Annual report 2011 Message from the Chairman

 

 

Last year we stressed the importance of developing a Youth Policy that would help to ensure the future of our pedigree breeds by helping to encourage the next generation of pedigree pig keepers. I am pleased to report that 2011 has seen the launch of the new Junior Pig Club with over 40 members. Behind the scenes a lot of hard work has gone into ensuring that the new Club complies with all the necessary legal requirements to safeguard the welfare of young members involved in club activities and I would like to thank Tracey and Ian Bretherton, Sarah Kiddy, Steve Richardson and Janice Wood for giving up their time to get Junior Pig Club off to such a successful start.

2011 has seen deepening economic gloom spread across the country and pig keeping has not been exempt from these difficulties. In spite of this recruitment of new pedigree breeders has continued to hold up with numbers exceeding the previous year. Our hard working Breed Representatives play a key role in recruitment and I would like to thank these volunteers for the excellent unpaid work that they do to help convert new pig buyers into pedigree breeders.

Thanks to the launch of Practical Pigs magazine in partnership with Kelsey Publishing, we have also recruited almost 100 new members to our Conservation Club and the new non-breeding membership category. The magazine is widely distributed through farm shops and other rural outlets and has helped to raise the profile of the Association whilst at the same time removing the burden of printing and posting over 2000 newsletters from the office.

Our three committees have also been working hard this year. I would like to thank my Deputy Chairmen: Guy Kiddy, Chris Coe and John Herbert and their committee members for all their hard work.

Breed Development and Conservation

Four more boars have been added to our frozen semen bank this year, two Large Blacks, one British Saddleback and for the first time an Oxford Sandy and Black. We now have all our Traditional Native Breeds represented in the gene bank and plans are underway to add some of the more traditional lines of British Landrace and Large White to the existing store of Welsh boars from the Modern Breeds. In total 35 boar lines have been collected and we only require the Malcolm and Sovereign lines to complete the inventory for our two rarest breeds, Large Black and Middle White.

Working with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust and the Breeders Clubs, our genetics consultant Dr Rex Walters has completed the first round of genetic analysis for these two rarest breeds, the Large Black and the Middle White. This analysis will form the basis of conservation breeding programmes for these two endangered breeds. After keying in over 7000 additional pedigree records to take the computer data back to 1980, we have also completed a similar analysis for the Welsh breed commissioned by Helen Tongue and Christine Vaughan with funding from the Welsh Assembly.

I am very pleased to report that the first volume of the Geoffrey Cloke memorial herdbook has now been published. This is a long term programme which aims to fill in the missing years from 1976 to 1998 when no herdbooks were published. The first breed to be completed is the Middle White and others will follow in due course. A project is also underway to set up herdbook exchange so that surplus duplicate copies of old herdbooks can be passed on to members and build a distributed archive.

Following its inclusion on the official Defra Native Breeds at Risk list the Oxford Sandy & Black has been added to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust Watchlist for the first time this year. There is also good news for the British Landrace and Large White breeds. The Original

Populations of these two native breeds, recorded in the BPA herdbooks have been added to the official Breeds at Risk list giving them additional protection.

The Committee will be launching initiatives in 2012 to ensure the survival the original lines of these two breeds which have contributed so much to commercial pig production both at home and abroad. For a breed to survive it must have a market and so it is good to see that our British Landrace and Large White breeders have taken advantage of the new export certificate negotiated with China last year to resume sales of breeding stock to this most important overseas market.

Pedigree Pork

This has been a difficult year for Pedigree Pork producers with feed prices putting the squeeze on margins and consumers cutting back on expenditure. Thankfully the quality of our product has helped to sustain producers who work hard on their marketing. The introduction of the new electronic movement licences offers Pedigree Pork producers the chance to help build a database of Pedigree Pork retailers so that we can help to promote Pedigree Pork wherever it is sold.

Pedigree Pork has also been listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste giving our producers another opportunity to promote their pork to an already sympathetic group of consumers in the Slow Food movement.

Two successful training programmes have been run in the North West organised by the North West Pig Club. We hope that this regional model can be used in other parts of the country to tap into local funding for training programmes. Caron Stewart has been working with Quality Meat Scotland to put together a training programme in Scotland which will launch in the new year.

Pedigree Pork also featured for the first time in 30 years at Highland Winter Fair with a stand supported by many of the Breed Clubs to raise awareness of Pedigree Pigs in Scotland and a sausage competition to show the quality of our product. In Wales Keith Brown has once again delivered a first class event at the Welsh Winter Fair. Congratulations to all those who have taken part in the BPEX roadshows so far and in the National Sausage Week promotions. Success in these competitions shows that our producers not only have the best tasting pork but also that they can turn it into award winning sausages and pork products judged against some of the country’s top butchers.

Shows and Sales

A Spring Sale was organised this year at Chelford Market by Stephen Booth and Steve Richardson this year. The event proved very popular and will be repeated again in 2012.

After a run of 6 successful events at Ross on Wye our National Show & Sale moved to Stoneleigh this year where our team led by Nick Hunkin joined forces with native breed cattle and sheep. For the first time the pigs were shown in a ring on the day before the sale with a full set of breed classes. The National Pedigree Show and Sale continues to provide an opportunity for breeders to move genetics around at the end of the end of the showing season and we are very grateful for the support of our first class auctioneers Norton and Brooksbank who work very hard to ensure the best possible prices for good quality stock.

Our New Judges Scheme administered by Viki Mills has become a valuable tool to help breeders make the transition from exhibitor to judge.

The BPA show calendar already has 20 Accredited Shows and we receive many request from new shows with pig classes to recognised by the Association. We have introduced a new class of Affiliated Shows this year with Dorset County, Great Eccleston and Westmorland Shows as the trial events. The requirements for Affiliated Shows are less stringent and we hope this will provide a path for smaller shows to become part of the BPA programme.

Inspections were carried out a number of shows this year to check ear numbers against catalogue entries. Thank you to all those who helped carry out these checks. The inspections revealed that there is still much work to be done with the show societies before we can implement a full programme of checks. A system of random checking based on pedigree certificates will be introduced next year to ensure that all pigs at BPA shows are herdbook registered.

With the transfer of the pig enterprise from Cranborne Estates to Hatfield we said goodbye to our main sponsor for the Pig of the Year competitions after 7 years of very generous support and welcomed a new sponsor for the Pig of the Year – Debbie and Andrew’s Sausages. The Yorkshire based family business enjoyed their first year as sponsors and joined members for the traditional lunch and prize giving after the final at Harrogate.

Association projects

The Association has continued to work closely with Government to ensure that our members interests and our breeds are taken into account when policies are being formulated. A new policy to address the problem of spillover of Bovine TB in pigs and is being prepared and will for the first time take account of the potential impact on our Native Breeds at Risk.

The BPA works closely with the National Expert Committee on Farm Animal Genetic Resources. The committee has prioritised the development of Approved Breeding Programmes that could offer similar support to keepers of native breed pigs as that offered through the grazing programmes to sheep and cattle.

An important part of an Approved Breeding Programme will be biosecurity. The BPA is involved with the National Pig Health and Welfare Strategy and is working to develop biosecurity plans and producer assessment schemes that will benefit smaller producers who cannot join mainstream Farm Assurance Schemes.

New movement licensing systems have been introduced in Great Britain to ensure that pigs moved are notified in advance. This is an important step in ensuring that we can control outbreaks of exotic disease. The Association has been working tirelessly with government to ensure that smaller producers are catered for in the new system.

Whilst 2011 has been a difficult year for all pig producers and pedigree breeders have not been immune from the problems, I am pleased to see that our committees are working hard in their sectors and that the Association is working at a national level on a range of exciting projects that will deliver long term benefits to our growing membership.

(Limited by Guarantee) DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2010

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2010. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in March 2005 and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to small companies regime. Our Aims and objectives Purposes and Aims Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to: The advancement of animal welfare and in particular those of breed society functions in pedigree pig recording and conservation. The aims of our charity are to provide comprehensive services to pedigree pig farmers in maintenance of their individual pigs and herds; educate members about the risks of disease and welfare of animals through organising training workshops, shows and exhibitions both in the U. K. and overseas; development of the pedigree pig industry both in the United Kingdom and overseas by exchanges between countries. Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up. Ensuring our work delivers our aims We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. Regular meetings are arranged by dedicated committees to review animal welfare, training, organisation of shows and events, regional and specific matters, conservation of rare breeds, inspection of animal herds and special projects. The executive committee meets at least once a year to review the work of the individual committees. The reviews look at the success of each core activity and the benefits they have delivered to those groups of people we are set to help. The reviews also help us to ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused and deliver the planned benefits. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Financial Review The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on pages 12 and 13 of the financial statements. A summary of the financial results and the work of the charity is set out below. The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory in extremely difficult and challenging financial and operational environment caused by the slowdown of the UK economy. The statement of financial activities shows net deficit of £18,759 (2009: Deficit of £19,403) for the year before investment gains and losses, and our reserves after revaluation of assets, stand at £507,233. The trustees have reviewed the fund-raising strategy and return on fund-raising costs. Fund-raising costs were £156,013 (2009: £112,456). Increase in costs was due to enhanced level of overseas activities, which made a positive contribution to reducing the net deficit for the year. Fund-raising costs were financed by sponsorships, grants and contributions from members participating in the activities. Global stock markets showed some improvement during 2010 although the markets remain volatile and unpredictable. Unfortunately, this uncertain environment has meant most stock market-based investments are unlikely to deliver sufficient returns in the immediate future. The activities of the charity have remained the same as in previous year. Principal Funding Sources Our charity receives principal funding from membership subscriptions and pedigree recording services together with sponsorships, grants and voluntary donations. In the current year, the Council authorised to continue to promote and expand the pedigree pig industry both in the United Kingdom and overseas. Overseas schemes were mainly funded by grants and sponsorships. Events organised in the United Kingdom during 2010 were financed from our own funds and from support of our sponsors.

DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2010 Investment policy and returns The executive committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found that specialised unit trusts, designed for the charity sector, meet their requirements to generate both income and capital growth. In view the continuing volatility of the stock markets, the trustees have for the time being repositioned listed investments to stop deterioration of our capital base by moving most of our stock market investments to relatively safer investments such as Sterling Gilt deposits. In view of this strategic policy, the return on investments are likely to be significantly lower than our target rate of return which remains at over 4%. The market value of our investments have remained static following decision by the trustees to invest in assets which are less volatile in the current economic climate. The trustees have kept under review the movements in the market value of our investments and taken appropriate actions to sell and purchase investments as considered appropriate. Reserves policy and funds available The Charity funds its various activities partly from membership subscriptions and fees, investment income and other fund raising activities including grants and sponsorships. The current level of services we provide are normally expected to result in a deficit of income over expenditure in the short term, which is financed by reserves of the Charity. The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves required to effectively continue the breed society functions in pedigree pig recordings and conservation and provide other related services to its members. The review concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently, and to provide uninterrupted services, the current level of reserves should be maintained. The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the charity’s functions for the short to medium term, and the trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be satisfactory. The charity has a number of other designated and restricted funds, which are represented by investments. ‘Geoffrey Cloke Memorial Fund’ to honour Mr. G. E. Cloke, was set up during 2004 from donations to serve the interests of the Association and its members. This fund currently holds a balance of £3,141. (See note 15)

Plans for future periods The trustees expect to continue its breed society functions in pedigree pig recordings and conservation; organise events, shows and exhibitions both in the United Kingdom and worldwide to promote animal welfare and the recording and conservation of pedigree pigs. Structure, Governance and Management Governing document The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. Structure and management The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. All directors of the company are also trustees of the Charity, and there are no other trustees. All of the trustees named on page 2 served partly or throughout the year. The Board has the power to appoint additional trustees, as it considers fit to do so. All trustees, except for Mr. P. Brier, Mr. B. Knight, Mr. J. S. Millard and Mrs. V. Mills serve for a three-year period and may be re-elected. Trustee Induction and Training Most trustees are already familiar with our charity’s work through their activities as pedigree pig farmers. Our charity regularly organises training workshops, inward mission to the United Kingdom from overseas pedigree pig farmers and outward missions to learn and exchange expertise with overseas pedigree pig farmers. Risk Management The executive committee has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of regular appraisals of plans, which would allow for the diversification of resources.
