Following the recent sad death of
Christine Bateman, I have received an e-mail from Bryan with details of the funeral arrangements, anyone who knew Christine
are welcome to attend but Bryan would appreciate anybody who wishes to do so to contact him to let the family know how many
people to cater for.
The Funeral will be held at Chilterns Crematorium-Milton Chapel, Whielden Lane, Amersham, Bucks HP7

The family would prefer donation’s rather than floral tributes to the charities that Christine
supported. Donations can be made directly to the charity or via the Funeral Directors, (Heritage & Sons 33-35 Hill Avenue,

Marion
& Robert Kong e-mailed the news that last weekend that their lovely Lola had died, she had been unwell for a week and
had many tests but she became much weaker and was admitted to the Royal Veterinary College where her condition rapidly detoriated
and she died suddenly, she was born in June 2001, her sire was Doonbeg Sting and her dam Doonbeg Balti, she was not shown
very much but did a lot of different activities with Marion including Agility Obedience and Tracking, she was a marvellous
ambassador for the breed, and will be greatly missed by Marion and Robert
