Lleyn Sheep Society

Supporting Lleyn Breeders in the South West of England
Chairman – John Adams
Vice Chairman – Hefin Llwyd
Treasurer – Gill Adams
Secretary – Cathy Evans

The West Country Club is extremely active. We have 4 or 5 meetings a year, and our Annual Dinner:
• Veterinary talks and discussions
• Ewe lamb selection workshops
• Ram production workshops
• Showing workshops
• Farm Walks and Open Days
• Visits to leading breeders in other parts of the Country.

Membership of the Club allows you to get to know fellow Lleyn breeders in the area. There is plenty of friendly help and support when you need it and you can keep up to date through the newsletters we send out regularly throughout the year.

For those interested in showing, there are eight local shows with Lleyn Classes:
• Devon County
• Bath & West
• Royal Cornwall
• Dorset County
• Launceston
• Woolsery
• North Devon
• Okehampton.

Finally, the Annual Society SW Sale of Lleyn Sheep is held at Exeter Livestock Centre at the end of August each year ). The evening before the Sale we have a pre-Sale Show, hosted by the Club, and with a West Country Buffet.

Why not join the Club? If you have Lleyns in our area, membership is a must! And it only costs £10 per person per year. Just send a cheque (made out to West Country Lleyn Sheep Breeders Club) to our Treasurer to become a member. (Gill Adams, Little Treviles, Ruan Highlanes, Truro, Cornwall, TR2 5NR.)

Open Day

Sunday August 10th 2008

Longridge Farm, Callington, Cornwall.

Alan and Karen Stephens, Flock 1458

In 2007, Alan and Karen volunteered to host our Annual Open Day. The huge effort that they, and the Open Day Team, put into organising, publicising and setting up the event was totally kiboshed by the FMD outbreak.

As Alan ruefully said ‘ well, I suppose it made me tidy up a bit earlier than I would have done....'

Alan and Karen have bravely volunteered again for 2008. Stars!
