The British Simmental Review 2022

REGIONAL CLUB REPORTS
Borderway Agri Expo Simmental Calf Show Judge
Varrie Loggie with Supreme & Junior Champion
Newbiemains Noble Wynn and breeder Jim Goldie
with helper Grant Rhind.
The show report can be found in the show
section of the Review, so on behalf of
the Club, and the Society, I would firstly
like to thank Varrie for giving up her time
and carrying out the judging quietly and
confidently. Secondly a huge thanks to
everybody who exhibited their calves. It
takes time and commitment to do this
and is much appreciated. Thirdly a big
thank you to all the club members who
sourced sponsorship and to the sponsors
themselves, some of whom are regulars at
this event. Lastly thank you to Joel McGarva
for his commentary and to H&H staff for
stewarding.
It was great to see a successful second staging of the Next Generation Sale in
December and here in the North West region at H&H’s Borderway Mart, Carlisle.
The promotional and hospitality stand this
year was moved in close proximity to the
show ring and we hope to continue build
upon the profile of this at next year’s event.
The quality of the cattle on the stand was
excellent, again supplied by Irvine and
Yvonne Pearson. A huge thanks to you both.
On the stand club members and Society staff
ensured visitors were well catered for when
calling in.
Our final event of the year was our Christmas
meal, again held at the Lowther Arms,
Hackthorpe. Comfortable surroundings,
good food, great company and another of
Wendy Dickinsons legendary quizzes made
for a very enjoyable evening.
I would like to finish by thanking all club
members for their support and help at
events through the year. With a special
mention to Sarah as club secretary for
pulling everything together.
Best wishes to all for the coming year.
