At this yeay’s Branch AGM, Michael Errey, who has retired from being Hon Treasurer, was elected as the Branch’s first President.

Michael has been treasurer since the Branch’s inception over forty years ago and has graciously agreed to accept this honour.

The committee wanted to formally recognise this remarkable service to the Branch and breed - Michael had also been a distinguished Chairman of the Basset Hound Club for a number of years. He has an unsurpassed knowledge of Basset Hounds, both in the show ring and the hunting field.

The role of President is held for a period of five years.

Also at the AGM, Jayne Cooper was elected Hon Treasurer. Jayne, together with husband, Chris, joined the committee last year and has been a long-standing and enthusiastic member of the South East Branch.

The Branch committee is lucky to have such good people to call upon.
