Club Report 2009
The North West Midlands and North Wales Club’s year started in
January with the AGM held at the Castle Hotel, Bletchley, where approximately
50 members attended and enjoyed a beef dinner followed by a talk by
Alison Glasgow on Signet recording. This was a very informative meeting,
so much so that the two representatives from the Society didn’t
get much of a chance to talk! The Chairman for the coming year was
to be Ray Bird with Alison Clark elected Secretary. The new committee
members for this year were John White, Nigel Matthews, Arwell Rees,
Berwyn Hughes and Andrew Clark.
The Club held two stock judging events this year, the first in the
Spring at Walter Smith Farms visiting the Roughley Herd. A lot of time
and effort had gone into preparing the cattle for this event as the
majority of the cattle were tied up. The second, held at the Garnedd
herd by invitation of Ken Jones and Family, saw some very stylish calves
by Broomfield Regency and Overthwaite Ben.
The overall winners of last year’s herd competition, the Twemlows
Herd of Will and Jackie Forester, held an Open Day in June where over
200 people attended and saw some excellent cattle. The money raised
on the raffle and stock judging was given to the Air Ambulance.
This year’s Club trip went to Aberdeen where 45 people travelled
by car, plane and train to stay at the Thainstone House Hotel. We then
all travelled by coach to see the pedigree Limousin herds of the Dumbreck,
Shannas, Elrick, Anside and Emslies prefixes. This was a very enjoyable
weekend where the weather and hospitality were excellent.
Club Sales have been well supported this year with some exceptional
bulls offered for sale. Both the Welshpool and Ruthin spring sales
had a total clearance with an average of 2,250gns and 3,300gns respectively.
The Bakewell Club Sale saw the champion bull being bought by the judge
for 5,600gns - a sale centre record. In the Autumn, a sale centre record
was broken at Welshpool for a pedigree Limousin bull which was sold
for 6,600gns.
A big thank you to Harriet Wilson from the young breeders who sorted
the teams out for the Royal Show where they all went on to do well.
Harriet has since been awarded the Dennis Lomas Salver for the young
breeder who has given the most to the club.
The Club’s annual dinner and dance was held at the Boars Head
at Sudbury where 93 people attended and had a very enjoyable evening.
The herd competition judge this year was Vicky Maynard who, after the
meal, gave the herd competition results, the overall champion going
to the Twemlows Herd of Will and Jackie Forrester.
The English Winter Fair at Bingley Hall Stafford was very well attended
this year where Club members served tea, coffee and cakes on the stand,
seats being full most of the day allowing Club members and breeders
to catch up with old friends and meet new.
Membership for the club increases every year and new members are always
welcome, we are looking forward to another sociable year in 2010.
