Bits n Pieces

Over the last couple of months we have seen a number

of our club members have a stint or stints in hospital,

namely Josie Eatts, Heather Scholz, Sheila Rammell &

Sheila Hoare. We hope that you are all recovering ladies

and that we’ll see you all up and about soon.

As you will read further on in our newsletter, you will see

that in December we lost esteemed Life Member and

Past President, Barbara Moore. Barbara lost her battle

with Cancer and was laid to rest in December. Barbara is

survived by her daughter & son Elaine & Roger and their

families, her brother Alan and his wife Sally and their

family, and not to forget her friend and partner Anne

Frederick. Our sincere condolences to all.

In January, we all said good-bye to former Committee

Member Lesley List, who decided that she would move

back to the UK to be with her mother. Lesley left

Australia on 22 January and took her 7 furkids with her.

From all reports all the kids travelled well and they are all

reunited. Anyone travelling to the UK in June/July for the

Centenary Celebrations and the Scottish Gathering will

no doubt catch up with Lesley then.

Barbara Diana Moore

24 October 1941—3 December 2012

I met Barbara & John Moore about forty three years ago when they started to show a Golden Retriever female;

Tiptree Kennels was registered and enthusiasts soon formed the Golden Retriever Club.

Barbara devoted herself to all things golden. She was a Life Member of our Club, President for many, many years, a

member of The Adelaide Hills Kennel Club for some years and a member of the South Australian Canine Association

Council for a term. The knowledge she gained from all these sources enable her to start the work required to form a

National Breed Council, of which she was the inaugural President. That enable our Club to hold the first ever Golden

Retriever National Show and Restricted Obedience Trial and the world’s first Golden Retriever Congress.

Barbara’s interest in the breed led to her encouraging people to X-Ray and hip score their breeding stock which has

meant there has been a huge improvement in the problem of Hip Dysplasia in the breed. Also when it became

evident that there were eye problems, the Club, through Barbara’s suggestion started an eye clinic for Golden

Retrievers that soon led to it becoming the annual All Breeds Eye Clinic .

It was through Barabara’s contacts that the Club was able to take on the Community Visitors Scheme which as you all

know has been highly successful and now has a total of 135 volunteers.

As a Gundog Judge, the pinnacle of her judging career would have been her appointment to judge the Golden

Retriever Club of Scotland’s Championship Show in the country of origin.

On behalf of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, the Golden Retriever Club of England, the Golden Retriever Club

of New Zealand and the Clubs of all States of Australia plus all Golden friends, many thanks for all you have done.

REST IN PEACE—BARABARA
