Most visitors to
the site will know of the famous commentator
Nick Brookes-Ward who commentates
at Crufts and many other major events
throughout the year. |
|
Nicks amusing
introductions of the Tykes at Crufts have
almost become a humorous legend in themselves
and Nick was often jokingly referred to as President of the Tricky Tykes Fan Club. |
|
The last time the
Tricky Tykes appeared at Crufts, the Tykes
Leaders along with some of the
Ringside Officials and long term familiar
faces at Crufts hatched an amusing plot
to give Nick a bit of a surprise. |
| Team Leaders John Goddard-Fenwick & Lyn Moran managed to find an artist doing caricatures at Crufts and arranged for him to do one of Nick being chased across the Ring, microphone in hand by a pack of enthusiastic Tykes. |
 |
|
With the help of
some of the Kennel Club girls a photograph of
Nick was obtained and the artist duly
set to work. |
At the end of the
Tykes final performance that year Nick was
called
into the centre of the Ring ,
formally presented with the picture and officially
proclaimed to be the Tricky Tykes Fan
Club's Honorary President to the thunderous
applause of the audience. |
|
Nick was much amused and announced he
would get the cartoon framed. |
|
So now we are
proud to say he is - Honorary
President of the Tricky Tykes Fan Club. |
| Thanks Nick. |
