Introducing the CCKC Management Committee 2023

Introducing the Cairns City Kennel Club Management Committee for 2023. President: Gordon Mayne I joined the Club about 10 years ago doing Pet Manners classes with my 2 Cocker Spaniels, Murphy, and Mason. Tristan, our Portuguese Water Dog, with his distinct lion trim haircut, has been part of our family for about 4.5 years. We’ve done some agility but mainly dog shows. 2023 will be my 3rd year as President. I am so proud to be amongst such an amazing group of people. This year will focus on implementing our new Rules of Association, building community partnerships, and starting work on our strategic and infrastructure planning to ensure our club is sustainable into the future. In between all this I am on the Dogs Queensland Board of Directors and work as a Principal Policy Office for Queensland Health. Cheers, Gordon Senior Vice President: Wayne Smith I enjoy taking dog and handler
