The Midland Counties Norfolk Terrier Association Championship and Open Shows were held at Cottage Farm, Carlton-in-Lindrick, Nottinghamshire on Saturday 10th October. In order for the show to take place the Association not only had to follow government guidelines regarding Covid 19 but also had to get their plans approved by the Police, Local Council and the Kennel Club.
