Highlights of AGM 2007

 

Trophies

Chairman’s Shields for Show success in 2006

As the club did not run a show in 2006 the committee have not been able to award the Chairman’s Shields for ‘Best Cat’, ‘Best Kitten’ and ‘Best Neuter’.

Tormist Trophy for the most significant contribution by a breeder in 2006.   Has been awarded to Sharon Donaghie who despite ill health has bred a litter of kittens and shown her queens at several shows this year

 Halliday Plate for the most significant contribution (not Breeding) to the club in 2006.  Was awarded to Wendy Pusey, although she is not a member of BCC she has over the years helped with the organisation of the shows and in 2006 made a significant contribution to the organisation of the very successful Cat Fair.

 

Minutes

This year although the number of members present at the AGM was down on last year, because of the rule changes made last year we were able to pass all the proposals put forward this year.  The significant rule changes were to the date of subscription renewal, which will now be on 1st of April each year (therefore not coinciding with Christmas and the new year). Thank you to those members who did attend, those members who sent in postal votes and those members who emailed their votes. The meeting approved the minutes for 2006 and ratified the minutes for 2006.

When the meeting closed the members and committee then enjoyed an informal picnic which was held in the garden of Mill House by the lake.  Thérèse as hostess provided large jugs of ‘Pimms’ and soft drinks which was very much appreciated.  Members naturally talked about cats in general and Burmillas in particular
