About the Cornwall Simmental Club

Cornwall Simmental Club was founded in 1995 with the help and encouragement of David Gaunt who was then general secretary of the Simmental Society. Our first president (and original chairman) was John Langdon a well respected, now retired, breeder of Simmentals with his 'Carnon ' herd.
In 2008 we were delighted that James Lawrey, ’Tolver’ herd, accepted our invitation to replace John at the helm. Despite his fragile health James has taken an active interest in the club and was very proud of the way we hosted the National Simmental Show at Royal Cornwall in 2009.

At the recent A.G.M. we reluctantly accepted James’s decision to step down and welcomed Roger Pascoe to the post of President. Roger has enthusiastically organised the club’s annual herd competition, started in 2006, and accompanied the various judges involved the length and breadth of Cornwall.
We provide a hospitality tent at the Royal Cornwall Show every year where members and friends can gather to share tea, cakes and a good chat while resting weary feet or sheltering from sunshine or rain

Members of our club have enjoyed great success in the show and sale rings and new participants are given every encouragement and support from more seasoned campaigners.

We are proud of our reputation as a friendly club and aim to provide plenty of enjoyable social activities during the year ranging from a quiz night to informative talks. January features our annual dinner and we usually have at least one 'day trip' to visit herds and places of interest, a summer B.B.Q combining a farm visit with a sociable evening, and an Autumn 2 or 3 day trip away to visit other Simmental herds.

Our club is well worth joining to meet and chat with other people who share the passion for Simmentals and having our own website enables members to share some highlights and advertise their stock to a wider audience. For example 13,775 hits were generated in October 2009.
