 Summary of AGM and Board Meeting

Appendix A & B

ATTENTION:  ALL MEMBER BODIES

 Regulations Part 5 – Conformation Show, Section 9, Clause 9A.3.1 reads as follows:

9A.3.1 Applications to hold a AAOS A2O show sanctioned by ANKC Ltd, and subsequently by the AAOS, must be sent in the first instance to the Member Body of ANKC Ltd where the show is planned to be held no later than 18 months prior to the intended show date and, if the application is supported by that Member Body, is then to be forwarded to ANKC Ltd for consideration. If approved by ANKC Ltd the application is then to be forwarded to the Secretariat of AAOS no later than 12 months prior, and no earlier than four calendar years prior, to the proposed date of the show. Each application must be accompanied by the application fee. This fee will be refunded if the application is not approved. The timelines in this Section shall not come into force until 1st January 2024.

As noted at the October 2024 Board meeting any A2O Show applications received prior to 1 January 2025 with the applicable fee ($200) will be processed immediately to the A2O Secretariat by this office.

From 1 January 2025, expressions of interest will be called for and these applications will be approved at the October 2025 Board meeting.  Once approved by our Board they will then be forwarded to the A2O Secretariat for their approval.

This will mean that A2O Shows to be held between January and December of the following year will be required to be submitted prior to the October Board meeting the previous year, i.e., 2026 shows are to be submitted when expressions of interest are called for in early 2025.
