December Meeting of Area Committees

20 members were present at the December meeting.

Donald McLean was made an honorary member and John Bromage was appointed treasurer of the HTA.

All the recommendations were defeated.

A discussion regarding the mixture endorsed rule 70.1. The formula for trail mixture is 100 ml of aniseed and 4 litres of paraffin.

The problem highlighted- was the mixture responsible for respiratory problems in hounds and that some areas were paying 28p per litre and some £1.30p  per litre.

The results were inconclusive and further investigation was deemed necessary!

A request from the bookmakers regarding payment on the official result was passed on to the Executive as was the timing and clashing of dates with other sporting events.
