The website is still attracting visitors offering information to prospective customers and keeping members up-to-date.

Any suggestions toward the website are welcomed.
A decision was taken at the 2007 committee meeting to increase subscriptions to £15 and members were asked in previous newsletters to amend their standing orders to facilitate this. There are still a few members who have not instructed their banks to increase this payment and can you please ensure that the 2011 payment is for the correct amount of £15.00, A decision was taken at the 2008 committee meeting that the secretary ensure subscriptions are up-to-date to allow registrations for the Show and Sale to be taken. Members in arrears will not be allowed to enter.
Members are being lost to retirement and the poor farming status but new memberships this year have been taken. Please do your best to promote our breed and attract new memberships.
The date is Saturday 8th October 2011. Please note that subscriptions must be fully paid for registration to this event.
For the first time last year, due to financial implications we decided to sponsor categories within Clitheroe Show and it has been decided to follow this route again. If anyone has connections who may be interested in a small sponsorship or indeed, would like to sponsor a category themselves, please advice the secretary so this can be followed up.
The venue of the Annual General Meeting alternates between Rossendale and Derbyshire and the 2011 meeting falls in Derbyshire and therefore will be held at The Snake Pass Inn Wednesday 19th October 2011 Anyone wishing to voice any matters must put this in writing to the secretary at the above address no later than 31 st July 2011. It was also discussed that refreshments will be covered by members present at a cost of £5 per person.
As discussed at previous meetings, all Committee Meetings will now be based in Rossendale as this is where the core of the committee are based. Date and venue TBC
