During the early nineteen seventies Barry Murphy (affix - Brantcliffe) brought a few sheltie friends together to form a section to enable new sheltie people to gain information and train their dogs for the show ring.

It started from small beginnings in a room in Lincoln with the committee meetings being held at Barry's home.

With the increase in membership they were eventually accepted as an official section of the English Shetland Sheepdog Club and held their meetings at the Miner's Welfare, Mapperley, Nottingham.

As membership grew they moved to larger premises at RAF Newton, Notts. and are at present holding their meetings at Gunthorpe Village Hall, Notts. 

We are now an official branch of the English Shetland Sheepdog Club. 

Any enquiries should be sent to our Secretary - Miss Sandra Taylor. 

New members are always welcome.
