A few relevant things mentioned: (I'll read this out to club at the next suitable opportunity as well)
- Clubs were requested to put forward ideas for the posts of Junior County Chairman and GP Vice Chairman
- It was decided that at any do's at Pure nightclub or any indoor do there will be no entry after 12 midnight from now on
- Valentines Ball will be on a saturday next year - 5th feb - to try and boost attendance
- The Fresh Start training course was well recieved and they want to know who's keen for next year - its a course covering all the basics of running your own farm business (both Pip and Burdie did it and thought it was good)
- National AGM next year is at Blackpool, 6-9 May, weekend will cost around £210
- >16 & 17 year oldsare still fine for the SWA weekend next year (there was talk of stopping them attending a while back)
- The SWA competitions day in a few weeks is at shaftsbury and gillingham county showground
- Royal Cornwall - herdsmans bar will be closed from 6pm onwards each day to the general public - only those showing cattle or exhibiting (who will have wristbands) will be allowed to enter. This is predicted to cause chaos as a lot of people turn up evenings for a drink, and there's no where else to go nearby, and no alternative laid on!
- The royal cornwall campsite will be closely monitored this year for those not paying, causing trouble etc. Apparantly its filling up fast and you need to book in advance - not sure how true that is
- Harvest festival is at truro cathedral this year on 24th sept, with do after in Pure, Newquay
- Membership across the county is down on previous years, and we need to help get it up to a higher level. PLEASE if you havn't paid up, do so. If you have a friend, bring them.
- Mole valley farmers asked if club members across Cornwall would do a 'welly conga' at RCS to set a guiness world record! However no-one felt they'd be able to get enough people together at the right time so its unlikely this will happen
