Agricultural Club
Chairperson’s annual
report 27th July 2014
It is my pleasure to
present the annual report for the 2014 Lincoln Boys and Girls Agricultural
Club.
Once again, we had good
weather and a great turn out of animals for judging, managing to overcome the
challenge of wind and no indoor facilities being available.
The splitting up of lamb
judging into three categories of junior, intermediate and senior worked well,
though we did sort the ages to limit the larger numbers in the senior area. Junior lambs are Years 1-3, Intermediate
Years 4-6 and Senior Years 7-8.
The failure of the Beef
calf judge to turn up held up the prize giving as the dairy judges had to then
complete the Beef judging, although all participants were adaptable and we had
a great day. Next year we will take this
into account.
Two new cups were donated
by CRT for the junior and senior kids and went to Greenpark and Tai Tapu this
year. A full list of results and cups
awarded is on the following page.
There is an issue that now
rises with our costs outweighing potential income, now that Greenpark School
has closed. We will need to think
creatively about how to manage within our finances or to widen our group.
The ANZ bank account in
Hornby has been closed and we are in the tricky process of opening an ASB
account in Lincoln. The outgoing shool
should have all the documentation ready for the next school to aid the
transition.
Many thanks to the judges
who give hours of their time and expertise willingly, many who have been doing
so since their own children were in The Agricultural Club.
Finally, thanks to the
Springston parents involved in Pet Days for all their support, Joyce the
Springston School secretary for dealing with the finances and to Leteisha Brook
for supplying lunch for the judges free of charge.
Yours Sincerely
Allana Taylor
