Saturday the 9th of April 2011 saw the members assemble at the village hall Roughton near Woodhall Spa.

Many thanks are due to Maurice Parker (our ever resourcesful vice-chairman) for arranging it all at short notice and considerable saving to the coffers of the Association.

A good turnout was treated to a mercifully short business section. This was Simon's first AGM and he handled it very smoothly. He proposed a vote of thanks for our secretary for all her efforts this year, and personally thanked Becky and Louise for their support.  Christine Hilton and Steve Higgins were elected onto council. With little business to discuss most members were happy doing what they like most- talking to other Lincoln breeders. We then wandered down to Maurice's holding and were able to see his whole flock at close quarters.

For those not familiar to this part of Lincolnshire it is an extremely pretty area, with hills!

Here are Maurice's rams and the hills.

Lunch was a very tasty offering and the raffle produced its usual crop of lucky winners. Mike Harrison must have put jam on his tickets they came out so often, while Annie Wright broke a 40 year hoodoo to bag a prize. Thanks to Ian and Louise for organising it.

Frank proposed a motion of thanks to Maurice for his efforts and made a plea for ledgible registration forms this year.

Let's hope the weather continues to be kind and we are in for some great shows.
