🐑🐑🐶 Annual General Meeting 2026 🐶🐑🐑

On Tuesday 20th January, the committee met for our AGM, reflecting on the brilliant year we had and making plans for the 2026 trials… more details coming soon 👀

A huge thank you to Adam Ledgar who retired after his rein as Chairman 2023-26. He’s had a fantastic few years of managing the chaos the committee and trials brings, whilst also managing the secretary role alongside support from Jo too! Thank you Jo!

A huge thank you to Francis Goodwin retiring after his rein as President. Fran has been a great President, representing our society to the public and other trials too!

We welcome Will Hurley as Chairman, Winnie Bullock as Vice Chair, Ann Eardley as President into their new roles with support from Sarah, Sarah and Jane on this year’s top table.

We’re making history with this year’s top table by having our first female vice chair and first female president.

Pictured is our brilliant committee! 🤩 We couldn’t put on the trials to such a great standard without each and every one of them!
