Mister the PRESIDENT of the Club du BRAQUE du BOURBONNAIS
Mister President,
I would like to tell you about the pleasure I had to answer to your invitation to the event of the 12th of novembre in CHARROUX.
I knew the efforts of your club to revive our Braques du Bourbonnais and it is pleasant to see that your success will be, very soon, recongnized by every body. On one part the type start to be fixed like the one our ancestors have known, but moreover I saw several subjects which have nothing to envy to the best continental breeds. This, however, is not a sueprise for me, as during the european Inter-Braques Field of Arthies, the Bourbonnais LURON constested the final for the CACIT and this is a clear indication of the sucess of your action.
But what I appreciated the most, it is the excellent atmosphere of your club, and gathring together sixty persons, for a born again club, is close to an exploit. Moreover the satisfaction of the former members of the club which were near me at the table (I appologize to them to have forgotten their names) was the best evidence of the revival of your club.
Perhaps have you still got a long way to go, but, Mister President, you succeded in creating Vous avez peut-être, encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir, mais, Monsieur le Président, vous avez réussi à créer emulation, the rest will follow easily.

Cynophilically yours,

The Président
Alain Picot
