With many shows taken place this year we have already began to format the Journal for 2015. Please can we remind people to submit their reports, any regional herd visits or reports, club herd competition results and reports along with any photos to claire@shorthorn.co.uk for preparation towards this years Journal as the deadline of October is fast approaching. In relation to adverts the price remains at the very reasonable rate of £125 per page. If you have not advertised before we urge you to consider putting an advert in this year. It is the most effective way of promoting your herd to other interested people and is a service we provide for our members. The cost of the advert barely covers the cost of printing. Please submit all adverts to claire@shorthorn.co.uk

We also have a page of small classified adverts in the journal which are available at the very reasonable price of £50 +VAT. Do you think any of your suppliers would consider taking out one of these adverts? The size is 9cms x 6 cms landscape. If you could persuade any of your suppliers to take one of these adverts please let us have contact details or ask them to contact us at the office. Two pages of these would be a great help in financing the journal and would help to keep the cost of member adverts to a minimum.
