4. BRON’S BRANCH VISIT - 20th March 2011
Many of you will be very familiar with Bronwyn Edwards’ DVD, “A Basset is an Asset”.
This work by the Australian/Seattle-based, singer/songwriter is an anthem to the breed. So it was a real treat when Bron announced that during a rare visit to the U.K. she would like to meet up with us in the South East Branch.
Together with her daughter, Kendal, she attended our walk at Long Car Park, Ashdown Forest, on a sunny March Sunday morning. As you will read in Jean’s report (see page 31), this coincided with us achieving thirty hounds at a Branch walk.
Chairman Brian welcomed Bron with a short speech and presented her with a small package of ‘goodies’ - an award in recognition of her fundraising, two Basset Hound Club badges, two Branch mugs*, and a copy of our latest Lowdown.
Bron told me later that she was thrilled to meet members and their hounds - she has two at home in Seattle - and greatly enjoyed the walk on such a wonderful spring morning.
She used the occasion to film the hounds, which may become part of her next music project. So, watch this space!
* Branch mugs will be available to purchase at our walks and events at £6.50p per mug - see the enclosed flyer.
A Basset is an Asset DVD’s are still available at £12.00 (including postage & packing).
