📌 Dyddiadur/Diary 2021
As the situation with Covid-19 continues to improve, more 2021 trial dates are coming in. Several have been postponed until 2022 but more than expected (at this time) are planning to go ahead. If you are able to confirm a trial date please can you do so as soon as possible. We are now aiming to pull together a digital version of our normal diary (.pdf) in April /May. This will be emailed to paid up members. If there are any subsequent cancellations or late entries these will be posted on our website and social media as usual.

It is looking more hopeful that the situation with Covid-19 will improve sufficiently by the summer to hold some trials and the Society is planning on this basis. We will try and produce a slimmed down diary if there are sufficient confirmed dates for this to be worthwhile e.g. dates from July onwards with any earlier dates posted on our media as below.
If this is possible diaries will be posted week commencing 3rd May.
Diaries will be posted to members who paid in 2020 as agreed by the Trustees in 2019. Unfortunately nearly 40 former members did not so will not receive a 2021 diary.
If it is not possible to produce a diary, dates will be publicised on our website and social media (a week before).
However, paid up members who are also members of our private group on Facebook (40% of our current membership) will be notified as and when dates are confirmed so are likely have greater advance notice. If you are on Facebook but not part of the group and are a paid up member please get in touch.
Nonetheless, we hope in these unprecedented times that you will continue to support the Society and still feel able to contribute to all the other facets including our championships, nurseries, media platforms, results, advertising services and meeting our regulatory requirements as a Charity.

👀 Trials: “a helping hand”
The Society is keen to try and help any Affiliated Trials who may be struggling to find enough committee members / helpers.
The Society is happy to use its media to help identify individual members who may be willing to help.
Please contact the Secretary if you would find this useful.
