| Administrative History | "Rabbits have been around for a very long time - they were introduced by the Normans. The showing and exhibition of rabbits - known as "The Fancy" - started more than 200 years ago. By the middle of the nineteenth century there were many Local Clubs which had formed with the objective of holding regular shows for their Fanciers to enjoy. By the end of the 1800's Specialist Clubs had formed who were devoted to the improvement of individual breeds of rabbit." - From the British Rabbit Council website. |
