Central Club

Club activities got back underway in a more normal fashion in 2022, with Club members enjoying a spring visit to the Lucombe herd of James and Tina Fanshawe, Northamptonshire.

Members, along with some Wales and Borders Club members enjoyed a warm welcome, with a full guided tour of the herd, viewing cow and calf groups as well as several bulls and the youngstock.

A big thank you to our hosts James and Tina, without whose generosity Club events would not happen.

In addition, the Club once again staged its herd competition with the Podehole herd once again taking the overall championship honours. The Club extends its congratulations to the Horrells for their success in the inaugural National Herd Competition too.

The Central Club welcomes new members from the Welsh borders across to the East Coast. If you would like to become involved with the Club please contact us at centralbshclub@gmail.com
