Club Report 2009
2009 saw new brooms trying to sweep clean, a fresh
team of officers had been elected at the AGM. Our first event of
the New Year was the awards presentation and lunch at Cirencester,
which was again well attended; a presentation was made to Roger
Bush for his many years service to the club.
With lambing out of
the way we came back to life with a grassland evening in April
and our annual pilgrimage to the dogs in May. June saw us at the
Three Counties Show where the club won the sheep breed stand –
must have been the herbs!
Some members attended the last Royal Show,
(see photos) in various guises; we weren’t the downfall, honestly!!
This year we ventured
to Hampshire joining up with the South West club for visits to
LEP Farms and all at Drayton Farms – one request please – can we
come back when the wine is ready Syd?
The chairman’s lunch was
held at Steventon courtesy of Andrew and Sylvia Pajak, unfortunately
the weather meant that numbers were down.
Our
in-lamb sale in December was the best ever with a buoyant trade
and a good clearance. The champion gimmer went to Penstones with
Claybury reserve.
The carcase competition was again held, thanks
to John King, at Gloucester with 50 carcases averaging £100 – fantastic.
Congratulations to all who have kept the club in the news.
