On Monday evening, December 3, the Council of Members meeting was held in Ewijk. The agenda included the predicate system and the 2019 budget. The evening began with the proposal from the Valk family to establish a prize (the Herman Valk trophy) in memory of Herman Valk for the best gelding during the CMK. Both the main board and member council were very charmed by this idea and it is hopefully a good motivation for breeders and owners to present more geldings during the regional inspections and CMK.
Also brief attention was paid to the departure of Mr. Jenniskens from the riding committee due to personal reasons. The Council of Members and the Executive Committee are very grateful to Mr. Jenniskens for his many years of dedication to the NWPCS.
Brief feedback from the various department meetings was given. This showed that time brings a change of structure, which the NWPCS must anticipate. A flatter organizational structure is then required. At the next meeting of the Council of Members, direction will be determined in this regard.
The memorandum on honorary members was accepted unanimously. The council of members was also enthusiastic about the recently held performance test: it went very well in terms of content and execution.
The proposal to change the predicate system was discussed at length. There were still some factual inaccuracies in the proposal. These included size and the fact that points could not be awarded to driving and jumping for the sport predicate. Also, posthumous predicates should be able to be awarded to mares and 2 points are awarded to a second viewing stallion. These points were adjusted on the spot. The other points raised by the Council of Members (e.g. the balance in the scoring, the number of offspring necessary for predicates) were passed on to the Breeding Technical Committee for weighing. However, it is clear that the Council of Members does not want to make the current predicate system more onerous. The executive committee promised an evaluation of the new system by the end of 2019. The Members' Council then decided to give its approval to the new predicate system.
The 2019 budget and fee list were approved and also a 5-year contract will be signed with the KNHS regarding the stallion selection. So also in the coming years this event will take place in Ermelo.
Finally, there were a number of appointments. Lennart Zoet was nominated by the Council of Members as jury member from the jury corps. Rhodé van Praat was nominated on the recommendation of the trust committee from the council of members for the position of chief board member of Breed Breeding and Sport. Rhodé has years of experience in the Welsh world and is a valuable addition to the board. This nomination was therefore approved. Claudie Rosens was added by the main board as a member to the disciplinary committee. Jikke Snelder was appointed by the membership board as a member of the breeding technical committee. Congratulations to the above people. At 10:30 p.m. the chairman closed the meeting.
