The Club was very sorry to hear of the death of former Club President Margaret Journeaux. Margaret and her "Navyvillas" Japanese Chins lived in Jersey and she would regularly attend some of our Championship Shows with her dogs right up into the nineteen nineties. She was best known for her striking bright red and whites. Although no longer active in the ring herself she still retained an interest in the breed and loved a "Chin Chat" over the phone. Although she had not been in the best of health for the last couple of years, with a little help from her friends she was able to get to the Jersey Kennel Club shows right up to last year. Her funeral will take place on Tuesday 24 January when she will be laid to rest with her late husband Bevan. Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
