HISTORY OF
LCC
The end of the Second World-War, bringing with it an anticipation of the resumption of nationwide Canine Shows, encouraged a group of London based Collie enthusiasts to establish a new specialist regional club dedicated to promoting the Collie whether Rough or Smooth coated.
The London Collie Club was granted its title in 1947, making it one of the earliest post-war Regional Collie Clubs, with Mr H. W. Webber ‘Hawkridge’ as secretary, a position he held for just one year before handing the reigns to Mr J. M. Crutchfield. During the next thirty-two years the London Collie Club endured a total of eleven different secretaries, only one of which served more than two or three years, although two were to serve two separate terms separated by a number of years. The kind of stability other clubs had enjoyed eventually arrived in 1980 when Mr Frank Mitchell ‘Glenmist’ took the club in hand, remaining in the secretarys post until 2004.
On the 28th of May 1955, eight years after its foundation, the London Collie Club held its first Championship Show where Mrs Nadine George did the double with Beulah’s Blanco-Y-Negro and Beulah’s Silver Maravella, both home bred, under respected all-rounder Mr J. Garrow who had judged Rough Collies at this level on four previous occasions, the first being Bath Canine Society in 1949. The London Collie Club has since hosted an annual Championship Show, in mid June, scheduling classes for both Rough and Smooth Collies.
