NWPCS Framework Day “Looking to the Future”

Last Saturday, on October 28, the annual NWPCS framework day took place in Ermelo. The main topic this day was ‘Looking to the Future.

After a welcome over a cup of coffee and cake, chairman Richard Dekkers started the day with a presentation on who we are as a studbook and where we stand. Then the mission, vision & strategy were mapped out together with those present. This provided fun and interesting interaction.

Henriette Fraser (president of the Council of Members) continued this morning with a presentation including questions about the opinions of those present on 5 different themes. Priorities were enthusiastically given by the audience and there was room to explain them. The Executive Committee will take this input into account for the annual plan.

After a delicious lunch, Anneke Dijkstra (secretary) took over and opinions & input were asked in formed groups on a number of topics such as the structure within the studbook, dealing with volunteers and what we as a studbook should pay more attention to.

The afternoon continued with topics such as ‘the Welsh pony as the strongest brand’ were discussed.

The framework day ended with a nice drink and barbecue. On to a bright future for the Welsh Studbook!
