More than 100 enthusiastic Suffolk Club members and friends enjoyed delicious food and excellent company at the annual dinner at the Waveney House Hotel in March. It was a good chance to catch up and celebrate the winners of the 2014 herds competition which was judged by Tom Barrett in July.

The herd competition this year will be held in July; forms will be available from Club secretary, Lindsay Burroughs, in due course.

 

Our annual stockjudging meeting will this year be held by kind permission of the Smith Family at the Wigboro herd on Sunday 7th June. As well as HYB linear and stockjudging, there will also be a farm walk to have a look at the impressive new set up which the Smith family have undertaken. All are welcome to come along.
