ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

By | Association News

The ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the New Zealand Milking Shorthorn Assn (Inc) will now be held as follows:

Date – Friday 31 July 2020
Location – Willow Park Tavern, 820 Tremaine Avenue, Palmerston North

Members can arrive from 12pm and purchase a pub lunch before the meeting commences at 1.15 pm.  This meeting replaces the AGM that was originally scheduled for March 2020 and was postponed due to the Covid-19 global pandemic lockdown.  The agenda will remain the same as that contained in the Annual Report that was issued in early March.  A copy of this is attached, hard copies can be posted on request to the office and will be available at the meeting.

It would be helpful for meeting arrangements if you would notify the office by Wednesday 29 July if you are going to attend so that voting cards can be prepared.

This is an Annual General Meeting only to complete the constitutional requirements for the Association for the 2019 financial year.  There will be no Conference component.  Please feel free to contact Pam Goodin if you have any questions

Photo Competition Results

By | Uncategorized

For the first time ever, the NZ Milking Shorthorn Association held it’s annual Photo Competition online. Traditionally this competition is held at our annual conference, where members bring along photos and compete against each other.

Due to covid, the Association and our members adapted to the new method in the span of a month, by submitting photos to the office digitally.

Congratulations to all members who entered the Photo Competition. All entries are of high quality and really show how proud we all are of our Milking Shorthorns.
