The Annual General Meeting and Members Meeting for 2024 was held on Saturday 20th April 2024 at Weyhill Fairground Hall, Weyhill, and was followed by a Members meeting.

Three retiring committee members (Stella Callow, Peter Mullens and Melanie Toogood) were re-elected to the committee for a further two years, while Richard Perry and Sarah Perry are both standing down from the committee after many years serving on the committee in a variety of roles. Paul Toogood was elected as the new Chairman with Peter Mullens as Vice-Chair..

Due to circumstances arising from the current weather conditions, it is, with regret, that we have had to cancel our Easter Meet for 2024 at Evesham. More details, including information about refunds, will be sent in due course by the booking officer.

The follow-on meet at Brailes has also had to be cancelled due to the condition of the field.

We will be holding our usual meet at Lacock next year starting on Friday 24th May. This is a quiet site and convenient for visiting the Chippenham Folk Festival.

Details of this meet were omitted from the 2024 Fixtures List published recently, but we can confirm it is definitely going ahead in 2024 as usual, and we are looking forward to welcoming visitors from far afield as well as our regular Wessex members.

Melanie and Paul have been very busy putting together an exciting camping calendar for us to enjoy in 2024.  The details are on our website (wessexfdsg.org/meets).

If you would like to steward one of these meets, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Melanie and Paul. Remember – if we have no steward, we have no meet! If you would like to know what stewarding entails, please talk to any member of the Committee and we can talk it through – and don’t panic, there is always someone on site to help out!
