Texel Social Weekend & AGM 2008 in Devon

2008 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The 2008 Texel Sheep Society Annual General Meeting was held at the Tiverton Hotel, Devon on Saturday, 15th November and was followed by two fantastic flock visits to the Peacehay and Loosebeare Flocks of David Chave in Somerset and Paul Quick in Devon.

We would like to thank the Chave and Quick families for their wonderful hospitality and allowing us to view their tremendous flocks. Again, as in previous years the Society arranged for a coach to collect members and return them to the Hotel in plenty of time for the very social dinner and dance in the evening.
