Chairman’s Report
In summary the chairman reported that
the club had held a quiz at last year’s AGM which was very
well supported. We held our annual dinner at the King Charles
Restaurant in Worcester with speaker David Edwards. Kenilworth
Show was attended by several members which was good to see. At
the last Royal Show, numbers of Simmentals were also high and he
congratulated Boddingtons on their success. Our farm walk
this year, by kind permission of Dave and Nikky Field, was held
at Burytown Simmentals and the Chairman thanked them both for their
hospitality. This year’s herd competition was judged
by Danny Wyllie. The club’s Calf show was extremely
well attended and was judged by David Barker. The Christmas
meal once again had record numbers in attendance and was also a
great success.
Treasurers Report
The club started out the year with £1891.50
in the bank account and finished with £2218.70

Other events throughout the
year
The club’s Annual Dinner had
not yet been booked and it would be discussed at the next committee
meeting.
Any Other Business
John Fellows explained that if the
club was to purchase some numbers for all entrants to use at the
Stock Show it would make the job of stewarding so much easier,
this would be discussed at the next meeting. He also said
we were yet to receive an invoice from Cirencester Market for the
use of this facility so this would need bearing in mind when looking
at the financial figures for 2009.
Dave Field questioned the high bank
charge the club was incurring. John Fellows explained that
we get charged for every single cheque and withdrawal the club
makes, which all adds up throughout the year. It was suggested
that this should be looked into to see if there was any chance
of reducing these in the future.
David Bell commented on the very low
numbers (14) of paid up club members. This would also be
discussed at the next committee meeting to try and improve this
situation.
John Rixon thanked Pete Burgess for
all his energy and enthusiasm during his term as Chairman. He also
thanked Sam Evans for all her hard work and efforts during her
time as secretary.
Date of Next Meeting
No date was set for the next committee
meeting.
Meeting closed.
