Gundog Club directors Pippa and Sam are delighted to announce that the Gundog Club is now under the ownership and management of a new charity: The Gundog Trust. All proceeds from the sale of training, books, field tests etc through the Gundog Club will now go to the charity, and be used to fulfil the charity’s mission and formal objectives.
Its always sad to let go of something you have worked so hard on, but Sam and I will remain on board as two of the five trustees, and we are confident that moving to charitable status is the best way for the Gundog Club to continue to fulfil its important mission of helping all gundogs and their owners
Incorporation of The Gundog Trust
The first meeting of the board of trustees for The Gundog Trust was held on 6th June, and the trustees are pleased to confirm that the incorporation of The Gundog Trust as a company limited by guarantee* is now complete. The process of registering The Gundog Trust with the Charity Commission is underway and we are now planning the public launch of the charity
Countdown to launch
The official launch of our new charity will take place in early August 2011. We will be arranging some fun celebratory activities and fundraising events to take place in the next few weeks so please watch this space!
