There was a presentation to the President of the Irish Kennel Club at 8.30 p.m. on Friday, 14th February 2003 at The Engineer’s Club, 22 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.

The presentation was to mark the retirement of Mr. Tom Creamer who has been the Chairman and first President of the Irish Kennel Club for the past 16 years. His association with the Irish Kennel Club goes back considerably longer than that but his time as Chairman/President has been crowned by the building of the Irish Kennel Club’s own National Show Centre at Cloghran. This project has been one to which he has given generously of his time and devotion and the successful completion of which is largely due to his tireless efforts.

He will also be remembered as a great ambassador for Ireland and the Irish Kennel Club around the world at the many meetings of the F.C.I. which he has attended and where he is held in very high esteem.
