Just found this picture from the Royal Show.
Dear Geoff Harrison, Sheila Sykes, Caroline Ryder and Sue Bancroft manning the Dexter stand and selling raffle tickets. Sheila sold loads.

Re: Get Well Wishes to Bill Osborne!

So sorry to hear you have not been well Bill. We seem to lose touch when we get older, have so many friends and can't always keep up! Sorry. Bill and Sue had some beautiful cattle and with horns on! I remember a lovely cow that was used for a demonstration at the First World Dexter Congress. Bill wa...

Two bulletins a year!

I understand the council is planning to axe one of our bulletins at the council meeting tomorrow? I think this is unconstitutional. The bulletins are the means by which we have information and are able to advertise stock, semen etc. I know we have this website but the bulletins are there for us to k...

Re: Linnean Society Meeting.

Mark, I only found out on the Wednesday before from my brother-in-law via RBST. I can only assume an invitation would have gone to our secretary, have a look on the office computer. I would have loved to have gone.

Re: Linnean Society Meeting.

Thanks ever so much Duncan for putting info and links on here. Did you attend? My apologies if you did. My info was that there was nobody representing the DCS? Is that correct?
It was in Andrew Sheppy's memory and he was passionate about our breed.

Re: Secretary???

Well Jaqui, the statement on the DCS website, with the inferences in it, is going to cost the members a lot of money I fear. I question whether the present trustees are spending society funds wisely? [It is a very interesting and revealing exercise to look up other companies that trustees have been ...
