Open Day 2012
In the middle of June we had a very successful Open Day at Fiona and Noel Gordon’s lovely house near Maidstone. Unlike many other events this year, the weather was kind although Fiona had a few panics the week before as to whether we would all have to move indoors. However apart from a couple of short lived showers, the sun shone and we all enjoyed a superb barbecue lunch on the terrace. Before that we looked at Fiona’s flock and Jean Blacknell led a very informative and interesting discussion about all aspects of the breed and sheep keeping generally.
After lunch there was a hands on session on halter training, washing and preparing sheep for showing and how to show your sheep in the ring to best advantage.
As always Jean was full of useful advice and helpful tips!
It was nice to see some new faces, particularly young ones, and hopefully some of them will now feel they have the confidence to have a go at showing.
Thank you again to Fiona and Noel for their hospitality
