Thanks

Although the committee is entirely made up of people who give up their time to keep the club ticking along and get the next show going, some of these volunteers do a huge amount of work for the club and deserve special mention.  At the July committee meeting there was a vote of thanks for the club secretary, Margaret Morgan, not only for all the work she does as secretary but for her efforts in organising fund-raising and sponsorship.

Committee Meeting – 9th July 2013
Apart from a few regular items most of the committee meeting was dedicated to discussing fund-raising for the 2014 show.

- 2014 / 60th All Breeds Show:
-- Fund-raising barbecues will be held at Mitre 10, the Warehouse, and the Mad Butcher.
-- Other fund-raising projects include producing a calendar and running raffles at the barbecues.
-- BK Motels has kindly donated a two-night accommodation package which we will use as a raffle prize.
-- The committee reviewed accommodation and meal costs for judges.
-- Options for prizes were discussed at length and the offer by Judy James to make prizes from donated fabric is much appreciated.
-- A form for recording sponsorship arrangements has been drafted using the NZCF form with PNCC checklist and details printed on the reverse.
-- The hire of an extra hall at the venue was reviewed for cost effectiveness given the generally lower number of entries being experienced at shows this year.
-- The problem of white towels for the judging bench not being used when supplied by the exhibitors was raised.  The committee resolved that this should be included as part of the PNCC show rules and that it should be made clear to handlers and judges that, where supplied, these towels are to be used.

- Next Meeting: Tuesday, 13 August 2013
-- Time: 7pm
-- Location: Meeting Room, McDonalds, Princess Street
