AGM Winter Show 2003
The AGM, held at Cambridge in the North Island, was well attended by all, not to mention the large support from the South Island. As the Society grows so do the topics for discussion, but it wasn't long before the meeting arrived at the appointment of Council for 2003. After a short break it was not long before the Pipes sounded and in came the Haggis. The Piper, well me actually, leading the way, dodging the tables, was followed in hot pursuit by Errol Clark and Berwyn Sterling. Not to mention our true Scotsman Ian Mac-Donald who addressed and skewered the haggis well. With fine Highland Beef on the menu, courtesy of Glenburn, Braco and Glenange Folds, we all enjoyed a magnificent meal. |

The night before a Human Bull was assessed with great hilarity and entertainment , but it was now time for the more serious. Getting bigger and better every year, 20 breeders with over 60 animals on show and an attendance of 250 people or more to watch these proud exhibitors pace their Highland Cattle around the ring. Some classes had to be split as the numbers were just to big. |

Held at the Cambridge Thoroughbred Lodge, formally holding the yearly horse sales, this was a great venue. With each fold having their own stalls, there were lots of room for panic. How any were groomed after such a wild night I do not know. Yet every entry really looked the part. A credit to all those who took part. |

Aldochlay of Glenloch, exhausted after a day of being push around, combed and washed, was treated by his, blown away owner, Gail McKirdy (My wife) to a big ration of hay. Having won the Best Highland of the Show, but only just as Errol and Netta Clarke showed their now Female Champion Carron of Glenburn, I suppose he had earned it. |
