Congratulations to British Boer Goat Society member Mike Everitt
Many congratulations to British Boer Goat Society member Mike Everitt of the Oakleigh Herd of Boer Goats who supplied the boer goat meat to renowned Chef Amara Wilson for her winning main course in the final of the Great British Menu this week.
Her reimagined curried goat dish was judged to be outstanding and will be served at the prestigious anniversary banquet which will be celebrating distinguished Britons throughout history.
This just confirms what we all know that boer goat meat is delicious as well as being a healthy red meat alternative.
If anyone wishes to watch the programme it will be on BBC I Player, Episode 27 of the Great British Menu.’
Grassroots update
Dear BBGS Member,
On the 15th of October 2024 we received an exciting new upgrade to the Grassroots system. The screen that members use will remain the same but the software that I use as Administrator is now super speedy, far simpler, and even more secure. The new admin process in the BBGS office creates pdf certificates ready to print at home by yourselves attached to an email ready to be sent without having the printing and postage costs previously incurred.
The Trustees were faced with a choice of having to increase fees for new certificates following registrations and transfers or go paperless and help meet our environmental responsibilities in line with a majority of other breed societies.
You can help keep the Herd Book integrity and accuracy by logging in and updating your births, deaths, and marriages asap please.
Many Thanks
Ian
Registrations secretary
