Congratulations to Stephen Maynard on his BIS with a Dutch. Regrettably I did not get to see the mouse or pit my own Dutch against his but there is always next year.
At the AGM I suggested we use some of the accumulated savings account interest to pay for some promotional advertising of the NMC via the Fur & Feather publication. I am pleased to say that Stephan used his skills to produce a smart advert and this has now gone to print.
We will be in a brand new year when you receive this.
I would like us all to remember that a culture is a collective appreciation of something. In our case the fancy mouse which has brought us together under the umbrella of the National Mouse Club. We are a very niche culture, special, and we should strive to keep our collective united.
Hope to see you all at shows in 2025.
