Chairman’s Report by Mark Sallis
O
ur annual AGM and quiz night was once again held
at Stratford cattle market albeit a little later in the
year than usual due to the weather in February,
prompting a postponement until March. This delay did
reduce the numbers slightly as many were now calving
and/or lambing, however an enjoyable night was had by all
that attended.
The AGM saw the following appointments for 2018
Chairman – Mark Sallis
Vice-Chairman – David Savins
Treasurer – John Fellows
Secretary – Amy Cox
It was very pleasing to see club members taking three
of the top four prices at the Worcester sale in May.
Congratulations to C.H Evans & Son on selling Wroxall
Happy Chappy, for the day’s top price of 5000 guineas, to
fellow club members C.M Mercer, for use in the Bowley
herd. Other notable prices were achieved by John Rixon
(Lopemede) and James Shouler (Alchester). The sale
at Worcester in May continues to go from strength to
strength and I anticipate the additional Autumn sale at
Worcester in 2019 will be equally as successful.
Unfortunately, the show season was very quiet for
club members this year. We have seen the dispersal of a
number of great herds who were very active on the show
circuit over the last couple of years, and other members
have elected to stay at home this year for a variety of
reasons. Hopefully next year will see us out in force.
Wroxall Happy Chappy 16
Our annual Herd Competition was admirably judged
in September by Noah Hoskins, supported by our very
own Rob Hewlett, and we thank them both for generously
donating their time.

ROYAL SHOW REPORTS
After a busy show season in June and July, I attended
an NFU co-ordinated event at East Merkland in early
August, which was hosted very ably by the Dyet family. A
tremendous demonstration of stock was on show, and the
work ethos of the whole family was plain to see.
The Spring Sales dominated through until May, where
we attended the main NBA Beef event at Shrewsbury.
As gold sponsors for both NBA events, we expected,
and received, some excellent exposure for our money.
Considering it was late in the season for purchasing
breeding stock, our stand was very busy all day, and we
received some very positive enquiries.
