SPECIAL NOTES
NSW TEAM YARDING & SORTING – GOING INTO RECESS
Following the extraordinary AGM meeting held in January 2025, unfortunately no committee was able to be formed. Members that were current at the meeting, unanimously voted to go into recess.
We will hold another meeting in November 2025, dated to be determined, so please keep an eye out for this and if you want our organisation to continue, please attend and be willing to put your hand up for a position.
All current memberships will be refunded and an email will be sent shortly on how this will be done. If you do not receive an email from the Secretary, which is currently Robyn Cam, please let me know.
Cheers Kath McKenzie – 0428712484 and I will sort it for you
