SUPPORT CAMP BEAGLE
The officers and committee of the Beagle Association are extremely concerned
regarding the welfare of the beagle puppies being bred and reared at MBR Acres for
the purpose of regulatory and scientific procedures. We enjoy the total support of all
the UK beagle breed clubs and are anxious to raise awareness of this sad and
exploitative situation of our lovely breed.
We encourage you to read the letter in the following link and forward it to your MP
with the covering letter if you are in agreement with the contents.
Camp Beagle has maintained a presence at MBR for 4 years and have fought
tirelessly to raise awareness of the plight of the puppies unlucky enough to be bred
there. As beagle lovers we need to do everything in our power to support the group
in its endeavours
Do visit their website for a wealth of information.
Doug Hall
It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our President, Doug Hall (Cliffmere). He was a dedicated and valued member of The Beagle Association for many years, and his wonderful sense of humour will be deeply missed by all.
Our thoughts are with Wendy and their family.
There will be a Celebration of Doug's life on Thursday, 3rd July 2025 at 1pm at South Lincolnshire Crematorium, Gosberton Road, Surfleet Lincolnshire PE11 4AA.
The Family would prefer to have donations made to St Barnabas Hospice in memory of Doug instead of flowers. A wake will follow, there is no formal black dress code. Full information is on Doug's Memorial page

The Beagle Association is supporting the Canine Genetics Centre who have launched a new appeal. Their target is to raise £345k to secure the Canine Genetics Centre over the next twelve months whilst they develop a longer-term funding strategy.
The Canine Genetics team are encouraging Breed Clubs/Societies, individual members, breeders and dog owners to engage with their work and fundraise to support their future. This is a one-off campaign and they do not intend to make an appeal on this scale again.
You can either DONATE directly, knowing that with Gift Aid, every £1 you
donate means £1.25 for the CGC. Or you can PLEDGE, allowing you to donate in the future, in increments and over a longer period of time, providing much needed flexibility for you, but security for them.
​
For more details on the APPEAL please see their appeal launch page -

Thank you for your support.
