9:1 NOESC Logo
J King informed the meeting that an alternative logo is being prepared and will be circulated when ready.
Delegates expressed varying opinions on a logo and by consensus supported the submission of an
alternative design.
9:2 Breed viability
The Chairman raised the issue of falling numbers at National and Championship shows, obedience and
herding activities and the reduction in the number of OES being bred. Delegates and visitors identified a
range of contributing issues and offered a range of potential solutions. The Chairman asked whether
delegates felt that an open forum symposium – held in a relaxed atmosphere - would help to increase those
numbers. The coming National show in Melbourne may offer an opportunity for such a forum. Delegates
and visitors expressed support for the concept.
