The Central Charollais Region held their annual flock competition this month and celebrated the event with a prize giving lunch held at The Croft, Beaconsfield Park, Shrewsbury, whereby judge for the competition, Tom Wales of the Thackwood flock, presented his results. 

The Central Region would like to thank Tom and his girlfriend Freya for coming down from Cumbria to judge, as well as thank everyone who took the time to enter. Some 11 flocks took part in the competition which is testament to the enthusiasm for the breed in the area. 

Chairman for the Central region, David Roberts, also presented outgoing chairman Cecil Thomas with a crook following a speech from Nick Hart thanking Cecil for his dedication and hard work as chairman for the last six years and three years prior to that with a break in between.
