HEADING WALES WELSH REGION FLOCK COMPETITION RESULTS Judge: David Roberts, Shropshire Welsh Region Again the Charollais breeders in the Welsh Region have had another successful show season. Congratulations to everyone who has turned out at local, county and at the Royal Welsh Show. Everyone is doing an excellent job of promoting the breed.

AGM We were hoping to have had our AGM and presentation in November but unfortunately, due to work commitments this has been put off until mid/late January. Just to finish off, we hope that you are all having a successful lambing and we wish you all a NADOLIG LLAWEN A BLWYDDYN NEWYDD DDA!
MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE Our sincere apologies to all vendors and friends who booked in for the meal at Builth II on Sunday evening. We were completely let down by the catering company who failed to turn up, despite confirmation from them, they had the next Sunday in their diary! We have contacted an alternative caterer who are already on site and the Charolais Cattle Society have agreed they may use their premises - so 2020 we will have our meal together.
