5. Propositions

5.1 SCSBTS proposes.

The appointment of an individual whose sole responsibility will be the compilation and maintenance of the BC Judges List". 

By way of explanation: Looking at the latest BC Judges List there appear to be a significant number of errors. Whilst it is fully appreciated that the BC Secretary can only compile BC lists based on the information provided by Breed Clubs, we feel that this role now needs a dedicated person who can invest sufficient time and knowledge to making sure all details are correct and up to date at any given time and that this would be too onerous a duty to add to the BC Secretary's workload.  The responsible person would not be an Officer of the BC, nor an Assistant Secretary but a BC Judges List Co-ordinator.
