Breed Appreciation Day 12 October 2024

I would like to thank all who attended the BMTC Breed Appreciation Day (BAD) on Saturday. I think it was a huge success with lots of positive feedback from all who attended. I am pleased to say all who took the MCE passed! Thanks go out to our speakers Ann Harrison, Paul Eardley and Gillian Knight for sharing their wealth of knowledge of our fabulous breed. Also to Clive Knight and Colin Powell for assisting in mentoring in the afternoon. Thank you to our committee members for arriving early to set it all up and clearing it away, including a wonderful buffet lunch, especially to our non committee member Dawn Harliboo Boot for helping out all day serving hot beverages and biscuits in the kitchen along with Judy Thurlow (see sneaky photo).
