From 2004 onwards Richmond championship dog show will be held at a new venue – Loseley Park - following approval by the Kennel Club.

Loseley Park is set in the heart of the Surrey countryside, just Southwest of Guildford, approximately five minutes from the A3.

“It was always the intention of the Officers and Committee of Richmond to keep the show as close as possible to our current venue” stated Nick Bryce-Smith, chairman of Richmond, “we looked closely at a number of sites and were very pleased to find such a suitable venue close to our origins”.

This is only the fourth showground that Richmond will have used during its 108 year history. Secretary Adrian Perry-Coxall remarked. “whilst this is a huge challenge, everybody is very positive and regards the move as a great opportunity to enhance and improve the show”.

The show will be held on Friday 10th September - Sunday 12th September 2004. Schedules will contain all necessary details concerning the new venue.

Nick Bryce-Smith was keen to praise his fellow officers and committee for “the hard work that they have already put into this project”. He concluded “See you at Loseley Park next September.
