Limburg Cup (May 2021) is cancelled
Message from the organisers Limburg Cup:
Dear handlers,
After mutual deliberation we have decided to cancel the "Limburg Cup". We think it is not advisable to come together with several people at this time.
None of the organisers has received a first "injection" yet, and not many handlers either.
Let us be careful and come together warmly in the future.
As soon as possible
Paul Reynders

Death of Jim Easton
Jim Easton 1937-2021
9 April 2021
It is with deep regret that we report Jim Easton MBE passed away on 6th April. We offer our sincere condolences to Jim’s wife and his family at this very difficult and sad time.
Jim Easton was appointed Chairman in 1998 and served until 2017. Throughout his term he was influential in the development of the Society, and managed the Society through the very difficult period of foot and mouth, which we are all so very grateful for.
Jim was a friendly and approachable gentleman that had a great deal of time for our members, and it was always lovely to see him at the major trials.
An obituary for Jim will be published within the ISN magazine.
Thank you to Lisa Soar for providing us with such a lovely photo of Jim to share with you all.
RIP Jim
