WORKING GROUP APPOINTED

As a result of the increase in membership of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society in the Burnett, Fraser Coast and Sunshine Coast areas the Queensland RPG have appointed a working group to explore opportunities for promoting the Welsh breeds in the area. The group's terms of reference are to encourage agricultural show Society's to include classes for the Welsh breeds in their schedules, introduce an annual points competition for in-hand and ridden ponies and cobs at the cooperating shows and arrange a education and activity day for members in the area.

The first meeting of the working group held at Gunalda addressed by John Riley Chairman of the Queensland RPG and Committee of Management member was attended by twenty enthusiastic members. The working group will be chaired by RPG member Sue Groundwater, Harmony Hill Stud with clerical support from Ruth Porter of Roseneath Pony Stud.
