The first step towards the holding of an All Breed Championship Show under Irish Kennel Club Rules in Northern Ireland has been taken with the granting of a show date in 2004 to Bangor and North Down Canine Club.

After the requirements for applying for a Show Licence have been completed and the judges have been recommended by the Green Star and Judges’ Committee to An Ard Chomhairle for approval and granted, the show will take place on 31st July 2004.
