ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND WITH DOUBLE CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW AND BARBECUE ON 19 AND 20 SEPTEMBER 2026 IN MAASTRICHT.

100 years of passion and connection!

14 February marked exactly 100 years since the HSBC was founded in Amsterdam.

As previously announced, we will be celebrating this on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026 in Maastricht. 

A beautiful location with plenty of space and lovely outdoor facilities! There is a canteen on site and we have arranged for a food truck to be there. The canteen for your drinks and the food truck for other delicacies!

The Raad van Beheer (Dutch Kennelclub) has given us permission to hold a championship show on both days (each day with a double CAC and, for the BOBs, the title of Club Winner 2026), which we are certainly proud of.

Of course, everyone who supports the club is very welcome. Will you be there to reminisce and make new memories?

Our club shop will be open on both days and there will be a big tombola where you can win great prizes.

The programme for both days:

Saturday 19 September 2026, championship show with double CAC and for the BOBs (best short-haired and best long-haired) the title Club Winner 2026! A Dutch and a French judge have been invited! St. Bernards with pedigrees can be registered from the age of 4 months. Of course, veterans are also very welcome. What could be better than admiring those ‘grey faces’!

The grounds will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. and the judging will start at 10 a.m.

We have reserved Saturday evening for a convivial barbecue starting at 7 p.m. 

That evening, we will also honour our loyal members who have been members for 25 years this year, as well as our super loyal members who have been members for 50 years or more! Registration is required for this event!

And then on Sunday 20 September 2026: another championship show with again double CAC and, for the BOBs (best short-haired and best long-haired), the title of Club Winner 2026! A Swiss and a Dutch judge have been invited for Sunday!

Overnight stays with a camper or caravan are possible, but there is no electricity available and no possibility to shower. If you still wish to stay overnight, you must register in advance, as places are limited and full = full!

All online registration forms (KCM registration, barbecue, overnight stays, advertisement reservations, etc.) can be found on the website www.sint-bernard-hond.nl. 

Of course, we prefer online registrations. However, if you have any problems registering online, please contact the secretariat. You can do so by telephone on 0031-43-364 3867 or by email: quadromacho@planet.nl 

Are you considering sponsorship? This is, of course, very welcome. Please contact Mieke van Diepenbeek (chair) or Thea Bouwman-Boere (treasurer). Both ladies can provide you with all the information you need.

We look forward to welcoming you all and together we will make it a wonderful weekend!
