INTERNATIONAL COLLIE SOCIETY HANDBOOK 2010

This popular yearbook, originally entitled "The International Collie Handbook", was first published in 1980 by Audrey Chatfield of the Dunsinane Collies. Following the Millenium edition Audrey decided to hand over the editorship to Lene Halvorsen who produced the 2001 and 2002 editions before the arrival of her first child. It was then agreed the International Collie Society [the Society that Audrey had established in 1984] should take on the responsibility for its future. In 2003 Val Geddes and Pat Hutchinson were elected as editors and the Handbook renamed "The International Collie Society's Handbook".

‘The Handbook remains a most popular publication and so, at the end of 2008, Pat and Val agreed some younger blood was needed to introduce a fresh approach and a more international flavour. UK’s Jan Milligan (Alfsden Collies, email adrianmilligan@talktalk.net ) was therefore elected as the new Advertising Editor with Samantha Buckley (Kirrieloch Collies, email kirrieloch@hotmail.com) from ‘down under’, as the new Features Editor. Please support Jan and Sam by sending in kennel adverts and articles in good time (see the 2010 Booking Form link).’

Some back copies of the International Collie Handbook may still be available for purchase at competitive prices. Please check with either Val or John Geddes on 01691 778809, email:ingledenecollies@btinternet.com or your nearest agent
