Essex Section Meeting
Dear Members
This is as request from the committee that you do your best to attend the next meeting on Sunday 8th August.
Due to a very low attendance at the show we need to discuss the outcome of this and need you the members for your opinions and any ideas that you may have.
A couple of suggestions are fundraising and a place for storage of our equipment.
This meeting will be conducted in an orderly manner and no exceptional raising of voices allowed.
Please be there
Regards
John Botha (Chairman) Iris Thomas (Secretary)
Essex Section Show Statement
With a week gone since this years show, we, the Essex Section committee, have come to the unfortunate conclusion that there will not be an Essex Show in 2011.
This decision has not been taken lightly has only been reached after reviewing the gate numbers, that were well down once again, and show overall revenue.
The review has shown that the section now finds itself with just enough money to pay the bills.
I would ask that all section members be at the next meeting to discuss the issues we have and the future of the section.
Kind Regards
John Botha
(Essex Section Chairman)

Our National Adventure!
After receiving a call asking if they'd like a vat, Adam and Amanda Byer from Buckinghamshire took the plunge and decided to show their fish at the National Show for the first time this year.
It was with pleasure that we opened our email this morning to find a write up of their experience that they've asked us to publish and share with you all.
