Meet the Board
Grace Wozniak, President
When researching breeds for their first dog as adults, Grace and her husband came across a description for a Clumber Spaniel. It sounded like a dog that would meet their requirements, and off they went to meet some. It was love at first sight, and Grace welcomed her first white spaniel into her home in 2004. Her second arrived less than a year later and she began showing in conformation. As the years went by, she knew that this will always be a breed she will cherish. During her many years involved with Clumbers, she has paid attention to health concerns and welcomes the opportunity to serve and improve the breed.

Carol Page, Secretary
Carol’s interest in Clumbers started in 1983 when she and her husband bought their first one; they were encouraged to show her and became involved with the world of dogs beyond a “pet level”. As their children grew older their interests extended into working the dogs and continue to enjoy this aspect of the breed.
Carol & Chris have a joint affix, Micklemess, and they have bred several litters of Clumber Spaniels; only breeding when they are ready to add new dogs to their own pack. Their dogs have had success both in the show ring and in the field and they currently share their home with six Clumbers.
Carol joined the Committee of the Clumber Spaniel Club in 1999 and was elected Secretary in 2002, a post held until 2012 and she currently serves as Chairman of the Clumber Spaniel Club in the UK. Carol judges Clumber Spaniels at Championship level and has also judged a Field Trial.

Carol was appointed as one of the Club’s Health Officers in 2003; Breed Health Coordinator in 2012 and has served on the CSC Health & Welfare Sub Committee since its formation in 2009. She was honoured to be invited to join the Board of Directors of the Clumber Spaniel Health Foundation.
