2009 Annual General Meeting
At the AGM this year, a proposal was passed by those attending the meeting to change the name of the Circle to
YORKSHIRE LOP CIRCLE
The reason behind the name change is simply that there is no longer a county of Humberside and even the Ridings dont exist any more. It is time that our Circle brought itself up to date. We have always been innovative so it is time to change.
It is now important that all members discuss this and decide if they agree with the name change so that we can achieve a ballot later this year and then tidy up all our Constitution and rules, something that is really necessary now, after 20 years of existence.
We have even got a new Logo designed for us if this passes at ballot, please see below. If members have any queries and wish to discuss any points with members of the committee, please just send us an email, give us a ring or waylay any of us at rabbit shows.
