HUNGARIAN VIZSLA SOCIETY Notice of Annual General Meeting
To be held on Sunday 24th February 2019, at Moulsoe Millennium Village Hall, Cranfield Rd, Moulsoe Newport Pagnell MK16 0HB - commencing at 2.15pm prompt.
We are offering at the Annual General Meeting, three www.vizsla.org.uk tables made up of one breed specialist with four guests on a first come first served basis. The format will be 25 minutes with your breed specialist and your three colleagues to ask any question whatsoever which is Vizsla specific. It will be limited to four people so that it becomes an intimate and precious moment, where hopefully you will learn something that you will treasure for many years to come.
The three specialists that have agreed to do this for you and to put their heads above the parapet are our President
Sylvia Cox who will talk about “The Hidden Critique”,
our past Chairman and Field Trial Secretary Suzanne Harris whose title is “Designed to Work”
and Breed Education Coordinator (BEC) Christine Ryan who will talk about “A Century of Breed Type”.
Between them they have issued many sets of Challenge Certificates and have over 100 years of experience with the Vizsla. There is no cost to this - absolutely free for something that money couldn't buy.
If you get to the AGM at least 40 minutes before it starts, and you happen to be one of the first dozen people there, you will be able to share their expert knowledge in an intimate way and not in a large classroom situation. We will even have beverages and cake available to you for your one-to-one with your breed specialist. Why don't you ask them about that moment in time when their Vizsla mentor shared knowledge with them and what it was? The stopwatch will beep at the end of 20 minutes and we will quickly go towards the start of the Annual General Meeting itself. If that is an opportunity that you would like to take up - you need to be at the AGM at least 35 minutes before the start of the meeting (scheduled for 2pm).
We look forward to seeing those that want to take up the offer. It could be a "Precious Moment" for years to come.
