Following the Society AGM earlier this month, the Clun Forest Sheep Breeders Society council met on Wednesday 27th November to ratify the nominations to serve on the council.

​Del Knowles was re-elected to serve a second term as Chair with Claire Wilkins elected as the Vice-Chair.

Anna Pennell has submitted her resignation to step down as a council member and we thank Anna for all her hard work over the years, especially her show ring successes and we hope she will continue be a wonderful breed ambassador supporting the breed and the Society.

Paul Murray has now taken on the role of North & Scotland region representative and Craig Phillips was co-opted onto the council to represent the Midlands/ Central England region.

If any member has any ideas, suggestions or questions for our office bearers or regional representatives then their contact details can be found on this website.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Saturday 16th November 2024 saw Clun Forest Sheep Breeders Society members from across the UK gather at the Salwey Arms near Ludlow for the Society’s 99th Annual General Meeting and Prize Giving Dinner.

A good turnout of over 30 members attended the AGM which was followed by the prize giving dinner with presentation of the Society’s trophies by the Society President’s wife, Celia Price of the Trewyrlod Flock.

16 awards were presented during the evening, including the coveted Gerald Vaughan Cup for Ram of the Year to P & L Murray of Inside Hype Flock, and both the The Laidlaw Prize for Female of the Year and the LT. Col. Palmer Trophy for Exhibitor of the Year, which were won by Anna Pennell of the Nipna Flock.
