Committee Nominations
As a reminder, Committee membership runs from AGM to AGM, normally four years apart on rotation. Therefore new Committee members join at an AGM, and in effect vacancies don’t occur until then. We need nominations by 1st November in case there is a need for a postal ballot.
At the time of seeking nominations we expected there to be the usual four ‘vacancies’. However, Di Courtier has informed the Committee that for personal reasons she will be standing down at the next AGM. This in effect means that there will be five vacancies.
As at 1st November we had received five nominations and therefore a postal ballot was required. However, in light of Di’s retirement there will be five vacancies and so a ballot is not needed. Those re-elected to the Committee are Heather Driscoll, Jo Clayton and Wendy Tarelli. The two new members will be Aly Clayton and Leslie Bain.

Breed Health Co-ordinator
Last year Nigel Spraggins (Chairman) took on the role of Breed Health Co-ordinator for what was always intended to be an interim period. The Committee have asked Nina Parker-Miles to take on the role, which she has accepted, and this is with immediate effect.
