Treasurer Mrs Heather Harley
Field Trial Secretary Mrs Jane Manley
Working Test Secretary Mrs Sarah Young
Show Secretary Miss Louise Jones

Our Secretary Mrs Roz Bellamy stood down at the AGM, and as there were two nominations for the position a postal ballot had been held. This was won by Mrs Sharon Henesey.
There were three committee vacancies, all for a three year term. Mrs Shirley Oxford and Miss Sarah Egginton having completed their three years, were willing to stand again, and Mrs Claire Leavy had been nominated for the third position. All three were elected unopposed.
As Mrs Sharon Henesey was successful in the ballot for Secretary a committee vacancy was created. The General Committee have therefore decided to co opt Mrs Anna Crampton on to the General Committee, and this will be for a term of two years
