ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS
UNDER ADVICE
The Annual General Meeting called for 16 August 2026 has been cancelled.
Unfortunately once again THE CONSTITUTION (RULES) of The Old English Sheepdog Club of Victoria Inc have not been followed making the notice invalid.
All members must be provided with procedural fairness to be enabled to fully participate in the 2026 Annual General Meeting and once again this is not being done.
The full committee has not met to determine a date, place, and time of the AGM. Rule 30 (3)
The notice of the AGM was forwarded to members by a committee member without authorization of the full committee, and in any case it is the duty, under the rules, of the Secretary to advise members of any meetings of the club. Rule 33 (1)
Members were not advised of the right to nominate for any position on the committee , whether it be for an Office Bearer or ordinary committee and were not provided with the club’s official nomination form. Nor were members informed that they had to email their nomination form to the Secretary at least six (6) weeks prior to the date of the AGM. Rule 51 (1)
Members were not advised of the provision of being able to appoint another member as their proxy for the meeting and were not provided with a form to be used for the appointment of a proxy. Rule 34 (5).
Once again I will call on the President to request a committee meeting to meet to establish a new date for the AGM and to ensure a correct notice is forwarded to all members allowing for full member participation.

The prime objective of the Old English Sheepdog Club of Victoria Inc. is not only to promote and encourage the breeding of pure-bred Old English Sheepdogs, but also to increase the interest in our breed and desire to have an Old English Sheepdog as a member of the family.
Furthermore, to promote and encourage the caring, upkeep, socialisation, training, and general well-being of Old English Sheepdogs is a priority of the club, and at the forefront of all we do in educating our stunning breed throughout society.
We are fortunate to have our breed as the Dulux Paint Group brand mascot (since 1961), and the Old English Sheepdog is often referred to as the “Dulux Dog”, hence our breed is highly popular and recognisable wherever seen around our communities.
