What a great night we had at our social evening on 23rd August, we would like to thank everyone who attended for making it such a successful night.

The buffet was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, and highly recommend Harry and his team for the professional service and quality of the food which they provided.

The bar was also enjoyed and we would like to thank the Nithsdale Hotel for providing the fully stocked bar, keeping glasses full and ensuring our night was a success.

**Just a reminder to any clients that own poultry, including ducks. **

Due to an outbreak of Avian Influenza, from the 14th of December, measures must be taken to prevent contact with wild birds. Guidelines in the post below.

In addition, any dead waterfowl or birds of prey should be reported to the Defra helpline.

Keep up to date using the following webpage - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/avian-influenza-bird-flu-national-prevention-zone-declared

Be prepared for new housing measures coming in on 14 December 2020 and consider how you can house your birds. You could make use of garden sheds, barns or even your garage if there is enough natural light and ventilation. If you cannot house, you must put measures in place to prevent contact with wild birds - for example by using netting.
