Our Annual General Meeting and Dinner was certainly “back in the room” at Crooklands Hotel, Kendal. There was an air of positivity at the AGM and it was great to see and hear from new faces joining the meeting for the first time. Following the AGM members appreciated the opportunity to meet and catch up with friends before dinner was served.
Trophies were polished and ready to go, so after dinner, this years Flock Competition Judge Gwilym Pugh set about finding them new mantlepieces. A total of 27 flocks had entered this year, and having travelled the length and breadth of the U.K, Gwilym thanked all the competitors for their hospitality and taking the time to show off their flocks.
