CLUB REPORT 2010

Social Evening
A skittles night and supper was held at the New Inn pub in Towcester. We had competed with Northants Stockman’s Club and lost by one point, but a good night. Our Thanks go to Barbara Smith for organising the evening.

Club Show & BBQ
It was a lovely sunny day after a week of rain when we had our show at Twelve Oaks Farm by kind permission Jo and Dave Chambers, who then went on to win the Championship and Reserve, which ere chose by our Judge, James Draper (Claybury), who was very patient and helpful as some of the classes did not go as to plan (HA HA). Our thanks go to the Chambers family for all their hard work in setting up and organising the show.

Club Show & Sale
Held for the first time at Market Harborough; a good turn out of sheep judged by John Williams (Honeyhill). Champion went to R M Lawrence (Far Cotton); reserve went to R B Smith (Slapton). There was a good commercial trade with 98% clearance.

Flock Competition
This year we joined with the Eastern Texel Club to make for a better competition, our thanks go to Simon Farmer for judging, John Williams and Sylvia Rawlings for organising the event.

Christmas Lunch
Was held at the Rose & Crown in Yardley Hastings where a good turn out of members and friends enjoyed a very pleasant Sunday afternoon.

Shows
We would like to congratulate all members that took part in local and National shows, especially Neil and Emma Pamplin with their Gimmer, who was later sold at Worcester to Malcolm Reid.

I would like to welcome our new members to the Club and wish all our members a good New Year

Melanie Kellet
Club Secretary.
