Wednesday, 5 October, 2022 9:20 pm | No Comments

At a recent committee meeting, a vote took place and it was decided upon that The Bull Terrier Club would re-issue the ballot papers to their members, enabling the voting process to start ‘afresh’.

The Bull Terrier Club is currently working together with the Kennel Club to help move forward with the new ballot, and once a date and venue have both been established for the AGM, members will be advised.

The Committee would like to continue to reassure the members that they are doing their utmost to ensure that The Bull Terrier Club is the best possible club it can be for its members and they would like to thank you, once again, for your continued patience. The Committee would also like to apologise to the members for any inconvenience caused.

📢ANNOUNCEMENT📢

The Bull Terrier Club Committee would like to make the following announcement:

Due to issues surrounding the AGM paperwork & time-frames because of the Queen’s sad passing, the (delayed) AGM, that was scheduled for the 1st October 2022, has now been postponed.

We will advise members of the new date and venue just as soon as we can.

We would appreciate if our members would share this news wherever they possibly can with other members. We will of course be distributing this information in various ways too.

The Committee would like to thank the members of The Bull Terrier Club in advance for their patience, and for their assistance, with this matter.

We very much look forward to welcoming all those coming to the Open Show on Saturday and to those that aren’t able to make it then, we do hope to see you at the forthcoming AGM.

Extension notice for ballots

Dear Members,

Agenda, accounts and ballots have gone out. Please keep a look out and return ballots to the impartial magistrate as soon as possible. As always, there’s a short turn around but sadly because of the passing of our Queen, it has added a delay in the postal services. Therefore, the magistrate has kindly agreed to extend our deadline to the 30th September. If anyone is missing accounts, please get in touch – [email protected].

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am doing my best given the circumstances.

Kennel Club Statement

Thursday, 21 July, 2022 10:28 am | No Comments

The Kennel Club have requested that we provide the following statement to the membership for clarification of the recent events.  We are pleased that the membership confirmed all of the changes that had already occurred at the November 2021 AGM. Your committee looks forward to continuing to serve you and working together with a spirit of moving forward in a positive way.

Andrea Gates, Hon. Club Secretary

Statement by the Kennel Club on Bull Terrier Club ballot result

As a result of the recent ballot, the following have been elected to serve until the 2023 AGM:

President: ​​​Linda McGregor

Honorary Secretary​​: Andrea Gates

Honorary Treasurer​​: Anna Blair

Honorary Show Manager​: Steve Walker

Honorary Editor​​​: Rita Sinclair

Committee member​​: Mark Phillips

The Kennel Club commissioned the ballot for honorary officer positions and one committee position. This was as a result of the situation arising from the 2021 AGM, whereby the rules of the club did not allow for any other logical solution.

The ballot was facilitated by Mi-Voice and we have every confidence in the processes used.

It is the task of the committee to work cohesively in the interests of the club and the breed. Its priority now is to organise the delayed 2022 AGM. The agenda will need to include proposed changes to the constitution of the club so as to allow members to select honorary officers going forward.

The club needs to move forward from this point and accordingly we will not enter into further debate over the ballot or events leading up to it. We do not expect to adjudicate or engage at the level required in recent months. The Bull Terrier Club now has to rebuild and restore stability and confidence.

The Bull Terrier Club remains under scrutiny and a report will be made to the meeting of the Kennel Club Board on 13 September 2022.

The Kennel Club has advised the Club and running candidates of the results of the Bull Terrier Club ballot that was run by the independent company, MiVoice. They have asked us not to share the results until they provide us with a statement. We are hopeful that will be very soon as we know the membership would like to know the results ASAP.

Hon. Club Secretary
