The 38th annual NGC show was held at the beautiful Sheraton Newark Airport Hotel, in a location which is convenient to all exhibitors whether they arrived by air or by auto. The site is central for those driving from New England, New York and the Virginia/Maryland/Pennsylvania area. Members and exhibitors who came to the show agreed that flying into Newark International Airport proved that the Sheraton Newark site was ideal for air travelers. At this time we plan to have the 39th annual show in the same location on Saturday, 10/25/08.
Keith, who is from Kent, England and who is a Panel Judge of the International Gloster Breeders Association, has been a Gloster breeder and exhibitor for over thirty years.

The NGC Awards Banquet -The National Gloster Club has always sponsored a banquet in the evening on the day of
the show. The banquet is most importantly a social gathering at which exhibitors and
breeders from the U.S. and Canada
have the opportunity to enjoy one another's
company, exchange ideas, relate experiences, and plan for the future.
The Banquet also offers the opportunity to recognize and present awards to the winners and
for the judge to offer his/her observations to those attending.
If you plan to exhibit at or visit the NGC Show, make every effort to attend the Banquet.
It is a most rewarding and very enjoyable part of the show. It is at the banquet that
individual winners are recognized.
