At our meeting today we discussed the
letters
sent to the Affiliated Societies and it was suggested that through our
website
we should sincerely THANK all those Affiliated Societies who had taken the time and trouble
to reply with their thoughts on the actions of the BGS both with regard
to the Judges
licence and other matters.
Website:
As Sam was not at the meeting and the website
had been
checked and nothing had changed we decided to assume she had been
unable to change
this. Jennifer had already emailed
Lynne and she had agreed to do this for us.
Tagging
– Ms Hurcombe had advised us at the
last meeting that she had had a visit from Defra re tagging.They had spent almost all day with her
and she had received a letter putting her on standstill because she had
not
tagged her old goats.After this
had been looked into we were informed that goats born pre 17 July 2005
did not need to be tagged and it
was felt Defra had not understood their own rules.As Ms Hurcombe was not at the meeting we had no follow up on
what had happened to or about herherd since.
Members
were advised to fill in and return
their mixed food applications as if they mixed any foods together with
supplements it was necessary to be registered.
Brian
Perry had had his operation last
Thursday and was doing very well; a card was signed to be sent to him.
