Great how members are told after the event! When was this decided? Have the office staffed moved with the office or are the society recruiting new staff.

Nat, the reason for the lack of advance notice was given at the AGM yesterday. This was to facilitate the withdrawal negotiations with the Charolais Society, who were hosting the DCS office.
The Company Secretary is Andy Ryder, as in the post above. There is longer a Breed Secretary as such, since most of the jobs done by the outgoing secretary have now been outsourced. There is a budget possibly for one national part-time position. However, the suggestion proposed yesterday was for each regional group to have a volunteer with a budget to co-ordinate breed promotion, beef marketing and such like activities. All part of devolving from the centre and engaging more of the membership to participate in breed activities and organisation.
