BHS Ayrshire Annual Meeting
BHS Ayrshire held their Annual Meeting at Morris Equestrian on Wednesday 15th November 2017. Following the annual meeting business, Professor Derek Knottenbelt gave a very interesting talk on his involvement with ‘Vets with Horsepower’ – what an inspirational talk.
During the annual meeting, Julie Hanna presented 4 committee members with certificates for being on the BHS Ayrshire committee for 5 years – these were presented to Isabel Forsyth, Liz McKay, Elaine Honeyman and Anne Whitehead. Well done everybody – 10 year awards are next on the agenda! BHS Ayrshire recently reached their 600th member and Gordon Thomson was present on the evening to be presented with a certificate for this and received a nice welcome from BHS Ayrshire. |
