Judging Panel

We have two new additions to the judging panel. Welcome [log in to see names] and [log in to see names]!

Show System

The NMC Show management system, which runs off the website and integrates with the membership database, has just been updated with a slew of stability and performance improvements. It did a successful beta test at Halifax, running off an auxiliary server, and then the Real London Show at Bracknell, where it ran off the main website and performed flawlessly.

Ballot

Ballot papers will soon be sent out to members. [log in to see names] is standing down as our Chairman, and a new candidate will need to be found for this post. Please let me know your proposals for this or other posts by 10 October.

New Season

A new showing season is upon us. This means we’re all equal with zero points at the moment. Of course, that’s soon to change as we are eagerly awaiting the London Championship Show.
