A National Committee manages all the activities of the Club and all Shows, Field Trials and Judging Seminars are organised at this level. Meetings are held at least 3 times a year, not including the annual meeting. Before the main meeting two sub committees meet which discuss working/field trial items and show issues.
The Areas are represented on these sub committees. All the nine Areas send three representatives to the National Committee with full voting powers so that Areas control the running of the Club. It also allows the Officers to keep in touch with the grass roots views and opinions.
The Areas manage their own affairs via their local committees and receive annually a percentage of every members subscription to help with administration costs.
