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.
