NEWSLETTER FROM NAMIBIAN WAGYU SOCIETY
Dear members,
AGM
Please save the date! Our AGM will take place on 6 November 2024. A Wagyu braai will be offered to participants. Time and venue still to be confirmed.
The deadline for proposals to change bylaws is, according to our constitution, 40 days prior to the date of the AGM, by 28 September 2024.
NSBA PROBLEMS
Since many of our members have problems with the registration of animals at the NSBA, the up-keep of the data and the correctness, etc. the NSBA has offered to have a workshop meeting with NWS members, some time in November, to explain in detail the steps and processes that need to be followed. Please indicate your interest for participation by return e-mail directly to me, so we can ascertain whether there will be enough people for organizing such an event. Depending on the interest, the time and venue will be communicated.
