Sadly, our AGM for 2020 will not be our usual get together due to the current restrictions and it has now been rescheduled as a Zoom meeting for Saturday 12th December 2020 at 7.00pm. We welcome you all, as the more who attend, the wider the representation of views and suggestions to take the Society forward.

Could members wishing to attend on zoom please contact Steph (admin@clunforestsheep.org.uk) so that she can send out the relevant information and password beforehand.

This is also the time when nominations for council are considered. The position of Vice Chair is currently vacant and we’re actively seeking new members to join the Council. Meetings are held approximately four times per year and at the moment are being conducted online.

LAST ROYAL SHOW IN 2009 PHOTOS ADDED TO ARCHIVE

The Royal Show Championship was for many years the the 'Holy Grail' of every livestock showman but 1990's saw a decline in the show and finally in 2009 the show ceased to exist.  The judge that final year, Nigel Faulkner, has managed to find the historical moments of the last clun classes at the world famous show (captured by his wife Claire) and they have now been added to the archive page.  There are 23 in total on the archive page, but here is a selection and we are hopeful that more will follow from Nigel & Claire.  If you have any photos, press cutting or catalogue you'd like digitally copied and added then drop me a email at mike.eckley@btinternet.com
