INFORMATION SHEET
The Basset Hound Club was re-formed in 1954 and its main functions are to look after the interests of the Breed, to promote classes at Shows and to hold Shows at Open and Championship level, to support working meets and to foster friendliness and co-operation between Members whether they are interested in Showing or purely in one particular Hound as a pet. Membership of the Club includes free Third Party Insurance for your Basset Hound/s.
The Club’s Newsletter, the first of which appeared in 1957, together with the newly launched Website helps to keep members informed of events in the Basset world in general and in particular of other’s activities and opinions at home and abroad. A Record Book is issued at intervals.
There are Branches of the Club in various regions of country and members of the Club are entitled to join these on payment of a small additional annual membership fee. The Branches hold various functions in their areas, guarantee classes at local Open Shows and some publish Newsletters for their Members. A list of Branches Secretaries can be found in the Club Newsletter and on our Website.
For new Members, joining the Club between 1st October and 31st December in any one year, the subscription takes them through to 31st December the following year.
