Memorial Trophy

The Northumberland and Durham Collie Club’s annual
programme of events includes:

Winter Open Show allowing exhibitors to catch up with post New Year news in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere —currently held at the Trimdon Village Hall, 1 Wynyard Road, Trimdon, County Durham, TS29  6JG.

Annual General Meeting — currently held at the
Trimdon Village Hall, 1 Wynyard Road, Trimdon,
County Durham, TS29  6JG.

Championship Show — including the presentation of
annual points trophies — schedules classes for Rough
Collies only with two judges, one for each sex, but utilising
a single ring allowing a staggered arrival and departure
for those exhibitors exhibiting a single sex, while
encouraging a more relaxed experience for those with
a team, but without the attendants necessary to watch
the progress of two rings at the same time.
Currently held at the Birtley Leisure Centre, Durham Road, Birtley, County Durham, DH3  2TB.

Autumn Open Show for Rough Collies — currently held at the Trimdon Village Hall, 1 Wynyard Road, Trimdon, County Durham, TS29  6JG — with its airy aspect and home made refreshments offering a traditional Goerdie welcome to exhibitors and friend alike.

The Northumberland and Durham Collie Club annually offer two points trophies to members. The Tom Purvis Memorial Trophy on the right presented to the Rough Collie gaining the most points at the Club’s three shows, while the Damascus Trophy, presented by Tom Purvis’ son in memory of Tom’s famous sable and white dog Ch Danvis Damascus, is confined to puppies winning from either Minor Puppy or Puppy classes at the Club’s three shows

In addition the Club owns many intriguing trophies, some of which date back to pre first world-war days before the Club was Kennel Club registered.
