Welcome
Dear Ridgeback Lover,
It’s time to turn thoughts to winter and maybe Christmas again,
after the really wonderful year that the Welfare Trust has had.
Twenty five years on from our formal establishment, we have a
lot to be thankful for. We seem to average out at rehoming 30 or
so Ridgebacks a year, while supporting something like 25
humans each week with helpful advice and encouragement.
What’s New? Without doubt we have been affected by the
changes to the Midlands & Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback
Club’s Support and Rescue organisation, and we were very
sorry to learn of the resignation of several of their trustees.
We at the Welfare Trust have picked up a number of sad cases of
Rescue that might not otherwise have come our way, and we think others will follow. How-
ever, we mustn’t forget that our remit is countrywide, and we are equally greatly helped by
our countrywide support. Remember, our motto is:
EVERYBODY DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE
Christmas, calendars & cards . . .
Our unique RRWT calendar for 2020 has just arrived from the
printers and is now on sale. It’s the same handy A4 format as
usual, with a page for each month with plenty of space against
each date for your notes.
We’ve already marked in the Bank Holidays for you and, of
course, all the Trust’s events - because we’d love for you to join
us. £14.00 inc. P&P
Christmas Cards- our wonderful Christmas Cards, this year
with new designs in time for Christmas
Sold in packs of 6 for £5.99 with every penny of the proceeds
going directly to benefit Ridgeback Welfare. What better

Activities . . .
Our Chieveley Rally in July proved very popular, and we are glad that for the first time it
was formally shared with members of the Southern Rhodesian Ridgeback Association, who
put on an excellent show of RR-themed activities. We hope this will become a yearly event.
The weather proved excellent, food likewise, and Trustees think some 80 people attended
with their accompanying children and canines.
Early September saw us at our usual fun venue, the Rosehill
Jamboree where Maggie has her kennels, this time with good
input from the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain.
Again well over 70 people enjoyed an
excellent programme of
fun-and-games and Maggie’s luscious

chilli lunch. In addition WT
representatives attended the shows put on by RRC of GB, that
Club’s AGM, and the AGMs of the M & N RRC and
the SRRA. We are grateful for the Clubs’ financial help, but
more particularly for the opportunities they give us to publicise

Award of the Fairman Memorial . . .
The Fairman Memorial trophy was kindly donated by Bob
Fairman, after his beloved Ridgeback Elsa, was killed whilst
defending the family against armed intruders. It is awarded by
the Trust annually to the supporter, who in the opinion of the
Trustees has significantly helped the Trust in supporting
Ridgebacks in need. This year we were proud to award the
Trophy to Clare Kapma-Saunders. Many of you will know
Clare through her jams and alcoholic beverages that she
makes and sells, the proceeds of which are donated to the
Clare being awarded the Fairman
Trust. A big thank you to Clare for her work and support. . . .

What’s Next?
The Calendar moves on. (NOTE to anyone who may have missed out, this year for the first
time we are not holding our Christmas party in early December, so don’t go hopefully to
Shipton!) We are delighted to have been invited to the M & N’s Open Show in aid of Res-
cue on Saturday 30th November. Early in the New Year Trustees will be attending the
AGMs of the M & N RRC and the RRC of GB. And early in March comes Crufts Show, yet
again, and we will as usual be manning our ringside stand – see you there perhaps?
There’s nowhere like it for picking up all the news!

RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK WELFARE TRUST
Registered Charity No. 1042184
Telephone: 0300 1010 030
The Rhodesian Ridgeback Welfare Trust “100 Club” is operated in aid of Rhodesian
Ridgeback welfare. To participate you make a donation of £12, or multiples thereof.
This covers membership of the 100 Club for one year. Each £12 will give you a set of 4
numbers which will be allocated in numerical order on receipt of each application, for
the year. Each month, on the last day of the month, 3 numbers will be randomly selected
by computer and prizes distributed to those 100 Club members with the matching
numbers. 50% of every donation will be used for Ridgeback welfare and the remaining
50% will go in prize money. Full 100 Club membership results in the following
monthly prizes:-
1st £25 - 2nd £15 - 3rd £10
Until the full 100 membership is reached, prizes will be issued pro rata. If, as we hope,
we get more than 100 members it may become a 200, 300 or even a 400 Club and the
prize money will be increased, as will the benefit to the Ridgebacks needing our help.
Please make your donation by cheque, payable to “RRWT”, and post to:
Mrs Maggie Higgins, Rosehill Farm, Steeple Claydon, Bucks. MK18 2HH
accompanied by the tear-off slip below.
