from the venue for a walk, and a good restaurant as well for a bite to eat.

the Northern Basenji Society show is on 18th October in Cheshire - so its a good 4 hours from Edinburgh - but maybe you could get a lift to the show with one of us Scottish basenji folk?

And how lucky to get a foster home with Janneke - you know she will be well looked after!

Hi Lauren

Like Moetmum I am a long way south, and no more shows for me north of Birmingham until next year. But it'd be great to meet you at one of the shows if you can get a lift down!

[noodle]

We live in the Lake District (Cumbria) just south of the Scottish border. So, I'm sure we'll bump into each other sometime.
Look forward to meeting you.

Yes, yes, The Hound Association of Scotland sounds perfect! I would totally be down for that.

Well, I'm positive I will go down South a bit now that I'm in period of "single" life. It's gonna be very peculiar being able to go where I want without considering the dog.

It will be so great to have so many of you around, I'm looking forward to meeting you all very very much.

P.S. I'm also very excited about being fully baptized in Basenji-Scot culture, Scottish history is so interesting (with a nice B twist, hheeh)

[Benkura]

I also live in Scotland, although on the West Coast. It's only 2 hours from Edinburgh. We have 4 Bs here with us and you are more than welcome to come and visit. You can access all the Scottish Islands from here and do some great sight seeing (and B walking if you fancy it!)
I will also be at the Hound Assoc Open Show. Was only going to enter 1 dog but if you fancy handling for me I could take 2 ??

[Schouiffy]

Coming to Edinburgh tomorrrrrrow!!

I'm terribly excited … ok almost "terribly" since I dont have a flat yet, hehe, but still quite thrilled to be finally coming ! Can't wait to meet you all.

Best Wishes and see you guys soon !

[moetmum]

I hope you have a good trip, its a shame us Southerners are so far away, don't forget to pack your thermals its cold up north!

[basi]

[lukris]

Hi lauren,
i live in Lancashire, a long way from Scotland but hopefuly we can meet at one of the shows. We are hoping to get to the Northern Basenji show. At present we dont have a Basenji but are hoping to get another one soon.
I have enjoyed the threads about Lycia and Tillo, its amazing what people will do to help each other.

[Basenjimamma]

Lauren, needless to say I am far from Scotland ( in Houston, TX) but wanted to wish you a safe trip and good, swift time finding the perfect flat and all.

[agilebasenji]

Oh, Edinburgh, I am soo jealous.

I wish you a very good flight Lauren !!

[JISGARD]

Hi Lauren

Like Moetmum and Borbasuk I am way down South, on the South Coast to be exact. I am considering NBS Open and I will certainly be at all the Club shows, so I we should meet you somewhere in the near future.

Steve, Sue and Poppy.

[Schouiffy]

Well Thank you ALL for all the warm wishes.

I did indeed arrive safe and sound… but homeless. Hhee. Oh yes, all my nicely made plans gone! So I will be running about like a mad person trying to get something lined up, not exactly what I envisioned a week before school is starting. I'll try to be in touch as soon as I can.

Best,
Lauren

[basi]

Glad you got there ok:D I hope you find somewhere soon. Where are you staying just now?

[Schouiffy]

Well, for this evening, I have managed to find a friend of a friend's floor to sleep on. After Friday, who knows!?
