5. Reports
5.1 - State Delegate – M. Stringer
Things are a bit slow at this time of year, but the committee is still working hard in the background to try and get a show calendar up and running we will continue to ask other groups to come on board and share the cost of the grounds so members have more classes to enter so fingers crossed the members will come out and support the shows. The Vic AGM is booked for the 9th of August at the Commercial Hotel Ballan starting at 11.30am then Lunch Break we will do the High Point Awards. I have been in touch with most of Agi Society to make sure they have been including mini classes, and I have updated the 2026 -2027 show dates and added them to the Website. Look forward to seeing everyone out and about this year Stay Safe. Just remember you’ll never know until you give it a go

5.4 - Judges Co-ordinator – West - S. Foss – No Report

5.5 - Futurity / Maturity Co-ordinator – J. Spiteri
Said that she is about to sent out a remember to everyone as closing date is fast approaching. This year if paperwork is not filed in correctly, it will be sent back to the member as J. Spiteri doesn’t have time to fill in all the relevant pony information and this is up to the member to fill in the paperwork. It was discussed to add that $10 fee if paperwork has to be returned
5.6 - High Points Co-ordinator – C. Dyer
46 cards went out 30 cards Returned, I’m very pleased with the turn out.
Since covid, Highpoints has come back do like the setup in the old set up of categories
makes it easier to sort and created an even playing field.
The return date and the rules that are on the cards has always been, the return time has
always been, at shows people must get their cards signed. There is a thought to extend return time to the mid or end of June due to young stock shows? Still giving us a month to sort points trophies and things required for the Presentation.
As with sponsorship for rugs has been arranged and final count of points will be done for the
presentation at the AGM. Looking forward to next season, a member has already paid for entries she has put in have informed of this meeting and next season is not finalised till the AGM.
